AsBakedAsCake 179 Share Posted October 30, 2017 (edited) So Im looking to install more DDR4 Ram, all I'm wondering is: If I install more ram, can it be any brand as long as it is DDR4? [Looking to install an extra 8 GB] Or do I have to make sure its compatible with other computer components?

dQw4w9WgXcQ 184 Share Posted October 30, 2017 (edited) needs to be the same frequency, can be any brand well, doesnt need to be the same, but they will run at the speed of the slowest one so its recommended.

Manly 878 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Sometimes a motherboard cannot support all RAM chips. AsBakedAsCake 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsBakedAsCake 179 Author Share Posted October 30, 2017 (edited) Also in my AMD settings it says I have GDDR5 memory: https://gyazo.com/1fd5c2a57559d849070b6e8341849521 Is this the same as ram? Because someone who worked on my computer already said I had DDR4 Ram and an RX470 even though it says there I have an RX480. Just tryna not order the wrong thing, and i've been wondering about the graphics card for a while anyways. Thanks guys Edited October 30, 2017 by AsBakedAsCake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
