MSI B450 MORTAR MAX owners recommmend memory options

[devilman_079]

Hello all. As per title what are your views on 3600Mhz memory options for this motherboard? Given price increases I am wondering what to buy now before further price increases. Looking to get this motherboard and other parts over the next couple of months.

Have seen:
a. Vengeance LPX Black 16GB (2x8GB) 3600 MHz AMD Ryzen Tuned DDR4 Memory Dual Kit
b. Viper Steel 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-32000C19 4000MHz Dual Channel Kit (PVS416G400C9K). Also is this samsung b-die?
c. Something else?

Budget up to £100. I know I have missed the boat on 8Pack deals.

Thanks.

Yea shame you missed the boat on the 8pack memory as those are what I would go for.

Forthe record my 8Pack 3200MHz ram runs happily at 3600MHz.

You can overclock the ram yourself and save some cash.

Any of these are good value. If you want 3600 then the Patriot Viper is cheaper than the Corsair kit.

This is on par with the 8 pack stuff in being good quality b-die though it is slightly over budget.

Not worth the extra money though. Also it isn't screened B die.

It will run tighter timings but costs more, at the end of the day you pay for what get. whether or not you need the extra performance is subjective.

You can overclock the cheaper kits just the same and save yourself £30/40 in the process. The Crucial Ballistix has already been shown to be a good overclocking kit.

You can likely overclock the speed of some of the other kits but there's no way that any of them will do 3600+ at cl14 which I've seen some users of the 4400 on here attain.

You don't need 3600 CL14 though. A 3600 CL16 is perfectly fine. You are not losing lots of performance either way. That 4400 kit has come down £10 since you posted though, so not quite as big a price gap.
