Ram chip comptability with ryzen 3700x

[mrTechTech]

Hello,

 

I am in the process of picking ram for a build. This will be my first build so excuse my ignorance and incorrect terminology.

 

 My current parts are Ryzen 3700x with an asrock x570 taichi. I have been doing a bit of research on ryzen zen 2 and ram. I was looking at following amd's price/perf recommendation of 3600 mghz cl16. I have my eyes set on some G.skill trident Z neo 3600 Mhz ram 4x8gb. The G.skill ram I am looking at hasHynix J chip However, I have read that ryzen does well with the samsung B-die. Does the chip make any difference for performance if they are both on the QVL?

Generally no, however something to consider is that Neo was made for Ryzen so that kit would do well regardless.

Thank you for the response. 

 

I had one other question. My motherbored is t-topology so will there be any performance difference from using 2 sticks vs 4? In the video below around 22:00 buildzoid mentions a performance hit if not using 4 sticks. So if I used 2 of the neo would there be a difference? The QVL shows that the neos were tested for 2 and 4 DIMM socket support.Therefore, I should get the same performance regardless of how many sticks of ram I use, right?

Not a performance hit per se, it just handles 4 dimms better than daisy chain, while daisy chain handles 2 dimms better. Still, I doubt that just because it's t topology that it would give you a problem if you used 2 dimms, as ram speed is an emphasis on new Ryzen and high end boards should be capable of pushing high speeds regardless.

Hi, what was your pick finally?

 

i tough that in the case of T topology it’s always better to have 4 dimm, assuming same timing.
