In this part of the video, Adam Steiner discusses a technical issue he encountered while testing system memory performance with different RAM configurations on a Ryzen system. Transitioning from two sticks to four sticks of RAM caused a memory check failure, BIOS reset, and boot issues on his ASRock B450M Pro4 motherboard. By adjusting the RAM frequency settings in the BIOS, he found that the motherboard could only handle a frequency of 2733MHz with four sticks of RAM. This issue was specific to his G.Skill RAM, highlighting a limitation in the motherboard’s handling of RAM frequencies.

In this segment of the video, the content creator compares the performance of a 2×8 RAM kit versus a 4×4 RAM kit at 3200 megahertz. They discover that the motherboard quality may affect performance and switch to a higher-end motherboard, the ASRock Taichi. By adjusting XMP profiles, they were able to run the RAM at 3000 megahertz with no issues. The creator suggests that if you have a lower-end motherboard and are considering upgrading RAM, it might be more beneficial to opt for two 8GB sticks rather than adding to existing 4GB sticks. They advise viewers to consider motherboard compatibility before buying additional RAM and suggest checking return policies. The video concludes with a reminder to like, comment, and subscribe.
