I've been thinking about getting a Ryzen motherboard and Trident Z RGB RAM but on the G.SKILL site qualified vendor list, it doesn't specify that it works with X470 motherboards...

Hi All, Looking to upgrade my RAM keeping gaming performance as priority. My PC Specs are as follows: CPU : AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2950x with CM Wraithripper cooler Mobo: MSI X399 Gaming pro Carbon AC GPU : Nvidia Zotac RTX 2080 Ti Memory: 2x16GB DDR4 G.Skill 3200Mhz Ripjaw V-series CL16 Hynix PSU: Coolermaster V1000 Vanguard 1000W 80+Gold Modular I am currently running dual channel 2x 16GB @ 3133 Mhz CL16 timings, but the gaming performance isn't that great. 20-30 FPS Drops at times with Hitman 2 & Witcher 3 at Ultra and wanted to upgrade as ryzen performs better with quad channel. My Ripjaws isn't B-Die so not able to push over 3133. I have read Threadripper/ryzen prefers speed over cas and I am looking at 3600 MHz or more Samsung B-die chips. Worst case I can still configure at 3466 Mhz . I have gone through recommendations for threadripper all over the internet and came to a conclusion with the below options. Wanted to have a second opinion on what to buy (made a mistake going for ripjaws earlier). Budget is upto 600$ and want a quad channel 4x8GB ram combo. Option 1: G.SKILL TridentZ (4 x 8GB) 3600 Mhz CL16 Model F4-3600C16Q-32GTZKK (16-16-16-36) @ 399$ https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820232584 Findings: - Samsung K4A8G085WB-BCPB B-die as per this review: https://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/8268/skill-tridentz-rgb-ddr4-3600-32gb-memory-kit-review/index.html - As per a 3D mark benchmark, someone was successfully do 3600Mhz on a threadripper 1950x & ASRock X399 Taichi on this ram (not sure whether my MSI x399 carbon pro ac may get the same love). : https://www.3dmark.com/spy/2340426 - Not in my motherboard QVL but Samsung B-die and with above benchmark is it enough for me to go ahead? Not sure if it can reach 3600Mhz. Option 2: 2 kits of below: G.SKILL Trident Z RGB (For AMD) 16GB (2 x 8GB) 3200 Mhz CL14 Model F4-3200C14D-16GTZRX (14-14-14-34) @ 460$ (2x229$) https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820232650&ignorebbr=1 Findings: - Samsung B-Die, Has AMD compatibility and will work at 3200Mhz (Might overclock to 3333/3466). - Does 2 kits of 2x8 GB will be able to do Quad channel @ 3200Mhz or more on a ryzen? - Seems overpriced (as it is 3200Mhz only) Option 3: 2 kits of below: G.SKILL TridentZ Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 3600 CL15 Model F4-3600C15D-16GTZ (15-15-15-35) @ 440$ (220$x2) https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820232306 Findings: - Samsung B-die but not in my motherboard QVL. Not sure if it can reach 3600Mhz and also if 2 x 2 x 8GB would be fine. Option 4: G.SKILL TridentZ RGB Series 32GB (4 x 8GB) 3200 CL16 Model F4-3200C16Q-32GTZRX @300$ https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820232753 Findings: - Most affordable but not sure if it has Samsung B-Die and can overclock to 3466/3600 I am leaning towards option 1 or option 3 as its 3600Mhz ryzen seems to favor gaming performance but concerned if it would be compatible. Let me know if you guys have a better suggestion/alternative. Thanks for the help Regards.

Hi guys, So what are your thoughts on these 3 components? CPU: Ryzen 5 2600x Mobo: Gigabyte X470 AORUS GAMING 5 WIFI RAM: 16GB of G.Skill Trident Z RGB 3200Mhz The GPU I'm planning to pair it with is either an RTX 2060 or an RTX 2070. Case I'm planning to get is the Cooler Master H500M. So is there sufficient internal headers for the case?(There's a type C front port) Will either RTX cards go well with the 2600x? And is the stock cooler enough if I want to oc the CPU? My goal is for 1080p gaming at max settings. And maybe a little 1440p gaming with high settings. (Depending on which GPU I get I'm content with just 1080p gaming.) Please note this will be my first PC(but don't know when I will buy the parts. I may try to wait for 3rd gen Ryzen cpus). Also I have little understanding to compatibility of the parts. Thanks in advance!

