Upgrading MoBo

[short lotus]

I use my pc for gaming and streaming, mainly call of duty. (Thinking about getting into recording.) I don’t know if this helps but let me know any thoughts, thank you.

[tawny wren]

why you need new board?

so RBG/you want to MIX ram

wait your current board can run 192GB of ram

[short lotus]

i checked the manual it says it’ll only run 32 gb

[short lotus]

and no, i have 4 sticks of corsair vengeance but when i ran all 4 it wasn’t working

[ebon grove]

Per slot

Which is also incorrect

It should be 48 per slot

[ebon grove]

Make sure to turn on XMP in bios or do some research rather than assume that it just doesn’t work

4 sticks is typically worse than 2 but on rare cases it’s cheaper

You what you said you do and what you plan on doing, dual channel 32gb is perfectly fine and you won’t need any more unless you start editing

[tawny wren]

so your problem is mixing ram

not the mobo

[ebon grove]

mixing ram isnt a problem, it only makes it run at the stick with the lowest speed, but you see all the capacity. mixing ram isnt a bad thing, just try to get fast sticks in general

[tawny wren]

ok your dont understand how overclocking ram works

eg i run 4x16GB can get 5600 stable where with just 2x16GB 6200 stable was commen on older AGESA updata

[tawny wren]

so ddr5 4800?

[ebon grove]

if one of the sticks is rated to 4800 yeah

but if the lowest stick is like 5800 then theyll all do that even if all the others are 6400 or something really high

it doesnt do default speed it does lowest xmp speed when xmp is enabled

[tawny wren]

so your saying if i buy 2 8200 kits they going to run fine togther

[uneven meteor]

make sure they are the same voltage and CLs, but otherwise yes

they will run at 8200 if those apply

[ebon grove]

yeah

[tawny wren]

ddr5 just the fact your running 2dpc it offen shits its self

[ebon grove]

different cl will be more taxing on your cpu but its still fine

not saying its a good idea

[tawny wren]

?

how dose tcl afect load on imc

[ebon grove]

im just saying its not as bad as people say it is

[ebon grove]

memory controller

[tawny wren]

yes imc

[ebon grove]

different timings and capacity to work with

[tawny wren]

but timings dont afect stable clock if limited by imc

[uneven meteor]

ur ram has data that ur cpu might need soon.
if the CLs are different its more difficult for ur CPU to manage how to get the data most efficiently/most quickly

[ebon grove]

like if one is fast one is slow its a lot for the memory controller to work with

[ebon grove]

no

[tawny wren]

tcl dont matte

[ebon grove]

exacly

[tawny wren]

your saying i can run timing not the same on each stick?

[uneven meteor]

u can run it, u just lose like half a % of ur CPu performance

so its really not that bad

i shouldnt have said that along with voltage, bc voltage HAS to be the same

[tawny wren]

i have not used cpu where you can set difrent timigns per stick

[tawny wren]

ddr5 you can set per dimm voltage if mobo suports

[uneven meteor]

idk how stable that is with different voltage kits, it might be fine, it might mean ur pc wont even turn on. maybe someone here knows

[tawny wren]

all i going to say mixing ram is a pain but not end of world just with many ddr5 its just dont going to work at xmp

[uneven meteor]

if its same voltage its not even a pain

[tawny wren]

just set 1.5V and let it be

[uneven meteor]

its really just a very very minor performance hit

[uneven meteor]

i hope that works, im just not sure

but it might work

[tawny wren]

h16a can take it

[uneven meteor]

i would confirm that before buying tho

[tawny wren]

if your running the same mhz/timings it be faster

[uneven meteor]

if ur runnign same MT/s + CLs it will just be the same

thats not even mixing at that point anymore

[tawny wren]

its not they simple

tcl is right at the bottom of list of timings that afect performance

[tawny wren]

what cpu/ram you got

[uneven meteor]

5700x3d 32x2gb 3600 CL 18

[tawny wren]

i wonder how much faster trrds 4 trrdl 4 or 6 depends on your ram tfaw 16 will be + tunned trfc depends on IC

[uneven meteor]

my system is complete overkill anyway, will be a long time until i bother with any overclocking anyway

[tawny wren]

that stement is very bad in terms of ROI

[uneven meteor]

?

[tawny wren]

why wait to OC if on the table since 20% gains in games from today to lets say 5 year vs 4 years you get 20% gains your upgrade on the 5 year same time in setting up OC but your having gains for way less time ROI retern on invement

[uneven meteor]

bro i dont need more than 500 FPS in hades

its enough

xD

[tawny wren]

most of the gains are in the lows

its very noticale in many games i play even when getting 600 fps avg

[uneven meteor]

i didnt even notice going from 60 hz to 180 hz unless i had the ufo test active but never in gaming

ppl are different

so can we get back to helping OP?

[tawny wren]

there problem was did not read maunal and was not having luck with ram oc
