      Yep. I've been using RipJaws RAM for at least 10 years. I have never had a problem with RipJaws and I've installed it in all my machines and in the machines of several builds I did for family, friends, and customers.

      it dosent really matter what brand you use today because 95% off all RAM Chips are one of the 4 big player Micron, Samsing and Hynix. Also the memory training algorithms of you memory controller are way better as it was at DDR2 and DDR3 as it was introduced the first time. But as long your Manufacturer of that Stick doesn't screwed up with the PCB and their Configuration controller aka SPD = Serial Presence Detect, this tells your System everything that is needed to work properly and based on this information RAM testing and training works its magic and may or may not improve things.
      i have never tested if this does something but is annoying anyway waiting 10min for 64gb ram and i personally run RAM on JEDAC settings because of stability under constant High bandwidth. I do work with my PC for the most time, and sometimes it runs a singular workload at 90% CPU and constantly accessing 20gb to 58gb RAM.
      XMP sucks if you do that type of workload, even your program could run faster but utilizing 30 threads at one with a 4 times overprovisioning, because disk IO times therefore reducing CPU idle time, this means i run about 120 threads at once. Sometimes over Days.
      but back to the RAM it self. Cheaper brands using the same chips so the quality on RAM is the same, But temperature managing or signal integrity can be a problem on them especial on those RGB junk. In fact RGB slows your system down, for 2 reasons. 1. CPU usage, you have to actively write to a certain memory address on the RAM. 2. Rank blocking, you can only read or write to the ram if your rank you try to access is available and only one task per cycle has access. Rank interliving is the reason why 4 sticks are slower as 2 stick on a dual channel system, also the bandwidth stays the same. But this isn't fully true, it depends on if you use Single Rank or Dual Rank RAM. Your Memory controller can access 1/2/4 ranks per channel. The reason is address bus bit size. Usually DDR4 is 65bit wide bus, but some Single ranks use a 128bit wide address bus those are double-sided, there are perfect for big files. In this case, only 1 task can access the RAM per channel. if you have a Single Sided RAM this doesn't change even with a second stick, the reason is both using the same data lines.
      Dual rank RAM is the most common type and uses both sides of a Channel, therefore your memory controller can access both Ranks at the same time. If your Memory controler supports this you could use 4 Rank modules, but this cuts your data lines in half. the Benefits of this is you can have 4 tasks access the RAM at the same time bit the data chunks are half in size as well. This is perfect for databases who handle small 1kb or less files.
      Your memory controller has a limitation of how many ranks are addressable in one channel, but this doesn't change the bandwidth, only the potential Capacity and the performance depending on your workload. The numbers of Channels on the other hand increases the bandwidth and how many tasks can access at the same time, but more channels means more space is needed for your RAM controller on your CPU and this doesn't scale well, that is why consumer PC have only 2 Channels and 4 Ranks per Channel (2 slots per Channel). but you can access only one slot per channel, therefore your system constantly switching between slots, the faster you update your pretty RGB, the less possibility has your program to access your RAM and your CPU decides holding your thread in one core for processing and fewer cores are now available for your program as well.
      In the end, the slower your whole system is, the more impact on performance it has.

    you did this test wrong fo a couple of reason. 1. different gpus with different amounts of vram. A video card with 8gb will offload more to the system ram than a 12gb card will. Shouldve used the exact same card in the systems 1a. You used different brands of gpu. Nvidia and AMD cards work completely differently to each other in regards to how their specific type of ram works while using dlss or the amd equivelant. 2. you didnt mention if you used dlss/ray tracing or not. 3. what speed was the ddr4 and ddr5? top speed ddr4 will outform low speed ddr5. 6. What timings and frequencies where was the ram running at?

    For gaming 32 GB is a Great start - for astro photography - 132 to 256 or 512 GB is fairly common. Your hobbies determine your needs - and if your gear has his much capability - you can do a lot more than simply play games. Modern GPUs with their abundance of CUDA cores can really streamline tasks that take a while. Sharpening a 73MB image of a nebula takes 16 minutes on my 36 core dual Xeon workstation - but when I used GPU rather than CPU based CUDA this task on my RTX 4070 shrinks to a minute!

    The amount of ram you NEED varies greatly on what your doing. Starfield for example will run with 16gb but of course runs better with 32gb. The Starfield Creation Kit however REQUIRES 32gb and recommends 48gb or higher. When building a PC or buying a pre made one find out how many slots you have and your maximum potential of your board and CPU. That way You have a future upgrade path that way no matter what you choose.

  • @johnjoy6374

    Do the amount of dimms matter??? I was thinking of getting the recommended ram for my new AMD Ryzen 9800X3D that is going on my new AsRock X780E motherboard, but unfortunately it only comes in 2 dimms of 16GB for a total of 32GB. I need at least 42GB for Star Citizen for it to play well. So I was thinking of getting two packs, which would be 64GB over 4 dimms of G.skills Royal 6000 28 latency. Should that be okay??? Or should I find a different ram kit that has 2 dimms of 32gb for a total of 64gb???? Thank you for you time and I will like and subscribe

    • @rodrigolbrigante
      @rodrigolbrigante หลายเดือนก่อน

      several tests prove that both intel and AMD struggle to handle 4 dimms. When using 4 dimms, usually the frequency of all of them drop to the minimum, so if I were you, I would go with a 2x 32GB to have 64GB total, and still get high frequency. For example, 2x 32GB would run at 5600mhz while 4x 16GB would run at 4800 or lower (even though each dimm individually could go up to 6000 or more). If amount of RAM is more important to you than frequency speed, then go for 4 dimms, but if higher memory frequency matters, then try as much as possible to stay with 2 dimms to make sure you are getting the max frequency possible.

    • @johnjoy6374
      @johnjoy6374 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @ yeah, I did further research and I since I purchased a 9800X3D, Asrock Taichi X870E, I ended up going with the AMD recommended 2 dimm set of G.Skill Trident Z5 DDR5 6000 (2x32) for a total of 64gb. The reason I went with 64gb instead of 32gb, is that watching a reviewer I trust showed that for Star Citizen (the game I play the most), you need a minimum of 42gb of ram to get higher stable frame rates. I also play a lot of Helldivers 2, which only needs 32gb, but Star Citizen is my focus. Thank you very much for the information, I really appreciate you taking time out of your day to get back to me.

    The 16Gb sticks being dual module is the difference here meaning those sticks have 8Gb of ram on both sides to make up one 16Gb stick which is always going to run slightly faster than a single module 8Gb stick either way ALWAYS making sure to run them in dual channel mode as well makes a difference.
