Best 2 x 16Gb RAM for a 5950X

[HRL]

Looking for some B-die for a new 5950X build.

Got to be 2 x 16Gb sticks but what’s the fastest and tightest RAM I can get away with on a Strix X570-F Gaming mobo?

Loved the 8Pack kit I’ve used for 2 years on my 2700X but I’m a little out of touch with RAM right now but gather the new Ryzen’s love good RAM as much as Zen+.

Anyone able to confirm if these are about as good as it gets for the Ryzen 5###’s?

I can see a few 4 x 8Gb packs but my understanding has always been unless you needed quad channel RAM, you were always better off getting two sticks only, if only for stability when overclocking. Is that no longer true?

Well I’ve had 3200/14 running at almost 3300 for the past two years on a 2700X so I certainly don’t want something slower.

Just want to do the same with something suitable for a 5950X and not 100% sure that the sticks I linked to earlier are the correct ones or not.

Well I’ve scoured high and low and can’t find these or something similar anywhere.

Anyone ever spotted these in the wild? Or an OCUK equivalent?

Just want to make sure I’m getting the best RAM I can for my new 5950X build.

Any suggestions please?

Money is burning a hole in my pocket but don’t want to buy the wrong product.

Not what you want to hear but waiting is a solid option until prices and supply are at decent levels.

Going for "best RAM" can't really be quantified. There are way too many variables in this. Technically that 3800 RAM you linked would be close to the best if not the best but then again you can argue it's not because 1: You can't actually buy it 2: If you don't have a CPU that can do 3800, the RAM will lead to an unstable system.

The safest RAM eliminating CPU I/O die would be 3600 with 14-15-15-35 timings but again good luck finding it in stock.

Yeah, fair points. However, if my 5950X can’t do 1900 IF then it’ll be fine for 3600 instead but with tighter timings, least that’s my understanding.

There’s got to be some 3800 CL14 2x16Gb kits out there somewhere!

Either way after shelling out for a 5950X giving it some decent ram doesn’t seem too unreasonable!

Am I right in thinking then that the £299 kit from OCUK is currently the best that I can get for my 5950X build?

Gutted it’s £100 dearer than over Christmas but such is life these days unfortunately.

 

[HRL]

Think you’re probably right. I’ve had a pack sitting unopened since Jan, still waiting for a 5950X to turn up unfortunately.

By the time it arrives the 6950X will only be a few months off release the way things are going.

Indeed, then imagine the wait for those if the current situation is anything to go by.

I’m done with PC kit now for a few years anyway. Just bought a new home so that’s where my money will be going for the next few years.

The 5950X is to replace my 2700X PC that my kids will inherit once mine finally turns up.
