Hello,

I'm slowly upgrading my PC and building a spare from the parts left over.

I'm keeping my ROG CROSSHAIR VI HERO and going to upgrade the 1800+ to a 3700+

with this in mind what RAM would you recommend, is it worth paying the extra for the "tighter timings" (I really don't understand RAM!)

or

or something different?

both kits are very good, and at 3600mmhz both would have good timings.

Sorry to ask another question, but do either of you know what would be the real world difference between the cheap:

and the 8 Pack super stuff?

Leaning towards the 8 Pack RAM, but just need a reason to spend the extra £40! Also noticed the 8 Pack 4133MHZ is currently cheaper than the 8 Pack 3600MHZ I take it I can easily underclock the 4133MHZ to 3600MHZ if I have any problems?
(will currently be paired with a 1800+, but planning on a 3700+ soon)

Cheers
 
Thanks for the advice so far.

Still in two minds over this (mainly due to lack of knowledge on my part!) My MBoard will do 3600 O/C (std is 3200), with this in mind is there any point in spending more on anything above 3600mhz RAM?

I'm very tempted by the:

but not sure if I'll see any gains (happy to under-clock in the BIOS, but I'm clueless as to the "tighter timings" benefits?

Therefore not sure if the above will be better than the below at 3600mhz?

Current plan is a 3700+ but if I hold out long enough I may drop a 4700+ in it (obviously pure speculation at this time)

Cheers

The sweet spot for 3rd Gen Ryzen CPUs is 3600MHz with the IF at 1:1 (so 1800MHz)

Don't even think about 3200 if you can easily afford 3600, unless you can get a set that you know will overclock to 3600, but it's not guaranteed, so some lottery in doing that!

Yeah, I'll absolutely get 3600 as a minimum, just not sure getting higher is worth it (the cheap RAM I linked is rated at 3600)

I'll get the 8 Pack on offer if I'll see any noticeable benefit (https://www.overclockers.co.uk/team...4133mhz-dual-channel-kit-black-my-099-tg.html) offer the https://www.overclockers.co.uk/team...-3600mhz-dual-channel-kit-blac-my-0a3-tg.html or Viper etc

It's 3600 with a 1:1 Infinity Fabric, I've just bought 2 sets of the ram in your last link, great price for some great ram.

I'll be using Ryzen DRAM Calculator to run it at 3800MHz with low timings, if my CPU allows it, otherwise it'll run at 3600 with super low timings :cool:

Hello,

In splendid isolation I've done a little reading and am edging towards the same RAM as you, can I ask what "low timings" you easily achieved with the RAM?

Guess with my 1800+ I'll be looking at 3200MHz and 14 CL ball park...

Cheers all