I would like to ask for some opinions about the new g.skill royal, if you think that it is worth it. Also with the new corsair dominator platinum rgb I think the old ones non rgb will drop in price, so.... Do you have a "preferred" memory brand or kit to suggest?

Greetings, I'm planning to buy some RGB RAM and G.Skill TridentZ RGB comes to mind, quality Samsung B-die + great looks. Before I buy it I would like to know if There are any issues with this RAM and Asus Aura software? Or any issues with RAM and lighting itself that would throw me off buying? Currently I'm using Maximus X Hero motherboard. Thanks!

Hello everyone, So I have been thinking & looking to build a new rig & have a bazillion questions. But I'll start with RAM: My platform of choice is a Ryzen 3700x with Asus TUF Gaming MB. Here's my understanding of RAM frequencies for this: according to this graph (attached image below), the so-called "sweet spot" for Zen 3 RAM is 3733Mhz at CL17. Many people choose to buy 3600Mhz CL16 because it's a lot more readily available & cheap than 3733CL17. I have been looking at G.Skill 32GB (2x16) 3600CL16 that I should be able to get around 225€. However I just stumbled upon a pretty cheap Patriot Viper 3733CL17, but it's not on the Zen 3 list of supported RAMs ( pdf here ). Comments on Amazon do say there is zero compatibility issue though. This is a 2x8GB set so I would want to double that to get 32GB ( 2 x 86€ = 172€ total ). So my questions are: - Is this a good opportunity to get a native 3733CL17 for a good price? Is frequency more important than brand? The chip brand isn't disclosed but there are hints that this is a Hynix kit rather than a Samsung. Is Patriot a reputable/reliable RAM brand? - Should I instead stick with 3600CL16 with a bigger brand like G.Skill & pay 53€ more? - Are there performance differences between 2 sticks of 16GB and 4x8GB? If yes, what are they? - Might I try to find a 3600CL17 instead, and overclock it to 3733Mhz? I'm no overclocking expert, but it should be doable, wouldn't it? Again, keep in mind the 53€ difference, that not negligible. Thank you all for the help! P.S.: the G.Skill 3600CL16 is Samsung 16-16-16-36, the Patriot Viper is claimed at 17-19-19-39, the G.Skill 3600CL17 is Samsung 17-19-19-39. EDIT: modified title according to comment below.

Hi everyone, I am in desperate need of help. I got some new RAM and a new mobo and now my Windows 10 install appears to have corrupted itself (again). I have gone through all my motherboard settings (Fast Boot, UEFI vs Legacy, etc.). My RAM is fully detected, installed properly, and functional. I have tried to boot from a recovery USB (still freezes). MemTest86 completely locks up when running. I am really at my wit's end as to what to do short of wiping my drive and starting fresh. Would any of you fine people have any suggestions? Any help is appreciated. Honestly, if I just need to wipe the drive and start fresh I will do that. I just need to know if I'm overlooking something here. Here's what I'm working with: Mobo: MSI MPG Z390 Gaming Edge AC CPU: i9 9900K RAM: G.Skill Trident Z RGB 2400 MHz GPU: GTX 1070 PSU: Seasonic Platinum OS Drive: Adata XPG SX8200 Pro

So I completed my build today and I'm facing a ridiculous problem. Whenever I restart my PC from BIOS Setup or Windows it doesn't POST anything. Sometimes it boots but doesn't POST (I guessed it by watching ram's rgb profile changed which I made).But if I completely shut it down and after a few seconds turn it on, it posts and boots perfectly. And all the components just works fine. I ran some games and didn't notice any problems. It's not a ram problem I am sure. I tested both rams individually and both of them were working perfectly. But none of them were able to reboot my pc. So I guess the problem is somewhere else. I also reset BIOS using the button. It didn't help either.PLEASE HELP,My rig:Mobo: MSI MPG X570 GAMING EDGECpu: RYZEN 7 3700XRam: G.

