Yoo I have some question.
In rams is it better to buy new RAMS (32gb, 2x16) or just buy the same brand as my current RAMS (16gb, 8x2). Which will save me a few bucks but is there any like downsides to having more ram stick?
In upgrading my CPU cooler what do I need to keep in mind? Im looking to upgrade my stock AMD coolers maybe for better cooling since my pc get hot specifically the glasses and maybe for looks too.

Specs? Also don’t add a single stick, buy a kit

dry yew
#

my pc specs?

#

I have
r5 3600
gtx 1650
16gb(2x8) rams

#

also do I have to note my power supply? I currently have a 500watts rn. will changing from stock to an AIO cooler make any changes to my wattage?

#

dont get aio

#

maybe get cooler like thermalright PA 120

cinder wolf
#

aio would be a waste of money

jade cloak
#

and if you NEED more ram get 2x16GB of 3200 jedec if you dont want to mess with bios at all

r5 3600 (your current) is OKAY with the box cooler..

dry yew
#

might get 5600x or sum

cinder wolf
#

if you dont thermal throttle

cinder wolf
#

honestly i have aio and i would switch back to air

jade cloak
cinder wolf
#

honestly since you are am4, why buy 5600x and not 5700x3d? the performace hit is huge

dry yew
jade cloak
#

only in workloads that make uses of L3

cinder wolf
#

but thats almost specific only to rust, other games are 10-15%, and in some its the exact same

jade cloak
#

welp and ram oc offen gain more then 30%

#

on the nomal vermer cpus

#

sadly the lower clocks are a pain and many workloads dont scail with L3

dry yew
#

rn I only play like val and sum story games, but more roblox stuff which I do rdp (6 users in one pc) and a lil bit of streaming and video editin.

#

rn just tryna upgrade my ram since it always at 100 and my cpu

cinder wolf
dry yew
#

and the thought to just buy another set of 16gb(8x2) with same brand as I have rn came to mind but I guess I should't do that

jade cloak
cinder wolf
#

but if you wanna buy cpu, look at used ones. i bet you can buy used 5700x3d for a good price. but would recommend a better cooler.

i didnt mix personally, but seen so many ppl mix and it works

jade cloak
#

or do you love to use jedec or slow af ram

dry yew
#

whats jedec?

jade cloak
#

the spec

#

jedec made the spec and we call there bins that they made jedec bins'

cinder wolf
#

so if two brands use it, it should work

dry yew
#

ohh

jade cloak
#

most of the jedec bins you see on ram are 1067mhz

cinder wolf
dry yew
#

but like buying the same brand as I have rn can still have problems?

jade cloak
#

ddr5 was made by jedec but offen they run at 1800mhz if you running mixied ddr5

jade cloak

#

i lost 133mhz when i mixed ram it was so said

#

and the timings where worse

cinder wolf
#

133mhz isnt like super downgrade

dry yew
#

tbh im only concered about the "problems" if I like just add another 2x 8gb. and not the speed after

cinder wolf
jade cloak
cinder wolf
jade cloak
#

but older cpu that cant run very high speeds

cinder wolf
#

those speeds on amd would be impossible, wouldnt they?

dry yew
jade cloak
#

1200mhz to 1333 mhz is same as ddr5 7200 to 8000 in % change

jade cloak
cinder wolf
#

so what exact rams you got rn?

jade cloak
#

i can give you a ram reconmadion

dry yew
#

I have the teamgroup dark za rn

#

Im looking to buy the 32gb corsair vengeance lpx and like looking for other ones

jade cloak
dry yew
#

dry yew
jade cloak
