Do RAM Speeds Affect AMD Ryzen 3 2200G's Performance?

I've been looking into getting some new RAM for my AMD Ryzen 3 2200G build and was wondering if anyone has any recommendations. Does RAM speed really impact performance that much?

It can, but it depends on the type of tasks you're doing. For gaming, faster RAM like Corsair Vengeance LPX 3600 MHz DDR4 or Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 2933 MHz DDR4 can make a difference. There's an article about this at Best RAM for the AMD Ryzen 3 2200G CPU.

Oh, I didn't know that! Thanks for the info. So would you recommend the 3600 MHz one for gaming?

Yeah, the Corsair Vengeance LPX 3600 MHz DDR4 can be a great choice if you're into gaming and need some extra speed. It's compatible with your Ryzen 3 2200G too.

Awesome! That's really helpful. Thanks for the recommendation.

Just keep in mind that it's not just about the MHz, but also other factors like timings and voltage. You'll want to find a balance between speed and reliability.

I've been using the Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 2933 MHz DDR4 with my Ryzen 3 2200G for a while now and it's been working great for me in gaming. I haven't noticed any major difference between 2933 MHz and 3600 MHz, though.

That's good to know! So maybe the 2933 MHz one isn't too shabby either. Thanks!

It really depends on your specific use case and budget. Both options are solid choices for an AMD Ryzen 3 2200G build.

True, there's no one-size-fits-all answer to RAM speeds and gaming performance. It ultimately comes down to personal preference and what you're comfortable with.

Alright, I'll do some more research and see which one suits me best. Thanks for all the advice, everyone!

No problem! Good luck with your build!
