Team dark memory and ryzen 5

D10ng · 1 Oct 2017 at 18:59

Hi all.
I have an Asrock ab350m-itx motherboard on the way. I've been doing the endless search for B-die ram. Now coming back to the Team dark pro sticks.

Question as I'm looking at just a Ryzen 5 1400 (for now) is the 8pack 3200 worth it? Or would the Team dark pro 3000mhz be just as useful with the less powerful CPU. I'm not on a strict budget but paying more for Ram than a CPU doesn't feel right.

Is the team dark pro 3000mhz definitely B-die?
Regards
Dave

I purchased some G.Skill Trident Z 3200MHz CL14 from Amazon to go with my Ryzen 5 1600 - runs at those speeds out of the box with no problems.

I'd get the 3200 as it's a little more expensive, and if you do upgrade CPU later, you (probably) won't have to then change the RAM.

Thanks, I think that is the conclusion I'm coming too as well.

team Dark Pro used to be b-die when they were around £139, someone bought it and was confirmed. B die usually have lower CL14, anything above is usually not.

8Pack sticks definitely working with that board 3333mgz c14 I tested.

Thanks all.
Any ideas if 3200+mhz makes more or less difference for lower end CPU's v higher end (ryzen at least) ? or are the gains similar across the board?

Same across the board.
