Hi,

Recently bought 8 pack RAM here at OCUK, i was reading the posts in here that probably swayed my decision.

I have also ordered Tomahawk Max & Ryzen 3600x (which are due to arrive).

I want to achieve the best frequency/timings possible. I think this would be 3800 cl 16 / 3600 cl 14, though tell me if i am wrong?

Should i return it and get the VS 4400 instead? I heard something about 94% quality against 8 pack 92% quality?

I am really lost here........ I have also seen Corsair ram that is available for pre-order at OCUK 32GB for a little more in price? It says AMD optimized. These seem to be a better option, but again debatable whether 32GB will be needed right now or near future.

Hi Joxeon,

That's good to know.

Would you expect that this should also hit the Viper steel clock speeds (incase i jump ship and go intel in the future)?

So 3800/1900 is the highest the mobo will support before IF becomes 2:1?

8 Pack RAM appears to then be of better quality. If they are a B die, then i guess it just comes down to silicon lottery and not from which brand is better. I guess the difference between the ram speeds as advertised is that they have been tested to work at these speeds and it would be uncertain to run at any other overclocked speeds...... In which case they are probably able to do it, its just a way to sell different frequencies of RAM to different consumers?
