Hi all got a amd ryzen 1600 with asus rog b350-f
What is best 2x4gb ddr4 2400/3000
What is best 2x4gb ddr4 2400/3000
I’d wait for Black Friday and try to get a 3000/3200 kit in 16GB, Ryzen performance increases quite a lot at around that speed vs 2400 so it’s worth while.
I’d wager you can get a kit for something like £100 then, not long to wait.
This might sound like a stupid q but why cant you just get 2400 and then get it to 3000mhz??
The memory is sold at a lower speed for a reason, it’s the lesser bin of the chips. Whilst it’s true some of the good memory can be clocked from say 3200 to 3600 timings usually suffer. It’s extemely unlikely you will overclock 2400 to any great degree.
Look at the range of memory, they are effectively identical just different bins of silicon. Samsung B Die recommended over Hynix also by the way.
Thank you I saw a set of g skill flare x (F4-2400C15D-16GFX) for 130 found a reddit post that said this is 8Gb Hynix + Single rank so thats probably why its cheaper i am waiting for black friday( with not much hope that the prices for ram will decrease much)thank you for your response.
Hynix will work ok on newer BIOS (make sure you update), but higher speed it’s always much more readily compatible on B Die.
Single rank is fine, 4GB and 8 will probably be single most of the time. Good luck, worst case some 3,000 Corsair cheap will still beat a set of 2,400 so don’t worry too much.
8Pack 3200 is King and Queen!! Maybe black Friday will offer something here
Sometimes you can just fine - indeed for a while one of the 'best' ram options was samsung green, which wasn't sold as overclocking ram at all.This might sound like a stupid q but why cant you just get 2400 and then get it to 3000mhz??
