Hi all,
Im new to this forum but have been using overclockers for many years.
I just wanted to ask what ram would be the best option for me. My Build is as follows, Gigabyte X570 AORUS MASTER, Arctic Freezer 360mm AIO, x5900,980 Samsung, Gigabyte Radeon RX 6800 XT Aorus Master 16GB OC.
At the moment I have the
TEAM GROUP EDITION 32GB (2X16GB) DDR4 PC4-25600C14 3200MHZ DUAL CHANNEL KIT
i was looking at getting
TEAM GROUP XTREEM " EDITION" 32GB (4X8GB) DDR4 PC4-32000C18 4000MHZ QUAD CHANNEL KIT - BLACK
Any help would be brilliant and much appreciated.

Thankyou for reading

Overclock current RAM and save some cash?
Others will know better, but will that 'upgrade' actually get you any more performance?

Unless you want to completely waste your money, stick with the 3200cl14.

Should also check your cpu with those to see how high an fclk it will run.

Thx guys I've overclocked to 3866 i think. and all is stable.
I don't throw money and the pc that often so wanted the best atm, as will be a long time until I spend again.
(other than an 2K IPS)

I heard that x5900 works better than 4 sticks of ram?
also, the sweet-spot was around 4000?
How true this is I'm unsure. There is so much info, I'm unsure what to go with?

If you have your current memory stable at 3866 stick with it.
Buying 4000mhz memory will be a complete waste of money.

Spend the money elsewhere on the PC...
