RYZEN DDR4 MEMORY, WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW!

It will work but you will need to setup the memory manual in the BIOS, so set it at 3000MHz, set basic cas timings and set voltage to 1.35v. See how it goes, if it does not run drop to 2400MHz and work up from there, though the Asrock's are performing very well indeed. They are like the wolf in sheeps clothing.
Yeah I'm starting to see that, hadn't really looked into DDR4 but it seems not a single manufacturer is making non-ECC VLP kits yet

@Gibbo
I'm going to get 32GB of RAM to go with my Ryzen build. I wanted to know whether 2x high density is preferred over 4x lower density with Ryzen? As i want to get the most out of the RAM.
TIA
EDIT: Sorry, just seen the response above.
Thanks.

assuming i dont know how to do any of what u just said (and i dont) should i just go for 2666 to get it up and running with no tinkering?It will work but you will need to setup the memory manual in the BIOS, so set it at 3000MHz, set basic cas timings and set voltage to 1.35v.

Hi there
Just to help educate a little.
Ryzen is compatible with all current DDR4 memory and officially supports upto 3600MHz.
However the sweet spot is 2400-2666MHz, this speed will work with all mainboards including cheaper options.
3000MHz and above will ONLY work at such frequencies in the flagship mainboards like Asus Crosshair for example and even then the maximum stable speed we achieve with a lot of messing around was 3200MHz, which really makes 3000MHz the maximum speed we advise.
Of course you could buy 3200 or even 3600 kit now, and just run it at a lower frequency with more aggressive CAS Timings and as BIOS updates come out then you might be able to achieve higher frequency.
As such we recommend 2400-3000MHz kits for use with Ryzen, faster kits will work just fine but you might have to run them below the rated speed and just set the memory timings more aggressive.
Thanks, that's really useful information. You should make it a sticky

I am stuck on choosing between the above two..... and my memory choice is

flagship motherboard eh?
What about this one, it will do up too 3200 mhz ram mhz speed.

As a general rule of thumb you want to be looking at the next obtainable ratio downward from the maximum speed quoted. Gibbo's advice is sound. This isn't like overclocking we've been used to with Intel platforms recently, and can be cantankerous to say the least.

Right, i want the best possible speed Memory, so whats the consensus on which motherboard will support that? And is there much difference between the B and X models? im going single card, so leaning towards B, with the thoughts that the cPU's dont OC very well if at all, so im prob going 1800X straight up to get the best possible speed / Cores.
Problem i have is which Motherboard is going to offer the best Ram support, i want a minimum of 3000mhz, on a B350 if possible?

Do the AMD boards/bios support the auto-configuration of memory - XMP ??
Been a long time since I've been in the AMD fold and I cannot remember if it will work - e.g. its largely a BIOS function but may need some support from the chipset too but I would sort of expect it to work (and I've not found any downloadable manuals for x370 boards yet).

Yes, its called AMP. Might need to dig in the bios as you say but I imagine thats where the OC profiles for the higher end boards are coming from.

Gibbo dude, l have 2 sets of this, l am assuming this will be ok for:
GA-AB350-Gaming 3 AMD B350 (Socket AM4) DDR4 ATX Motherboard
Or
MSI
B350M Gaming Pro AMD B350 (Socket AM4) DDR4 Micro ATX Motherboard
Trying to keep the cost down so it slides under the wife's radar

You've done the pre-orders a massive favour
Prob most info buyers will get till the 2nd hehe

*cough* Gaming 3, should be good up to 2667hz in thoery, but easier to play it safe

The two 32GB kits should work fine assuming you want to keep to those speeds.

Cheers SC, aye the cost of DDR4 these days means l will be keeping the 4 sticks for a while.
