Using oracle vm for umbrel. My specs were
8gb ram with 4x2gb ram sticks 1330mhz
I5 2.67ghz
SSD with SATA (cant use nvme on my motherboard)
The sync really started slowing down because of bigger blocks. So i upgraded my 4x2gb ram sticks and added 2 4gb 1600mhz ram sticks so total is 12gb (8gb from the new 2 sticks and 4gb from the old 2 sticks)
I just bought another 2 sticks of 4gb 1600mhz ram. Is it worth it to install the newest 2 sticks, I stopped the sync a few times already and had no issues, is it worth it to stop again to add another set of 2 1600mhz 4gb sticks ? At about 90 percent sync now.
Hey @saeir
I wouldn’t add the RAM right now since you’re already at 90 percent. Stopping the sync again always carries a small risk of database issues, especially if it happens during a write.
Just let it finish safely and upgrade the RAM afterward. 12GB is plenty to get through the rest, and the extra RAM will still be useful later on.
