I’m currently debating whether to go 8gb or 16gb of ram. I know that 8gb of ram is currently considered enough for gaming and 16gb would be more for those who do heavy editing. However I feel that with a cost of 50$ more, it isn’t that much more money if it really helps to future proof myself even if I will mainly game with the rig.
Now the main questions that I’m wondering are the differences between 1600mhz and 2400mhz. Will I notice a difference between 1600mhz and 2400mhz in performance and will that difference depend on what my other parts are? If so, what parts do I need in order to notice a difference between these two speeds? Will 2400mhz put more stress (run hotter) over 1600mhz?
Also, can having that additional 8gb cause more stress on the MC (memory controller) or any additional stress at all? Can having that extra 8gb of ram possibly put more stress on the cpu, motherboard, psu?
That’s all the questions I have for now, thanks in advance if anyone could answer these questions.