Good day to everyone here on the LTT forums, I have a really stuck up other word for mean lady of a build here.

As the system only had bad FPS I thought it was a Software problem or just something with the game, after a longer period and swapping components I am really not sure what is going on with this pc anymore and im considering an exorcist. As from the specs above you might have noticed this pc is being used for streaming and gaming for a decent amount of hours per day. We have tested this pc with multiple games and the same problem keeps on coming back. The FPS in idle can either be 400 fps in our main test game (Black desert Online) But it can also be stuck at 240 fps in idle and both were on very Low settings as max settings won't even go above 70 most of the time, it just is how the wind blows (Both in the same area under same conditions). Moment when grinding monsters in the game the FPS can either be well over 200 fps or barely keeping its head above 100 fps. Sadly it didn't stop here as in the other games like for example League of legends which literally only needs a potato to run the game wouldn't go over 150fps, minecraft (Yes minecraft) wouldn't budge over 55 fps. First the thought only occured that this only happened in games, sadly this was not the case as windows would always lag on start up like hell. More issues developed over time and it keeps on changing!? All issues as of now: - FPS not being stable at all and decreasing over time when playing, getting stuck at one point where restarting pc is the only option. - Very annoying Audio distortion when just listening to music or streaming. - Pretty much constant micro stutters as long as the PC is running. - GPU going to ~95% usage on games on very low settings, when this happens audio also breaks and gives massive lags to the pc itself. - The PC won't turn off 8/10 times, screens go black but PC keeps on running. (Event logger only tells there has been a unexpected shutdown) - PC randomly crashes whenever. General info: - CPU temps not getting above 67 degrees under load - GPU temps not getting above 66 degrees under load - RAM usage doesn't go over 30%, same goes for the CPU sticking to this. - Tried running the system without any clocks, clean bios, clean windows etc etc, same problems keep on happening. - Changed the PSU from a coolermaster 750w to the Asus ROG Thor 850w, at first it seemed to have fixed a lot but the moment starting the stream everything went out of the window again when talking about performance. Also got a Hard error. - Have tried multiple SSD's with clean windows installs - Power options are set to performance, Nvidia settings have been adjusted (Vsync off, multi threading etc etc) - Fast boot is off - All critical errors etc have been resolved in the Event logger, sadly didn't help. - Bluescreens stopped after swapping out 1 SSD (mp600) Parts that have been replaced: - RAM - CPU - Motherboard - PSU - Cooler - Monitors ~ Pretty much the only thing left is the GPU but that one seems to work fine in other rigs and under stress tests. Software that is being used: - OBS - Voicemeter Potato - Elgato streaming software - Discord (?) - Windows 10 - Black desert online (Game) It has shown that it can give massive amounts of power in whatever it is tasked to do, sadly it was only for short periods of time before everything went down to things it is almost not possible to use it for what it is intended to do. I am out of ideas, this has been a real battle and I have tried different components, different verions of drivers of CPU and GPU, different BIOS versions, older windows installs and nothing has been the solution. If I have forgotten to mention anything feel free to ask, I am open for suggestions even tho most of the solutions I found in the past 6 months have not worked (Talking about doing this every day for at least 3 hours). The one that is able to help me find this solutions gets a very big cookie.. Thank you for reading this long piece and hopefully someone is able to help me out here as it is starting to become a mental battle that is not anymore healthy and money is running out..

Hi, I have tried everything I can think of to get this working. It's a bit of a long winded situation that I will try and explain and I really hope someone can help. Before we get in to it, I am aware that the gigabyte software is SH@# but we have no other software to use to control the mobo lighting.

