DRAM Ratio Confusion

[tistou77]

Hello

With DDR4-3200, It's better to have a strap to 100 or 125?
And the BCLK (if it's related), 100 or 125?
And it's better to put 100:100 or 100:133?

Thanks for your help

If you're using good quality sticks, 3200MHz should be stable with the 100 strap. If not, switch to the 125 strap. Speedstep and adaptive voltage doesn't work under the 125 strap though.

... Now if this post does not give you any more insight or idea, I need to find a new job and you guys need to find a new hobby!

It's stable with the strap 100 but is that the strap (and bclk) have an influence on performance (bandwidth, for example)?

I did not understand the x24 ratio for the ram

Thanks

should i go with gskill 3200 or 3000?

also i need some advise on 16gb vs 32 gb decision.

i just want a future proof pc. ı had 4gb when i was building my qx6700 system while 2gb was more than enough. i am trying to guess if i ever need more than 16gb for example 4 years later...

thanks

Hello

3000MHz or 3200MHz is a personal choice based on how much money you want to spend. If going with either speed 16GB would be the correct size as there are no 32GB kits available at those speeds from G.Skill.

yes i was thinking to get 2 kits in order to do that. would it be problematic?

Yes it could very well be. Memory manufacturers only qualify kits to run at their rated specs as bought. When combining kits those specs are no longer valid. If 32GB could be commonly and easily used at these speeds G.Skill would be offering them for sale.

thanks Praz. now i know what should i do.

regardless of kits, what is your opinion about 16gb and 32gb.

Hello

16GB is currently plenty for most people. Hard to say what the future may require. G.Skill does offer a 32GB kit at 2800MHz which also runs at 1.2V compared to the 1.35V needed for the 3000MHz/3200MHz 16GB kits.
