Desktop Memory (RAM) — DDR5 & DDR4

RAM is your PC's short-term memory — it holds the games, apps and files your system is actively using. More capacity lets you multitask and run demanding titles smoothly, while faster memory can lift frame rates, especially on AMD Ryzen builds.

Two standards are in use: DDR5 on current AMD AM5 and Intel LGA 1851 platforms, and DDR4 on older AM4 and LGA 1700 boards. Your motherboard and CPU decide which you need — they aren't interchangeable. Match capacity and speed to how you use your PC.

Evetech stocks DDR5 and DDR4 kits from leading brands, with EXPO and XMP profiles for easy one-click speed. All come with local warranty and fast nationwide delivery — compare kits below and pick the right memory for your build.

How to Choose RAM

The right memory comes down to your platform, how much you need, and the speed your system supports. Use the guide below to choose.

Your motherboard and CPU decide. Current AM5 and LGA 1851 builds use DDR5; older AM4 and LGA 1700 systems use DDR4. They're not cross-compatible, so check your platform before buying.
16GB is the comfortable minimum for gaming; 32GB is the sweet spot for gaming plus streaming or multitasking; 64GB+ suits heavy content creation. Buy a matched kit rather than mixing single sticks.
Faster RAM and tighter timings help performance, especially on Ryzen. Enable the EXPO (AMD) or XMP (Intel) profile in BIOS to run the rated speed — without it, RAM defaults to slower speeds.
Install RAM in matched pairs to enable dual-channel mode, which noticeably improves performance over a single stick. Use the motherboard's recommended slots (usually slots 2 and 4).
Check your motherboard's supported speeds and capacity, and buy a single matched kit for guaranteed compatibility. Mixing different kits can cause instability or lower speeds.
