Review on 🎮 Enhance Your Gaming Performance with PNY XLR8 Gaming Epic-X RGB DDR4 3200MHz Desktop Memory RAM – 16GB (2x8GB)" by Tim Hollins

So I got awesome 3200 and 4000 and 4000 RAM when I was using 10th gen Intel. However, I had to go back to 3200 when I upgraded to 11th Gen, and here's why: With 11th Gen came first and second gear memory controller speeds that were a 1:1 and 1:2 ratio, respectively to have. So with an 11th gen i7 that supports 3200, it will only run at a controller speed of 1600, which is the Gear 1's 1:1 ratio. That's right, because DDR is duplicate data, so will the controllers -speed multiplied by 2, 11th gen Intel will switch to transfer mode 2, which means the controller will run at half speed, and trying to force transfer may be good to prevent booting. So instead of running at 4000 Hz with a controller frequency of 2000, it's actually running at 4000 Hz with a controller frequency of 1000. This is significantly slower than a 1 3200 transmission, and there are many comparison videos that have about 10 percent frame drops in show games.... Choose carefully for best performance. 3600 or even 5000 may sound fantastic, but the actual CPU RAM controller speed is only 900 or 1250 respectively.