So I started the whole troubleshooting saga and eventually Completely uninstalled ALL Gigabyte software and G.Skill Trident Z Lighting Control Software. I used CCleaner to remove any remnants of files and cleaned up the registry as well. I also manually scanned my entire drive for an anything related to RGB Fusion and G.Skill I then reinstalled the RGB Fusion software and I was surprised to see it work. However, NOW I can only control my mobo RGB and not the RAM. The RAM is now stuck on RAINBOW. So I figured, well I don't care, I will anyway control the RAM using the Triden Z Lighting Control software but when I started the G.Skill app, it also opened now but shows NO RAM sticks to manage. So then I realise that the RAM is now not being detected. And so I start becoming concerned that maybe CCleaner has borked my drivers or OS or something but then I realised that this all started BEFORE I touched CCleaner so..... I shut the machine down, removed and reseated the RAM sticks and tried again....NOTHING Then I shut the machine down, cleared the CMOS and reset the BIOS settings and tried again....NOTHING I then ran sfc /scannow from the command line as administrator....NOTHING I then ran DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth from the command line as adminstrator....NOTHING I tried REINSTALLING the Chipset drivers and reboot....NOTHING Then I look over to the LED display on my Galax 2080 ti HOF and notice that the display info is not showing. So... I check if the Xtreme Tuner software is running and it is. So I open up the app and exit it and restart it and the LED display STILL shows NOTHING. So now I am at a loss...I don't know where to from here.... Has anyone got ANY suggestions for me?? I would really appreciate someones help here.

I'm looking at upgrading my PC to a 3900X and will need to purcahse some RAM. I have heard that Ryzen 3rd gen favours high clockspeeds and low latency. I've been looking at the G.Skill Trident Z RGB for styling, and can purchase the following RAM, but am not sure which would be best. G.Skill Trident Z RGB 32GB (16GB x 2) 3200MHz CL14-14-14-34 - F4-3200C14D-32GTZR - £250 G.Skill Trident Z RGB 32GB (16GB x 2) 3200MHz CL15-15-15-35 - F4-3200C15D-32GTZR - £218 G.Skill Trident Z RGB 32GB (16GB x 2) 3600MHz CL16-19-19-39 - F4-3600C16D-32GTZRC - £180 I've had trouble locating sellers of the G.Skill RAM in the UK, but these are what I have found so far. Ideally I'd like to overclock the RAM to 3600MHz, is the CL14 kit worth the price difference? Which of these would is best paired with the 3900X, and which would you suggest is the better to go for?

Then audio stutter happened. I first thought it was my graphics card (different from the one above) it was an Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2070 Windforce, because i had some issues when i first got it, so i decided to upgrade a little anyway hoping that would fix my problem, come install, it did not. Now I am at an impass unsure of how to fix this I've run a mem test aswell to see if the issue was memory but nothing came up with an error. please help me i will provide any other necessary information, Thank you.

So the story goes like this, It worked fine with both G.skill & MSI mystic light software when I finished building my PC. But after a week, I wanted to cycle my ram through 2 colors, which you can't with the G.skill & MSI software. So, after a bit of research, I've read an old post (2017) somewhere on Reddit or some other forums posted that you can download & use Asus aura sync on an MSi motherboard to control the trident z RGB lighting, and the aura software supported 2 color cycling. So just like that, I went to Asus's website & downloaded the Aura Sync software (yes I'm kinda an idiot for doing this). But when I tried install the software it went halfway & stuck at AaC.HAL or something close to that. In the end, I just canceled the installation and leave it be. After that I've noticed that my RAM can't change color nor can be recognized by both software.UPDATE: Tried my RAM on a friend's PC who uses an ASUS Strix B450-F Mobo, G.skill software won't work on the RAM either but the Asus Aura Sync Software recognized the RAM & able to change colour.What I've tried :-Delete & Removing anything that is related to Asus (Manually & used CCleaner too)-Uninstalling & reinstalling G.Skill software & MSI Mystic Light software-Re-seated the RAM-Uninstalling all RGB software from the computer & reinstalling G.skillSpecification :MOBO : MSI B450 Carbon Pro ACCPU : Ryzen 7 2700XGPU : Gigabyte GTX 1070 Windforce OCRAM : G.skill Trident Z NEO 32GB 3600MHZ

