RAM upgrade for I7-10700K

IntelEnglish · 10 months ago

Thinking of getting new RAM for i7-10700k currently I have HyperX Predator 2x8 3200MHz. And I’m thinking of getting 2x16 kit for coding/virtual machines, gaming although I’m not sure which speed should I get, my motherboard is ASUS Z-490PLUS and it supports up to 4600MHz. Although, I’ve read some posts and some suggest getting 3600MHz or is it better to get faster RAM like 4000/4400/4600 to future-proof my PC?

Just stick with the 3200mhz just make sure it cl16 or faster, you won’t see a noticeable difference performance wise.
