[maroammar]

hello 

i will buy 3700x with GIGABYTE X570 AORUS PRO WiFi or msi gaming carpon pro x570

and i dont know what is the best  ram brand and ram frequency for it 

so i need your suggestion

i need 16 gb ram 2*8

65-75$

is this good or not

Crucial Ballistix Sport LT 3200 MHz DDR4 DRAM Desktop Gaming Memory Kit 16GB (8GBx2) CL16 BLS2K8G4D32AESBK (Gray)

Brand doesn't matter too much, what really has impact for Ryzen CPUs is frequency.

In this case, 3200 MHz is a great speed to have, and Crucial kits are always solid.

This is the set I have picked out for my 3700X build: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/pjKhP6/gskill-tridentz-rgb-32gb-4-x-8gb-ddr4-3600-memory-f4-3600c17q-32gtzr

 

3600MHz, Samsung b-die, really good timings

 

I personally don't trust Corsairs RAM; mainly because their entry-level higher speed memory is memory that was simply overclocked from the factory and you will probably not have much luck overclocking it further. My LPX 3000MHz was a bitch to even make it stable at 3000MHz, and even then the timings are far over what I expect of a 3000MHz DIMM.

My vengeance lpx 3200mhz kit has worked from day one flawless. CL16 

 

as to the kit kit you mentioned - it’s $250 op requested in the $65-75 range

Who knows, maybe I lost the silicon lottery on that kit... Or maybe it's the garbage Gigabyte X470 Gaming 5. Either way, this was my first and last Corsair kit. Every other build I've gone with G.skill and have seen nothing but reliability and decent headroom for overclocking at low timings. I dumped hours in testing and researching overclocking this specific module and I don't recall seeing many others succeed either. 

 

As for the price, the kit I linked is the 32GB, the 16GB kit is $115 on Newegg. Still over the price, but you can't ask for "the best RAM for Ryzen" and expect a 16GB kit for less than $100.

I’d still stay just grab a vengeance lpx kit if no need for RGB. 

 

Not bad for 3600mhz at $115

Eh, if I had to go with Corsair memory I would at least get a b-die kit.

And why? You don’t need B die.

Higher quality die is all. Far more people getting better overclocking results from Samsung b-die kits than any other die. 

 

That's the same reason they're number one in solid state and will most likely never be overthrown. They're reliability and quality control is exceptional.

I went with gSkill ddr4 3200mhz CL14, samsung b-dies, they run out of the box @3600mhz 16-16-16 stock voltage on both my new ryzen systems. No tweaking, just set and go. 

 

Once you go b-die and see how amazing and easy they are to work with, I will never go back to cheap memory again

Hi guys, new guy here with about the same question. Sorry. I have an ASRock B550 TAICHI mobo, Ryzen 7 3700x and at this moment running one stick 16gig GSKILL Ripjaw RAM. The problem is when I try to add another stick, I get the dreaded C5 QCode. I can run one stick only in either the A1 or A2 slot. ASRock said they feel like it's the mobo, but I had the same exact problem on an ASUS x 570-e Gaming mobo. Both boards are new btw. Any and all help greatly appreciated.

When you install both sticks are you installing them into slots A2 and B2?  Or whatever the manual specifies?

Hi, yes. I put them in the slots they are supposed to be in. I've tried all kinds of combinations to no avail.

Hello and welcome back.

 

Normally I don't care about the QVL when it comes to RAM, but am I right in assuming you're beyond the return period?  I ask because perhaps if the kit is on your board's QVL you can get in touch with G.Skill.  Especially if they were problematic with another mobo too.  

 

I hate to do this to you, but what have you tried so far?  Different slot combinations, different mobos and what else?  Heck, it might even be the CPU.

Hi, yes unfortunately it is past the return time, both for the ram and the mobo (my own fault). ASRock wants me to send the mobo to them but I can't be without my PC that long (I work from home). But I've tried every combination I can think of A1-B1, A2-B2, all 4. Someone mentioned I might have "Lost the silicone lottery". I'm wondering if that means my Ryzen 7 3700x is bad or the RAM is just not compatible with that. Thank  you for answering.

What seems odd is that you can't run both sticks at any speed.  And if you can run both sticks individually then that seems to point to something other than the RAM.  And since you have had the same problem with different motherboards that points away from the mobo.  So that makes me think it might be the CPU.  

 

Was behavior the exact same with both mobos?  

 

And have you reached out to AMD?

Yes, it was the exact same on both mobos. No, I for some reason didn't even think about reaching out to AMD. Thank you for that. I will do that today.
