New to PC building and have a question about upgrading the ram in my Predator Orion 5000 (PO5-610)
Hello all! I have owned my PO5-610 for around 4 years now and am looking to do some upgrading to the computer (desktop btw for all taht dont know it). This is the first time I am looking to upgrade my computer (besides adding storage but that was a while ago and i had help with that).
. In that link it says “To ensure data integrity, use only Acer-approved DDR4 2400 MHz or DDR4 2666 MHZ type memory modules.” As you can see it specifies 2400 MHz and 2666 MHz but does not say anything about 3200 MHz. I went to the crucial website any types in my pc build and it showed me compatible ram. The Crucial 32Gb Kit (2x 16Gb) DDR4-3200 UDIMM popped up as one of the compatible options.
I need to upgrade my ram as i currently have 16Gb and it is hitting 98% while gaming with an idle of 41%-43%. Im looking to boost the ram up to 64gb (the max i read that this computer could handle) using 4x 16gb ram sticks. Here is the link that shows that info:https://www.crucial.com/memory/ddr4/ct2k16g4dfra32a/ct18671448
My question is should I go with the 3200MHz because crucial is saying its compatible or should i only but 2666MHz because that is what the manual is saying. My thoughts are maybe the manual is outdated and 3200MHz was not an option back then but again im new to computer parts so im not too sure.
Any Insight is Much Appreciated.
