Motherboard Help
February 10th, 2020
I have the As Rock N68C-GS FX motherboard and ive just been looking online i currently have 8gb ddr3 1600 mhz and was thinking about putting an extra 8 to make it 16gb but looking on the internet it says something about 8gb does this mean its the max amount of ram it will take ? and i cant put anymore than 8gb inside ?

thought id ask because if you cant might aswell save my money
NEVER MIND GUYS ONLY SUPPORTS UP TO 8GB WITH IT BEING AN OLD BOARD BUT TAKES UP TO 8 CORE AM3+ FX STRANGE YOU WOULD OF THOUGHT IT WOULD TAKE MORE THAN 8GB DDR3 IF IT SUPPORTS SUCH A UP TO DATE CPU
You won’t really see any performance gains, will make the OS boot slower as more crap is loaded into the memory.
Unless you have an SSD.
i was thinking of upgrading from a quad core to a 6 core
is it worth it ? or again not much difference ?

Without knowing more details, I can’t answer that!
Which exact CPUs are you referring to? Which graphic card do you have?
And what are you gonna be doing?
Certain apps and games can benefit from more cores.
Also, In some cases a better CPU can give you more FPS in certain games.

I know the OP has already gotten his answer (Mobo can’t handle more than 8 gigs)
But nevertheless I’d still like to comment what on you said (Which is complete nonsense btw!)
RAM usage is determined by the OS and the Apps/Games you run after it has loaded.
Just because you add additional RAM, It does NOT mean that out of nowhere, Usage will
go higher! And also, As long as the RAM is not fully utilized, There’s no performance penalty (Once that happens, Windows starts using the pagefile, aka “virtual memory”) and there’s certainly
no correlation between the RAM amount or usage to whether you have an SSD or not.
An SSD will certainly increase the performance of the OS and Apps, But again, It’s unrelated
to the RAM.
