RYZEN DDR4 MEMORY, WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW!

[Gibbo]

Hi there


Just to help educate a little.

Ryzen is compatible with all current DDR4 memory and officially supports upto 3600MHz.

However the sweet spot is 2400-2666MHz, this speed will work with all mainboards including cheaper options.

3000MHz and above will ONLY work at such frequencies in the flagship mainboards like Asus Crosshair for example and even then the maximum stable speed we achieve with a lot of messing around was 3200MHz, which really makes 3000MHz the maximum speed we advise.

Of course you could buy 3200 or even 3600 kit now, and just run it at a lower frequency with more aggressive CAS Timings and as BIOS updates come out then you might be able to achieve higher frequency.

As such we recommend 2400-3000MHz kits for use with Ryzen, faster kits will work just fine but you might have to run them below the rated speed and just set the memory timings more aggressive.

Like I say the cheaper mainboards are typically good for 2133-2666MHz memory frequency, the higher-end boards will hit around 3000MHz at present.

Does 'higher end' include the MSI Carbon board?

 

[Gibbo]

Does 'higher end' include the MSI Carbon board?

Yes but so far Asus is delivery the best memory OC ability above 3000MHz, particular Crosshair mainboard.

 

[Scottland]

Ok thanks, currently looking at the Asus prime board and MSI Carbon. But only have 3000 ram anyway...

 

[HeX]

Any chance if can you confirm if the Avexir Core 2400MHz stuff works OK with Ryzen? I picked up 32GB (2 x 16GB) in preparation a couple of weeks ago.

 

[Aretak]

Does 'higher end' include the MSI Carbon board?

The Carbon claims to support up to 3200MHz on MSI's site. I suspect that memory compatibility will get a lot better with firmware updates. I know that the Z170 board I had launched in a fairly sorry state in terms of memory, but a few updates later and it handled 64GB of 3333MHz DDR4 without breaking a sweat.

Yes be fine, good choice!

Motherboard manufacturers always make claims, but maxing RAM frequency on all platforms never comes easy.

Cheers Gibbo, 2nd can't come fast enough

Will be looking at one of the 16GB 3000/3200 kits I think. The Vengeance White LED kit would look nice in a white/black/grey themed build, might be the boards and firmware improve massively but don't want to risk unstable ram clock issues.

You could buy a 3200 and just run at 3000 for example. RAM can be underclocked just like it can be overclocked.

 

[Alexrose1uk]

Of course, just like mine in signature (1600, Kingston). I just don't want any boot issues like I've seen previously! Although it's meant to be supported, my current motherboard just won't boot with high speed DDR3, bought some previously and had to return it because it was too temperamental!

Keep swapping between the 3000 and 3200 kit though
The 3200 MIGHT go tighter if I run 3000...but completely luck of the draw.

Planning to go for a White theme with sub black/grey colours...AKA Stormtrooper build
Something along these lines... more white kit please!

May tweak over coming weeks and months though.

 

[Ree]

that nighthawk ram looks nice

@Gibbo

Will this work with Ryzen https://www.overclockers.co.uk/team...l-kit-black-tpkd416gm2400hc16q-my-058-tg.html i know it specifically says X99 and its a quad channel kit.
But my thoughts are this would all just run at Dual channel with Ryzen, can you confirm?

Actually 3000 and 3200 kits tend to be identical IC, they just change the label from say 3000C15 to 3200C16

Figured it was the case (plus different XMP profile), but yeah, its the risk to take haha

 

[Drollic]

@Gibbo

Given zen is dual channel, do you suggest 2*16gb or 4*8gb for those wanting 32gb total at say 3000mhz? Will filling all slots be less stable at higher rated speeds?

 

[Relentless81]

thanks for this, I've been struggling with deciding which to go for

Best overclocking will come with 2x4GB modules.

2x8 or 4x4 is around same OC performance, as such we still have some 4x4 kits pretty cheap as old stock.

 

[ubersonic]

Any idea when we can expect low profile [non-ECC] DDR4 to arrive? Never been a fan of RAM with gaudy heat spreaders.