Before I upgraded to my Ryzen 5 3600, I bought a 32gb kit of Trident Z RAM. I had a Gigabyte Aorus z370 motherboard at the time, and the RGB synced perfectly using RGB Fusion. But when I finally upgraded to my MSI X570 Gaming Edge Wifi board with Ryzen, the RGB is stuck on Rainbow Wave and it is not detected by the MSI Mystic Light software. Nor can I find it under my Corsair software that controls my AIO (not sure if this is normal or not, the cooler was installed the same time as the mobo/cpu) But I also tried installing the G.Skill app, and I can't change any settings there either. The RAM is detected just fine with CPU-Z. I did read that RGB software can conflict with each other so I did try to uninstall one and try the other and visa versa with no effect. I tried swapping the sticks around also. Getting deeper into research, I discovered that it might be an issue with the RAM's SPD, so I downloaded Tiaphoon Burner, however is says my CRC is ok. (Also pretty sure my MSI board doesn't have an SPD write function... I looked all over for it.) Here is the kicker. I still have the old z370 board. I plugged it in, and the RAM synced right up with RGB Fusion, just like before. If the SPD *is* corrupted, can someone please give me a comprehensive, very noob-friendly walkthrough so that I can hopefully get it fixed confidently? Thanks!

So i was looking to double my RAM the other day, so i enter my build int PC Part Picker to try and find the best price. After entering my specs, PCP tells me that my RAM is 1.6V and my mobo is only rated for 1.5V. I have been running this set up for 3 years. Is this an issue that should worry me? I really want to double up my memory but i dont want to play with fire (literally of figuratively).My specs are posted if needed.

So a while ago, my ram speed was running comfortable at 2933 Mhz (it was a 2x8 g.skill ripjaws v 3200mhz kit). But then, I upgraded to 32 gigs of ram (4x8 of the same memory) because I use apps like Solidworks and Oculus Medium, which are pretty RAM intensive. So now, my computer crashes at anything above 2666 Mhz, and none of the XMP profiles work either. Is there anyway to fix this? And what is the root of the problem? My motherboard? The processor? The RAM itself? I'll list those things below. Ryzen 5 1600 @ 3.6Ghz 1.2750v G.Skill Ripjaws V 3200Mhz 4x8 32Gb 16-16-18-38 MSI B350 Tomahawk Motherboard

G.Skill Trident Z RGB 16GB (2x 8GB) DDR4 3600Mhz Memory. Model: F4-3600C17D-16GTZR It says it is optimized for Ryzen, although there aren't much reviews on it for me to settle on it, so I'm curious if this is the best RAM to get since it's at 3600mhz and 16-18-18-38 Latency. Or should I just get the G.Skill Flare X 16GB (2x 8GB) DDR4 3200Mhz Memory Black instead? I'm open to all opinions, so feel free to give any extra info if you want.

