Wich ram is faster for games?

Petar Raickovic · Nov 27, 2015

Ok so i have done Ram memory benchmark in aida64, I have buyed new 2x4 DDR3 kingston hyper x 1866, well i have problem when they are solo in mobo i cant run in bios but mine pc works fine ( i have some restarts dont know why i have done prime and aida64 for aorund 10 mins no restarts but when i surf on the Tom's hardware ) or youtube generaly internet my pc just restarts with BSOD ( windows 10 ) updated all drivers etc.. Well but when i put mine old 2x2 DDR3 Kingston Hpyer x 1600mhz Mine pc works just fine no restarts and i can enter bios normaly, So i mostly play games and i dont know wich is faster ? this is first test with 12gb ram 2x2 old and 2x4 new.... Pc is stable, http://postimg.org/image/gak0kjy8j/ . And this is with only new ram ( cant enter bios and pc is unstable ) http://postimg.org/image/8oon5ozm1/. So i just need to know wich is better for gaming ? or is there anything to solve problem with 2x4 to be stable and enter bios?

I have overclocked AMD processor and memory.
You get a bigger effect by overclocking your processor than you get from more memory speed.
If your new memory is unstable, probably best to go back to your old memory. Will save you a lot of hassle for small performance improvement.

Well i dont have Aftermarket cooling to overclock it above 3600 mhz to be stable, I need more then 4gb ram coz the games i play. Well with 12gb ram my pc is stable but i dont know is it fast like with 8gb newer ram ? i did 3D mark and score was 6543 with 12gb ram, With 8gb was 6573, but i think in games the FPS is lover by much with 12gb ram

sounds like your pc is not stable with faster memory.
with all 12GB, your memory will automatically set to the speed of the slowest memory.

As to why it is not stable - could be a lot of reasons. When I overclocked my AMD to 4GHz it took weeks of messing around with speeds and voltages to get everything to work reliably

Well now 12gb work on 1600 Mhz, And mine pc is stable..... And it's stable with 3.6 Oced.... But when i switch to only 8gb 1866 i cant enter bios and mine PC BSOD randomly.. I have found on Gigabyte site that mine memory isnt supported by mobo... But then how is it working ? gigabyte 790fxta ud5

In my experience(and I've seen a lot of Youtube videos and articles on it to back it up) the speed or model of the ram doesn't make as much of a difference as its amount. Even then if you have just above the needed amount to play a game it'll be as fast as if you had 10 times that amount of RAM.

More RAM basically allows you to have more programs running and windows open at the same time.

Yeah i know that about ram

. Well thanks mine pc is stable for now and i will keep 12gb of ram... Anyway i will change Mobo and Cpu soon it's getting old

Phenom 965 form 2009

Your CPU is a 965, it was the first to reliably run 1600, for 1866 will take additional adjustments

Hey we are talking on private. Yeah i figure out that i cant run 1866 on 965... But i have downclocked to 1333 mhz ram memory and i have overclocked my CPU to 3.7 stable so i think it's better to overclock my cpu then ram... But i will try settup that u have told me with solo 2x4 RAM
