Quote from slugbom :
I know what you mean. If only all the terms being used here like "Intel ram" and "stock clockspeed" were real things that PC builders had to consider

When I was about to buy this ram it was two of the same stick not a pair and everyone was telling me the same thing. Doom and gloom and the unpaired sticks would fail etc

Glad I didn't listen. I hope people here can see through this sky is falling nonsense. It's gonna be ok



For the hundredth time you can set whatever timings you want with this mobo and ram. It's tested working. And a lower CL # is also needed or you're only posting half the equation anyway
I got it. I can see the difference in our perception. You believe that you can set whatever timings and CL you want, so the RAM spec does not matter. I believe that the final clockspeed and CL you can reach stably relates to the stock speed/latency, so the RAM spec does matter and there is a reason for lower-spec RAM.

Yes there is a fundamental difference in our understanding on RAM spec and overclocking. It is ok though.

Quote from J.treehorn :
A combo with crappy Intel ram and AMD motherboard doesn't seem very slick IMO.
Perspective:
This is a budget motherboard. It has a heat sink on the VRM, so it's an OKish entry level B550 motherboard for $90.

The Ram bundle takes it to $130. That's $40 for 32G. Yeah, it's slow. But I got a 16G kit of 3200MHz-CL16 for $59. So 32G for 66% of the cost, it's still a deal. If you have an Intel build slap it in there or flip it on EBay or Craig's list. If you can sell it for more than $40 your making out.

If you want a better motherboard or faster Ram don't buy it.

But will it run Crysis?

So you know. Someone did run it off the gpu memory alone



That isn't how it works. That isn't how any of this works. Just a heads up

I have had the same exact ram for a few years and run it stable at well above that. The ram alone is fine. You need the mobo and bios to run it faster and the chip to benefit from it
You are actually so misinformed that it was entertaining to read through your responses on this thread.

Thanks for that.

Nah. You can't set whatever time you want and expect it to be stable thus the "try this!" function of the bios which runs it as a test first. And there's diminishing benefits after a certain point

You, and all but a couple commentators, understand precisely zero about how this works and think some magic single stat you found means anything

Yet you, or anyone, can't post a single example of anything I've said that's wrong. Yes regale us all with your tales about a product you haven't had years of experience with! Or any for that matter

Tell me you know zero about this subject without saying you know zero about this subject

It isn't hard. It is just some aegis ram ffs lmao! No need to be scurred Peace

No, I've just read through your last 10 responses and would rather not talk to a brick wall.

But either way, you can keep believing what you want. If it suits you, more power to you. None of this matters to most anyone on Slickdeals anyways.

Yeah. Thought so laugh out loud

All talk lol
You just keep going. I can't tell if it's a running troll or if you are really trying to say something here.

Either way it's all good, I understand the need for attention.

Have fun and Goodluck!

Good luck being able to ever admit when you're wrong!

I smell only child. The level of coddling involved here must have been massive. Zero accountability. Must be darn nice to just spout nonsense without having to ever back it up lol

Applause
You can stop describing yourself, it's going to be alright. <3

2666MHZ at CL19 guaranteed is still "yikes!" range. But the I did just pay more than $90 for 16GB, 3200mhz at CL14... The board I'd peg in the $60 range in better times.

So, I think this is an OK deal if someone wants to make Photoshop box where quantity is more important than RAM quality.

Quote from mickybluesb :
That 2660mhz memory compared to a 3200 or 3600 is gonna be a 5-10% performance fail. Is it worth saving a few bucks over that?
I don't disagree, but the answer depends on budget. Is it a few bucks or a couple of hundred? I could easily justify this cost, plus maybe another hundred or so for a processor, and put it into my old HTPC as a quick (significant) upgrade. How much more would I be spending to get a similar setup with 3600 mhz ram?

Nah. Just more laymen on this site who don't know how absolute latency and clock timing work

Ppl like you always pick flashing RGB lights and shiny chrome ram over actually bothering to figure out how to set your ram up or whether it's even benefiting you



Oh look there's one now. Yes review the product you have zero hands on experience with and make up fake labels. As is the SD way!

Edit: this is sarcasm btw it isn't hard but it sounds hard af. Not gonna lie. See below for instructions. And also he's alleging falsely there's a compatibility issue
Don't try to rationalize with children, you'll just waste time.
