Is there any benefit with getting ram with a higher clock speed

signupwithgugl · Feb 2, 2018

The reason I want to know is that I am purchasing my build pretty soon. I am building a coffee lake build, and the motherboard is the Asus Maximus x Code

Is there any notable difference between, say, the 3200mhz version, and the 3600mhz version of the Corsair Vengeance RGB 16GB DDR4 memory.

Any reply is appreciated!

Specs:
i7 8700k
Asus Maximus x Code
Asus Strix 1080ti OC edition
Corsair h115i
Corsair hx750i (750w)
Corsair vengeance RGB 2x8gb 3200 (atm)

the i7-8700K can handle according Intel web site: https://ark.intel.com/products/126684/Intel-Core-i7-8700K-Processor-12M-Cache-up-to-4_70-GHz
is DDR4-2666.

You motherboard states it can do much faster: DDR4 4133(O.C.)/4000(O.C.)/3866(O.C.)/3733(O.C.)/3600(O.C.)/3466(O.C.)/3400(O.C.)/3333(O.C.)/3300(O.C.)/3200(O.C.)/3000(O.C.)/2800(O.C.)/2666(O.C.)/2400(O.C.)/2133 MHz Non-ECC, Un-buffered Memory **https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/ROG-MAXIMUS-X-CODE/specifications/

newer cpu run better with faster ram to a point. there was a article a few years back about ddr3 ram from 1600 speed to 3000 speed. the pc did run better to a point then the extra money went to waste. on the two rams your looking at the speed between them is very small. your better off going with the cheaper slower ram using the money for larger ssd or faster nvd drives. or faster gpu or one with more ram.
