What Memory to choose?

[Paradeo]

I have Ryzen 3700X and Crosshair VII Hero. An oversight when I started building, I didn't realize my memory wouldn't transfer over being DDR3. I need DDR4. Now I have started trying to figure out what is best and I'm not sure I know. I see one available "Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO Black 32GB 3200 MHz AMD Ryzen Tuned DDR4 Memory Kit" with 16-18-18-36 memory timings. Is it a good choice? Or should I choose something else. Some help from someone who really understands this stuff would be great. Also I don't care so much about gaming, but I do care about Blender rendering if that makes any difference. Thanks for any help anyone can offer.

If its just for blender, grab a kit of Micron E-die in form of Crucial ballistics 3200mhz cl16 kit or if you are not manually tuning memmory. Andy cheap kit of 3000mhz or more will do. 

 

Most gains from memmory comes from manual timings

Thanks. I feel dumb for saying that as I am interested in Blender but just as a hobby, and I enjoy overclocking and trying to get better render times, and I haven't gamed for a while but I might do again some time. I guess I would like RAM to be as good as possible for all situations. And even possibly upgrade later with another 2 of the same kind if necessary. I don't see many options at the places I look. Corsair seems to be the main one available. This is the serial number "CMW32GX4M2Z3200C16". Is there anything better for around the same price range?

I guess I should say what is the downside that I may be missing with this RAM "CMW32GX4M2Z3200C16"? Is there something I should know about this RAM that I could be overlooking because I don't know much about RAM? Something about Samsung die B E etc. stuff that I don't know anything about?

If you are looking into manual Ram overclocking. Its 3 different dies to look put for: Micron E-die, Hynix CJR (i think its CJR) or Samsung B-die.

 

Micron E-die being the cheapest to get your hands on as far as i am aware.

Dont know what Ram that is. If its branded as Ryzen Tuned its probably hynix CJR. Same as Trident Z Neo. 

 

 

If you are looking for cheap ram to play with overclocking and capacity. I would look at E-die. Mostly found in Crucial Ballistics kits.

I think I'm starting to understand it a little better now. I think I'm in a better position to choose my new RAM. Thanks!
