    Seeing 48GB RAM is doing my head in. So used to 8,16,32,64GB kits. Haven't seen 48GB since the LGA1366 days

      Yeah, I didn't get the memo on 24GB sticks!

      • Fairly recent release (3-4 months ago) so it didn't come out with the initial ddr5 release.

    This might be a dumb question, but do all motherboards support 24GB DIMMS?

      mostly support up to 128G, some even up to 256GB

      Not a dumb question, and not a clear answer. Some work out the box, some work with a BIOS update, some dont work, some partially work at lower speeds, from what I can see.

      Concise answer, confirm support with your motherboards manufacturer's support page and check for BIOS updates.

        Cheers - yeah I realise I have to check my specific motherboard to be sure… but wasn't sure if it was general supported across the board. Thanks!

          Pun intended?

  • I'm going through a mental breakdown

      these numbers make me uncomfortable

    its better to have 64gb 3600mhz ddr4 than 48gb 5200mhz ddr5 i think

    • Better can mean a lot of things

    • Latency is probably what you were referring to. However, the main advantage of DDR5 is the doubling of bandwidth.
      There are some design changes to allow higher frequency being achievable.

      • It's been a few years since I built my pc so I'm not up to date with ddr5, but isn't cl38 timing terrible? Or does the increased bandwidth make up for the big dip in latency? My understanding was you were aiming for as low as possible with CL 16 or under being pretty good (for DDR4)

        • When calculating RAM latency, you need to consider both frequency and CAS latency. Otherwise, if we simply use just latency, then DDR4-2133 CL12 would be better than DDR4-3600 CL16. So, if the RAM can send data to the CPU more frequently, even if each time there is a slightly longer delay in nanoseconds before CPU gets it, overall, it can be faster.

          There is also how much data the RAM can send to the CPU each time. That's why GPU can use GDDR6 memory. For gaming, the extra RAM bandwidth can help.
