The Ultimate RAM Guide for Gamers in 2020-21

1. The Ultimate RAM Guide for Gamers in 2020-21

2. Designing your first ideal computer system is a daunting task. Especially, finding parts to help assemble your computer can be overwhelming. Often the most effort is spent on selecting which processor and graphic card, knowing your RAM is just as significant. If you have high-quality RAM, it can help your games load faster, shortening the time you spend waiting for it to load. Having spare RAM is key when on apps like Google Chrome or social media. Initially, start by learning everything about RAM. HyperX manufactures top-quality RAM but first, we need to know what RAM is.

3. Random-Access Memory (RAM), stores data temporarily to make it readily available without the need to access the larger hard drive, which is slower. A larger RAM allows more concurrent processes allowing you to open more applications or play games which demand more resources. A system with 8GB RAM would be able to store less than a system with 16GB RAM. The amount of RAM isn’t the only factor to consider, RAM modules come in various speeds and generations.

4. Today there are 2 generations of DDR RAM readily manufactured on the market, DDR3 and DDR4. The generation number is significant as the newer DDR4 Memory Cards from BuyKingston is more advanced than its predecessor (DDR3). There are significant differences, DDR4 utilizes lower voltages, has more pins, runs at higher speeds, and is more efficient. In terms of cost, DDR4 is slightly more costly than the DDR3 version of the same specification. 

5. Remember DDR3 and DDR4 both have different connections so it’s important to check the compatibility of your motherboard. The generation of RAM that is supported will be stated in the manual or a quick online search will reveal the required details. Despite DDR3 being older it remains current for many systems. In the upcoming years, less DDR3 systems will be manufactured as DDR4 will take over entirely. The best option for future planning would be to buy a DDR4 system. As you notice these small changes, more DDR4 motherboards will become common.

6. HyperX Predator HX430C16PB3K4/128 128GB Give your AMD- or Intel-based system the performance needed to stay atop the food chain with the record-breaking1, ultra-fast HyperX Predator DDR42. Boost your frame rate, keep your streams broadcasting smooth, and plow through your highlight reel editing with speeds up to 4800MHz paired with quick CL12–CL19 timings. The aggressive, stylish black heat spreader and matching black PCB will allow you to beat the heat and strike fear into the hearts of your foes.

7. RAM modules are installed into slots on motherboards, most of whom have four slots, although some high-end gaming systems have eight. Single module's capacities range from 4GB-32GB, as they work better in pairs they are often sold as kits of two or four. The minimum RAM size we’d recommend for a high-end gaming system is 16GB (two 8GB modules). However, if you are planning on running several apps in the background you should consider at least 32GB or higher.
