mix and matching ram?

[summer apex]

You shouldn’t

[abstract rover]

Why?

Its the same gb and the same mhz

[summer apex]

Is your ram utilization at 100%?

Currently

[abstract rover]

Wym 100%

[summer apex]

Like in games is your ram all being used?

[abstract rover]

Yeah

15.8gb

Or somewthing like that

[summer apex]

It’s best not to mix and match kits

[abstract rover]

Even if its the same gb and the same mhz

[summer apex]

Yes

[abstract rover]

Ok

[summer apex]

You can if you want tho

It’ll probably be fine

[abstract rover]

Alr

[lucid spoke]

if its 3200 jedec its fine

@abstract rover is it using xmp

[abstract rover]

Yeah

[lucid spoke]

then RIP ram working at higher then 2133

[abstract rover]

Why? My current ram is 3200 and 16gb and the new ram i wanna get si 3200 and 16gb ram

Just diff brand

[lucid spoke]

That’s not how simple ram is

One even if you buy 2 kits of same xmp ram good luck having the same ram

Brand dose not matter

The ic is what matter

I have not had xmp work for me at all in the past and it’s like once every 2 days where some ask for help with crashing and disabling xmp fix it

Then I tell them deal with slower clock speed or manual oc with help of #overclocking

[languid canopy]

It works fine

Most of the time

Hell my kits don’t even have the same specs

[lucid spoke]

In my experience it works 0% of the time out of the 4 kits I tried on 3 cpus and 3 motherboards

In many configs

[lucid spoke]

Lucky

[languid canopy]

Did you try just manually setting the ram speed

[lucid spoke]

Xmp that did not work so I went to manual oc got it fast and stable

[languid canopy]

So it did work then

[lucid spoke]

Xmp was crashing

[languid canopy]

XMP does not work very often yea

[lucid spoke]

Manual oc I did worked

[languid canopy]

But if you just manually set the speed and memtest it should be fine

[lucid spoke]

Don’t use memtest86

[languid canopy]

Why not?

[lucid spoke]

It’s shit vs modern stress tests

[languid canopy]

I know it’s kinda an easy test to pass but it’ll at least tell you if XMP is fucked or not

[lucid spoke]

Like pass 1 hour of mem test 86 fails in 5 min of tm5

[warm heart]

@abstract rover what country?

[warm heart]

though this depends on what config is used

[abstract rover]

Why? Canada

[warm heart]

https://www.amazon.ca/Silicon-Power-Turbine-3200MHz-288-pin/dp/B07PV7GL6C/ do a complete swap out with something like this

[abstract rover]

Thats my current ram

[warm heart]

but as a 16gb kit right?

[lucid spoke]

https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B08HLZ2P7M?tag=pcp0f-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1 better ram for only $4 more

[warm heart]

not really, i know the silicon power ram will work straight away on xmp, same as that teamgroup one would, and both are 3200 cl16

[abstract rover]

Yeah

[warm heart]

just do a complete swap out of the same kit at a higher capacity

[abstract rover]

Ok

[brave anvil]

how is that “better” if it’s CL22

[lucid spoke]

its is better due to magic of ram

xmp timings suck

lots
