Question / Help Just bought 16GB more RAM (32gb total now) still same score in Cinebench (1727) 2700X processor

I just bought 16 gig more RAM (32gb total now). I still get the same score in Cinebench (1727) as i had with 16 GB. ( i have 4 x 8 gb of ram now (Kingston HyperX Fury HX421C14FBK2/16 x 2 ) I overclocked the RAM to 3000 mhz. Timers are 18-18-18-36 voltage 1.390
I spend 100 bucks on it. I bought the RAM hoping OBS will run smoother.
I have a 2700x processor. I just found out the 2700x only runs Dual Channel. Quad Channel is not supported.

I am thinking now about selling the 16 GB ram. But im not sure if OBS is happy with the new ram. If Cinebench dont care about the new RAM does OBS? How can i test this?

Do i need to enable something in my ASROCK X370 Gaming X motherboard? (It has the latest bios)

I run a dual PC setup.

Gaming PC:
CPU: I7-6700K 4.6 GHz
Memory: 16 GB RAM
GPU: GeForce GTX 1060 6GB

Streaming PC:
CPU: AMD 2700X 3.7Ghz
GPU: GeForce GTX 1050 4GB
Memory: 32 GB RAM
Elgato HD 60 PRO


I normally run SLOBS but for the log file i used the latest OBS: https://obsproject.com/logs/3EaF52q-On5UeDFb

Simply more RAM has no impact on fps. It is as if you buy a car with a bigger luggage compartment: you can carry more, but the speed of the car is the same, because the engine is the same.

You can check if you need more RAM if you use Windows task manager. Go the the second tab and check the memory usage while you run your most memory-hungry apps. If you see the RAM in use growing near the amount of physical RAM, you might think about buying more RAM (usually not only then), but on a streaming PC with somewhat constant RAM demand, you will see no usage spikes.

More RAM is different to faster RAM. Some RAM and RAM configurations have better performance than others, but it has to be carefully considered and verified with the mainboard manual and the CPU manual if you have the option of benefit of other RAM. Faster RAM is not automatically used in a faster way, it also has to be supported by mainboard and CPU and sometimes activated in BIOS.

Tnx koala. The main thing i was mistaken is the Quad Channel support that isnt there on a 2700x.
Task manager says i use like 8 gig of ram while streaming. so the extra ram is useless.
I just put the ram back online. gonna sell it with a 10 euro loss. hopefully fast.
