AMD Zen 2 (Ryzen 3000) - *** NO COMPETITOR HINTING ***

We have chips.

You're making me hungry

Early days I know but do you think that 8Pack B-die kit MY-08L-TG is going to be any good with the X570 boards?

Probably going to wait for the 16C anyway but it would be nice if my existing RAM kit was up to the task.

 

[Gibbo]

But what is standard mem freq?

Depends on what memory kit you buy. Buy a cheap 2400MHz kit and expect 2400MHz and maybe a small OC.

Buy decent memory kits where they used better binned IC’s day from likes of 8 Pack, G.Skill and some very impressive RAM overclocks are possible, a huge leap on from the X470 !

Also the new gen4 M.2 SSD’s from Gigabyte and Corsair are seriously quick in X570, 5000mb/s read and write.

Yes Samsung B-Die, Samsung C-Die and Micron E-Die are the IC’s of choice for 4000MHz plus memory frequencies and of course you need a good X570 mainboard like the Asrock Taichi for example.

I’m saying no more!

All I will say is damn X570 can hit some mental memory clocks, 4000+ is easy with decent memory.

@Gibbo

That's good news.

Speaking of decent memory, I've been looking at the 32GB (2x16GB) offerings in the OcUK shop and they are pretty slim. OcUK is competitive with 2x8GB kits and somewhat with 4x8GB kits but has no 2x16GB kits faster than 3200 until you hit £320 for Trident Z 3600 C17 whereas the competition does have some 3466 C16 between £200 and £300 for example. Will you be looking to source more fast 2x16GB kits in preparation for the Zen 2 launch?

Cheers Gibbo. I shall definitely be making a more informed choice of X570 board than I did X470.

Looks like I’ll have the luxury of time to research too if the 16C chips don’t see the light of day for some time yet.

We will look for more but our focus for overclocking is 8 Pack and G.Skill as they tend to be the best.

I’ll look into 2x16 generic 3200 kits and above.

 

[Perfect_Chaos]

So people are gonna just buy any RAM even when we haven't even seen the QVL lists for boards yet?

Nice, would be great for the 2x16GB £200-300 range to be filled with more options rather than the jump from 3200 C16 at £200 to 3600 C17 at £320. Cheers, Gibbo.

Or get lucky.

How can You do this to me and say MENTAL MEMORY CLOCKS that's My summer gone playing fantastic game called Memtest followed by Ramtest and TestMem. What a fantastic trilogy that is.

shiet just hit me. Maybe You could get some bundle with 8pack ram going like Buy 8pack memory get free Memtest Pro ??

Now i moved from interested to Hyped !!! Just hope my Teamgroup can get better than 3600cl14 i got on Zen+ :]
ps. Tomorrow all tech press news quoting You incoming like always hahahahah

As in only x570 can hit mental memory clocks?

 

[Random Guy Esq.]

Might be time I learned how to overclock memory

I'm feeling lucky... 8Pack 4000MHz RAM probably helps. What's life without a few (small) risks?

Edit: Btw do you guys never sleep?!

We are in Asia so 6-7hr ahead time difference.

I did have my suspicions Looking forward to seeing what goodies you come back with!

 

[Captain]

load of crap, nones had a chip to play with yet,

Of course they have, more than you think.

 

[Yaayuh!]

I don’t think I’ve ever paid any attention to the QVL.

I already have a few sets of 4000Mhz GSkill b-die, so I’m set

Never really needed QVL outside of business applications. Though did have one IT Tech who was mad I put some non-QVL memory (which would have cost 2-4x as much) in an out of warranty ACER once. He was so mad he rang me up and yelled at me for 20 mins. He then ordered some of the QVL stuff (even though it was working fine with the corsair stuff I'd used) and I got a call 2 months later after it failed. Re-installed the Corsair stuff and it was cool for another 2yrs. So yeah QVL is really great...