Hi there, i just get my first pc in a while, got MSI B450 GAMING PRO CARBON AC + ryzen 2200g (just for ~3months so went budget CPU now) + G.SKILL TRIDENT Z 3200 and PSU be quiet pure power 10, I'll give list below. So today everything arrived and I build it up and tried to start it but didn't work so I checked everything, then I dismantled it and build again with no results, all I see on mobo is red dot in upper left corner she blinks 3 times after I turn on power supply and that's it, any ideas what I did wrong or what's fckd up? Now I'm going to sleep see you tomorrow. https://www.mindfactory.de/product_info.php/AMD-Ryzen-3-2200G-4x-3-50GHz-So-AM4-BOX_1227064.html https://www.mindfactory.de/product_info.php/16GB-G-Skill-Trident-Z-RGB-DDR4-3200-DIMM-CL16-Dual-Kit_1138152.html https://www.mindfactory.de/product_info.php/500-Watt-be-quiet--Pure-Power-10-CM-Modular-80--Silver_1138272.hthtml https://www.mindfactory.de/product_info.php/MSI-B450-Gaming-Pro-Carbon-AC-AMD-B450-So-AM4-Dual-Channel-DDR4-ATX-Ret_1266875.html And HDD from old PC I believe its this one https://www.mindfactory.de/product_info.php/500GB-WD-Blue-WD5000AZRZ-64MB-3-5Zoll--8-9cm--SATA-6Gb-s_1012183.html

Will this work on this? Will it run at advertised speeds? thanks for the help

Hello, I wish to have my Trident Z G.Skill 2x 8gb Ram sticks to sync with my RGB lighting. I understand there has been problems with programs such as Aurasync "Corrupting" the ram and having to crazily troubleshoot to get it back to working condition. I see that in one of Linus' videos he was sent a computer that had its RGB pre set up to match those of the corsair fans out of box. Seeing as that is being done I chose to post here to see what kind of solution has been made to fix my worries that my ram too could get corrupted when obviously they're selling out of the box already set up RGB with compatibility. Linus says in the video that it is most likely controlled by aura sync but compatibility doesn't exist yet for it right? Links for reference to said Video. Link 1(Corsair Link w/fans) Link 2(Trident X G.Skill ram) Link 3(Working RGB Sync) I'm reaching out for a solution so I don't brick my ram or anything of the sort. Have to go through RMA, Troubleshoot, or get the corsair vengeance and waste more money and give my ram away. I am going to be getting 3 T-Force Delta RGB lit SSD's and will be wanting to use aurasync or similar program to connect all those products plus my motherboard together. I currently have corsair link hooked up to 7 fans and works dandy, have a corsair water cooling with RGB logo on it, and 3 RGB Strip from corsair. all works fine. Sidenote: I know that getting corsair vengeance will match my build better but for the moment I'm looking for a solution for both myself and others affected by the same issue. Thank you in advance, Tristan AKA Innocence_Ends - Lover of PC building and helping others.

Hi there! I just bought some new hardware and i'm getting stuck on something. The hardware that i bought is: Ryzen 7 2700x MSI x470 gaming pro G.skill DDR4 Aegis 2x8GB 3000M (F4-3000C16D-16GISb) installed at A2 and B2 Samsung EVO 970 When i start up windows it says the system has 16 gig of memory but it can only use 8 of it. When i go to my BIOS i see 8192 memory size and 2133 DDR speed. I've attached a screenshot of this. What do i need to do to fix this? I've already tried to set the memory to 16 gig in msconfig but that resulted in a blue screen. Did any of you experienced this as well? Thanks in advance!

I have a friend who had just purchased new RAM that was on sale. He installed it and now his computer won't show a picture. Below is what he had posted on Reddit (r/pcmasterrace) hoping to get a reply. I wanted to post here to see if anyone would be able to help with some suggestions. My friends initial post: "Just got new RAM (2x8GB G.Skill ddr4 2133) to replace my 2x4GB Ballistix ddr4. Switched the RAM out and plugged everything back in. Switched the computer back on. It kicked on but the monitor wouldn't recognize it. Switched back to my old RAM to see if maybe the new RAM was the issue and now that doesn't work either. I have made sure everything is still connected, RAM has been reseated, computer has been cleaned out with a can of compressed air, CMOS jumper used to reset BIOS and motherboard battery removed and put back to reset bios, single RAM stick used in each of the four slots still nothing. I am running out of ideas and am just hoping my mobo isn't fried (as far as I know there isn't a speaker or light on it so I really don't have a way to tell if it is or not). If anyone has any ideas I would really appreciate it. Mobo: Asrock Z170 Pro4p" Reddit link:
