Should I upgrade my RAM?

[MetalheadTiger]

Does 2400Mhz CL14 RAM bottleneck Ryzen 5 3600 and GTX 980 FE? I have two sticks of HyperX Fury 8 GB DDR4 2400Mhz CL14 (HX424C15FB2/8) RAM. Given that my CPU has enough L3 cache and that good timing lower freq. RAM tends to beat bad timing higher freq. RAM. Can I try to OC it to 2666Mhz at the cost of timings?

if you can't replace the sticks with higher frequency, i would suggest to keep tighter latency. OC always causes some kind of stability issues in older Ryzens or even current Ryzens.

You're not going to see any perceivable difference in performance going to 2666Mhz. Keep the tighter timings.

Alright then

You'd only see a visible difference between 2400 and maybe 3200.
