**AMD 5700 X3D Owners CLub**
- Thread starter something daft already!!
- Start date
I had a look earlier and personally I would go for the Team Group 8Pack RIPPED Edition 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-28800C14 that's linked.
CL14 vs CL18 would give a more noticeable difference although hard to say now with X3D.
Cost per frame the Corsair kit may be the better option (just guessing here really), but trying to get the most out of AM4 on a sensible budget I'd spend the extra £15 for the peace of mind (if it were in stock...)

Go with what fits your use case and budget, X3D doesn't benefit significantly with higher RAM MT/s (ie MHz) and low latency. The 5800X3D HUB review , check game FPS results, another video by HUB link. You'll find plenty of owners shares on say Reddit r/AMD also echoing that.
1000 series was Samsung B die, 2000 series again was Samsung B die, by 3000 series there were plenty of options.
IMO some times choosing which RAM IC to go for is not about what MT/s and timings the RAM IC reaches. I went through several sets of DDR4 RAM when tinkering with Ryzen AM4 1000/2000/3000/5000 and Threadripper 1000/2000. I kept a set of Micron E, as they were less temperature sensitive then Samsung B die. I did keep a set of Samsung B die as well, for differing reasons.
So save your £ by getting the RAM kit that fits your needs, use the saved £ for some other piece of hardware you may actually see better benefit or save £ for future hardware.

Well mine arrived yesterday bang on eta.
Amazing a company in the far flung comer of the world can ship to me in NI for free, while most mainland UK companies can’t/won’t or charge a fortune (relatively speaking) to deliver here.
Anyway, dipstick me didn’t think to order up more coolant to refill my loop so will probably be next weekend before I get to switch over. It’s probably sad that at almost 50 years of age that still upsets me as I’m itching to get it installed and have a tinker. What’s worse is it’s going to be bottle necked to buggery anyway until I upgrade my gpu (vega64)
