  • Are you me? I currently have am running a 5820k with 4 sticks as well and upgrading to a 14900k. I am using it primarily for music production/work and gaming, and am weighing the benefits of going with a larger amount of ram and lower ram speeds, or higher ram speeds vs smaller amount.

    I’m trying to find real world data on how ram speeds actually affect performance in the programs I use. It honestly seems like a large sacrifice being bound to 2x48 sticks just to be able to OC well. I would like 128gb or more ideally.

    I have found some conversations (albeit anecdotal) that high ram speeds can allow you to be able to run a lower hardware buffer rate in a recording DAW. Trying to find more evidence towards this, but that could be a compelling argument towards ram speed for people in the audio world.
