Summary: According Linus tests higher speed RAM does not make difference for gaming, he also mentions it will not really benefit desktop enviroments much but more important rather for servers.

But here moderator :



So in short if your GPU and CPU are not the bottleneck, you can think of squeezing a bit more performance for multitasking by getting higher frequency RAM.

Been reading some forum discussions that haswell overclocking does not deal well with high frequency RAM, if the choice higher CPU overclock > RAM overclock?

PS: Does overclocking CPU stop XMP from working properly and you have to manually calibrate RAM?

Thanks :pt1cable:

You'll note that he doesn't say antyhing about games using the extra RAM bandwidth. Personally, I don't think that there's much point buying anything faster than DDR3-1600 or maybe 1866.

I'd go for a CPU overclock instead of high freq. RAM any day, but it depends what you're doing. In some cases a balanced approach is a good idea.

I don't think that CPU OCs affect XMP, though some of the profiles aren't necessarily going to work properly if you're running the chip right at the limits.
