RYZEN DDR4 MEMORY, WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW!

A little late to the party but i have had great results with

using Samsung single rank
G.SKILL F4-3200C14D-16GTZ Trident Z Series

i am using official v120 for the msi tomahawk mem @3200 14 14 14 34 1t 1.35v
All good
next step 4 sticks

I am adding a second 2*8GB kit latter today, don’t think it will run @3200 though. think it will probably max out @2666 CL14 if I’m lucky but?

I'm surprised OCUK haven't done a specific section for Ryzen memory still seems to be a minefield.

I think this is still down to AMD needing to give more information to motherboard manufacturers to allow them to optimise, no point any manufacturer releasing more Ryzen specific memory until then...it may not even be needed but in future new sticks could have XMP and AMD specific profiles on board.

I have 4x8GB Corsair Vengeance (single ranked, Hynix MFR) @ 2666MHz 14,14,14,34,1T on ASUS CH6. You should be okay, depending on the motherboard.

Added the extra RAM, tried for 3200 but did not work so changed it to 2666 14 14 14 34 1T and it booted to Windows. 3200 might work with looser timing but for now its ok @2666 cl14.

Yeah, don't expect 3200MHz any time soon. There was someone that managed it on Overclock.net with a range of different settings and higher bclk. I'm going to leave it as is in hope of better memory overclocking through updates in the future.

You can try for 12 CAS, mine can't do it but it's worth a try.

I'm OK with CL14, HWMonitor is reporting the Dram @1.417V, i set it to 1.35V in the BIOS.
 
I'm looking at corsair dominator 2400mhz c10 1.2v CMD16GX4M2B2400C10, and wonder whether an increase in voltages and looser timing will allow it to clock to 3600mhz c16, as it would save me a around 50-80 pounds compared to gskill ram which is already at 3600mhz c16 or 17, since ryzen appears to benefit from speed over timings

To be honest RAM prices put me off upgrading my system more than anything. I got 16 GiB of fast DDR3 two years ago for under £60 and now it costs more than double that to get fast DDR4 (and using slow DDR4 with Ryzen seems a waste of time).

Yeah, ram prices are awful.

Which is why I jumped on the 64gb of 3000mhz HyperX when I saw it.

While one stick is faulty, Kingston are replacing, which I wasn't sure would happen with it being warehouse deal, but they are.

I won't allow myself to get too happy until I have the replacement, and have confirmation they have received the other back, but I'm optimistic!

No way would have paid the going rate of £600.

But if you hunt around you can find some better deals.

It's a total minefield a kit that is working one day is not working the next after a bios update. Sometimes not even booting.

These rapid roll out bios make it impossible to make an accurate list and keep it upto date.

For my bundles I will keep improving performance over time with later bios and advise accordingly.
 
After installing a second 2*8GB G.Skill kit, a cold boot POST takes a long time. It’s like it fail’s the first two times within 2 seconds and then runs through the numbers a few times. Probably upping the DRAM V until stable. Think I will drop it to 2400 and test that out.

Edit:
I increased the timings to (16,15,15,15,35) to test if it improved the POST time and it did.

Is anyone running the gskill rgb 3466 kit with much success in 2*8gb? Presuming it would do 3200 at c14 on a decent mobo?

I've just put in some 3600MHz Trident Z RGB on a C6H. Just selected D.O.C.P Standard and it auto chose a 3200MHz profile. Booted up fine and appears stable. Will see if it'll do the 3600MHz it's rated for over the weekend although may have to wait for a future BIOS release.
