Quick memory advice

Skynet5 · 17 May 2021 at 22:19

Need to build out a Ryzen 5 machine. Looking at 5600x in a tomahawk b550.

What's a good choice of ram...ideally that in stock at ocuk? Meets 3600 cl16 etc.. no need to clock higher. Stock is fine.

Thanks in advance.

There's no magic formular, just get the cheapest. It's not like it was 20 years ago when the cheapest meant unbranded rubish.

Here's the cheapest 3600 cl16 on OCUK

1 x Crucial Ballistix 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-28800C16 3600MHz Dual Channel Kit= £79.99

I've been using the RAM above with my 5600x for a few months now and its been running solid. Stock settings.

I also use this ram with a 3800xt in a msi b550 carbon can't fault it, running 1T primaries unchanged but Trc 58 and Trfc 540

+1 from me , solid and works for 3600 - I got the RGB version as it was on sale back in Feb/Mar - the MOD software is a big buggy but can be used with the lights turned off

Firstly I agree with every one above.

I nearly bought some new ram and this is the stuff I was going to buy.

By the way are you all recommending this off the back of the Digital Foundry video?

Not seen the video in question link? i bought it because it was cheap and fairly well regarded on forums
