Hello all
I just ordered a Asus ROG Zenith Extreme MB and am trying to figure out which memory to buy that is amongst its approved lists by whoever, and at least for the brand I am pretty set on going with G.Skill and preferably the Flare X line as I don't need any light stuff.
All in all if I could have my way I would love to load up all its banks with 128GB of 3200MHz -14CL memory and be done with it, but for anything like that in the speeds/specs of that amount if someone even does make it I don't think any are approved for this board as far as I know, but even if there was I am sure could never even remotely afford it.
So sadly I think for now I am stuck with either 32GB of the F4-3200C14Q-32GFX kit which is listed to be able to run on this board @ 3200MHz, or the 64GB of the F4-2933C14Q-64GFX kit which is listed to run at a lower speed of 2933MHz.
So was just wondering about anyone's thoughts as to which will perform better?
In other words, will I do better with less Gigs of RAM that run at a little higher speed, or with twice the amount of physical RAM at a little bit slower speed?
Note, without making a long list of the whys, I am pretty sure a lot of what I will be doing with this machine will be looking to use its memory well, but again is hard to know if it running a bit faster with less would be better, or the more at a little slower would.
Also to note if its of any relevance, will be running a air cooled Threadripper 1950X for the processor, a Samsung 960 PRO M.2 512GB for the main OS drive and Windows 10 Pro for the OS all in a Corsair 750D Air case and for the most part I am hoping to do as mim OC of all things as I might need to.
Thanks for any help.
