Help finding the fastest memory this mobo will take

3080guy · 11 Sep 2021 at 22:51

I have a 3080 and want to sell my current RAM and put birthday money towards buying 32GB of the fastest ram my motherboard will take, which is 4133mhz ram. I have this inexpensive mobo

Im very happy to put money towards 4133mhz ram, I realise the sweet spot in price/performance is for slower ram.

What Id like help with though please, is finding the best priced 4133mhz ram I can buy online for 32gb of decent quality 4000 or preferably 4133 ram.

Thanks for the help.

Highly unlikely even a 5000 chip will run the infinity fabric that high

I figured the latency or available bandwidth somewhere would be sped up fractionally, improving fps a tad

I'll have to read your previous comments a few more times and consult google to understand that properly. Thanks.
