best 16gb memory to choose

[hollyh88]

as the title says, which memory is the best suited for the following components that i have in the pc: 

motherboard:
|https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/B450-GAMING-PRO-CARBON-AC

CPU:
https://www.amd.com/en/products/cpu/amd-ryzen-5-2600x

 

While yes the mobo link does have a specific memory page for memory best suited for the board i still would like to hear your opinion. 
I would like to know the best 16GB(2x8GB) memory sticks i should get. 

Price doesnt matter. i just want to know which one will perform the best out of the box! if more info is needed just ask!

Anything that is 3200mhz cl16-18-18-36 rated is a great value option, also look into 3600mhz 18-2x-2x-38 if it is around the same price in your region. If you're into overclocking get a 3000mhz 15-17-17 kit and oc to 3400+.

Since your running ryzen, the faster the better but there is a point of diminishing returns so 3200mhz is the sweet spot with cas latency lowe4 being better.

3000mhz cl16 kit of 2 sticks is what you are looking for.

Drop down to a B450 tomahawk and get a r5 3600 instead.

Go with the Corsair RGB Pro 3200 kit (if u want good RGB)

or

Go with the Corsair LPX Vengeance 3200 kit. (if u want no RGB)

 

Simple and easy.

That right there is just personal preference of the looks.

 

 

Any old kit of 3000/3200mhz is fine. Brand doesnt matter since there is only like 3 people who make memmory. 

 

And choosing between those only matter of you are extreme overclocking

I'd get 3600MHz RAM then, if going Ryzen 3600.

There is a massive cost increase from 3000mhz which is the current sweetspot. Not really any reason to step up from it.

Ballers need to ball, bro.  To correct myself, 3733 is what is really the best sweetspot for Ryzen 3000 performance.  3000 for bang/buck, I agree.

He also chose a 2600x which doesnt have the createst memmory controller. 

 

 

Even then standard 3000mhz is what is worth it.

 

If he wants the best. Get a cl14 kit of 4200mhz and try to get cl 12 3733.

i think i need to be a bit more clear... 

the components i named are already in my pc. 
i currently just have pretty shitty ddr4 memory and need it upgraded. But.. i am not bathed in knowledge when it comes to the best suitable memory for the cpu and mobo that i have. Yes the mobo page has a compatibility list but... it doesnt exactly make me find the proper one that would be best. 

I'm also not keen on the oc part of memory hence the whole " i just want to know which one will perform the best out of the box! ". I can up it a bit with the ryzen master software as i did with the current one but the current one i have is at 2400 i believe so.. not exactly perfect.

The 2600x is oc'ed to 4.1ghz if that is necessery info to know.

ill wait for ryzen 3000 series. maybe later but for now its not really needed. the 2600x is fine. if i will upgrade i will go for the 3600x but that isnt any time soon. i first will get a new gpu after the memory sticks  

oh and ill be getting the 2070 super. 5700xt is nice and all but no raytracing support and bad stability driver wise really isnt my cup a tea.

"Massive increase in cost" where the hell are u buying your ram bud. I saw MAX 5 dollar difference between 3000 and 3200, guess u just gotta search better mate...

Ya no shit why do u thing I split them up if he wants RGB then go with that if hes cheap then go with the other one. Why did u have to say what was obvious geez.

Brand does matter because once your memory dies u will need to RMA the damn thing. And ANYONE other then corsair is absolute horseshit with regards to the RMA process. So don't give me that high and mighty "OHHH theres only 3 corps that actually make the mem chips anyway".

Not really the 3200 mem chips are binned much better then the 3000 especially if u buy Corsair ram. From my testing with over 20 builds now Corsair has the better binned mem chips overall at that 3200 threshold.

Well if you read what i was responding to. Then you will see it was in reference to 3600mhz kits.

 

Which is at a roughly 60$ premium over 3000mhz at a timings worth getting. 

 

You should read better i guess......

Corsair doesnt make chips. And binning chips when running at 3200mhz makes no sense, since those will be binned to run at 3200mhz. 

 

If you want good chips, samsung B-die. Those are favored when extreme overclocking the memmory. 

 

Since its only hynix, Micron and Samsung who really make chips. You choose between their binned batches when extreme overclocking. 

 

For regular peopel you just grab a rated kit and run at XMP.

You must be very good to kill memmory. 

 

DOA, sure, otherwise. Not really.

RMA isnt something you do a lot woth Memmory chips..... Also those three companies and the binning they do os what really decides how good a chip is. 

 

Last time i also checked, there isnt someone especially good when it comes to RMA'ing memmory chips. Mostly because it happens very rarely.

Because you make it seem as if brand is relevant when its not. 

 

Standard 3000mhz cl16 is all you need to look for. And just really go for the cheapest one if you want to.

Go with the b450 tomahawk, ryzen 5 3600 and Corsair vengeance rgb pro 3200mhz ram. It’s the exact same setup I run. I got the ram on amazon for like $90

again the mobo is already in  my pc and thus i dont need another mobo or cpu i asked which ram would be best suited for the current mobo i have. their compatibility list is not readable.
