Best memory r 5 2600x

[hollyh88]

which memory is best suited for the ryzen 5 2600x on the msi b450 gaming pro carbon ac? 

you can find the list of compatible memory for the motherboard by clicking this link: https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/B450-GAMING-PRO-CARBON-AC#support-mem-14
And then selecting "Memory by RX-2X00" I don't know which one i should pick. from the listed memory sticks. I'm looking for 2 x 8gb kit set. 

pure gaming only.

I have the Corsair vengeance lpx 3200mhz 2*8GB kit on the same motherboard but with a 2700x cpu.

 

works a dream

you have a budget or you simply want the best?

 

the best value is probably any 2x8 CL16 ddr4 3200mhz kit

 

to me, memory with samsung b-die modules would be the best, but it costs a little more. they will be more overclockable and run tighter timings. Ryzen loves tight timings

Gskill 3200 cl16 is super cheap, fine cl for the average gamer.

i dont have a budget, i just dont really know which one is best and compatible. cause there are ones that look amazing but arent showing on the compatibility list.

Also... i do like to see a good compatibility ofc

that one is on the mattise ridge compatibility, aka for ryzen 3000 series compatibility but not 2000 series (like the 2600x/2700x)

we have the same motherboards in question the b450 pro carbon ac, just different cpus

 

The ram i posted above is on the compatibiility list for  "Memory by RX-2X00"

 

it is also the ram I use. I'm just telling you how awesome the ram is. you can't beat samsung b-die modules. They are the best out there
