Need Help Choosing RAM

mysticsniper · 20 Jan 2020 at 09:48

I am really stuck on which RAM for my Ryzen build, I have the 3900X and Auros Ultra motherboard.

32GB is my preference, I run a lot of VM's for various tasks.

I would prefer 2 sticks over the 4, which rules out 8 Pack, I am not overly keen on Corsair Vengance, seen more bad than good.

Appreciate any assistance here

Over 100 views and no replies?

My hardware has turned up, just waiting on the memory.

I have looking at GSkill Flare X and Corsair Dominator as two potentials, but it seems to be a lottery on Samsung or Hynix.

My 2 cents on this is ... just get some 3600 CL16 .. .or 3600 CL14 memory ... don't get memory that is 4000+ and then try to fine-tune it because you'll have a loooot of headaches with it
As for brand ... You have the TeamGroup ARGB 3600CL14 that are just cute!

That Team Group T-Force Xtreem ARGB mirror finish does look nice, shame they only come in 8GB sticks only.

CMT32GX4M2C3200C16 - seems to be the winner and they're available, unlike the GSkill Flare X.

Thanks for the replies, that link is invaluable

Just need to check against the QVL

I picked up BLS16G4D32AESB for £50, this will tidy me over as I am going to the states in 12 weeks.

I can collect some F4-3200C14D-32GTZR or F4-3600C16D-32GTZN when I am there

presumably you mean £150?

Its a typo, should be BLS2K8G4D32AESBK, which cost me £50
