8pack RAM Ryzen

sativa · 8 Sep 2017 at 09:39

I have a stable overclock on a 1700, at 3.8Ghz but only 8Gb Corsair is installed.

I am looking at moving to 16Gb and selling the 8Gb.

I guess the 8pack modules will provide a 'more stable' overclock, with tighter timings. And possibly I could clock further?

Basically, yeah, that's the point of the @8 Pack packs

See these threads for some of the testing he's been doing to see what they can get to, vs what other brands are handling:

Should they work in a B350 board out of the packet, or will a BIOS update be needed?

Plug and play usually, might have to enable XMP.

32gb testing on ASUS Prime Plus B350

16gb testing on ASUS Prime Plus B350. Working totally fine just enable DOCP in Bios which is basically XMP.

Great, I will check my wallet over the weekend!

I bought a set off the back of 8Packs reccommendation. Dropped straight in and worked perfectly. Worth spending that bit more for guaranteed quality.

I went from 2933 c16 with corsair lpx 3200 to 3466 c15 with the 8 pack 3200 memory on the same asus ch6 motherboard.

Corsair tend to use Hynix ram which does not perform as well on Ryzen.

Installed last night - no issues (remember to clear CMOS!). Straight out the packet, 3200MHz and tight timings. Look slick too.

You know you have to try for 3333 right?
