RAM upgrade for I7-10700K

Intel@hardware.watchEnglish · 1 year ago

Thinking of getting new RAM for i7-10700k currently I have HyperX Predator 2x8 3200MHz. And I’m thinking of getting 2x16 kit for coding/virtual machines, gaming although I’m not sure which speed should I get, my motherboard is ASUS Z-490PLUS and it supports up to 4600MHz. Although, I’ve read some posts and some suggest getting 3600MHz or is it better to get faster RAM like 4000/4400/4600 to future-proof my PC?

I would personally wouldn’t go over 3600. You could even just stick with 3200, its still fast, and really cheap right now.
