Hello all,
I am new to this forum so I am sorry if I am not following the appropriate rules, etiquette, and such.
I've come here because I need help deciding which RAM to buy for my Desktop and I'm considering buying some new RAM sticks for my Laptop too.
My Desktop is a Dell Inspiron 5675 (AKA a prebuilt). I have 2x16GB 2400MHz DDR4 G.Skill RAM right now because I thought that was the fastest RAM speed my motherboard supported but I read in a Dell forum that someone bought 2666MHz RAM and it worked on this MOBO because the JEDEC SPD was set to 2666MHz although the XMP profile was 3200MHz. My Desktop does achieve 2400MHz according to benchmarks and CPU-Z. I'm running and AMD rig with a Ryzen 7 1700.
Can I get some help in buying the best possible RAM for my Desktop?
Also I've got 2x8GB 2400MHz G.Skill RAM in my Laptop right now and I only get 2133 MHz from it unfortunately.
Should I return it and get only what my MOBO can support, not bother with it anymore, or should I test out a different SODIMM RAM which might run faster on my Laptop? My userbenchmark keeps saying my RAM is severely underperforming (probably because it won't run at 2400MHz) and it drives me crazy because I'm quite sure my Laptop isn't capable of XMP settings.
It's got integrated graphics and a two-core i5-6200U.
Thank you!
