DDR4 3200 MHz with Ryzen 9 CPU

[Emmpii]

Just wondering whether anyone has any experience or suggestions regarding using Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO DDR4 3200 MHZ in a build with 3900x. I've already got a pair of ram sticks and was planning to upgrade to a 32gb set up as well.

 

I've yet to buy a motherboard and CPU and I've seen some suggestions that RAM setup will not go well with Ryzen 9?

 

 

Any suggestions what motherboard set up I should go for that shouldn't cause issues? I don't mind spending £3-500 

 

I'm still not made up between purchasing 9900k or 3900x and will be waiting till Black Friday.

I have the 3600Mhz variant of the RGB PRO with an 3900X and 3 months in no problems.

 

As for the motherboard:

If you decide to go with the 3900X I'm gonna recommend against buying a X570 motherboard if you don't need PCIe 4.0. If you can find a X470 motherboard that fits your needs buy that.

Interesting.

I see no reason why that Corsair RAM set not working. X570 mobo and Ryren 9 3900X are easy on RAM. Unless you plan to use 4000+MHz RAM. 99% of DDR4 RAM kits are plug and play.

You really want to spend so much on an AiO? Even the stock cooler can pretty much do the job, a sweet spot would be a cheaper aftermarket air cooler if you want to invest on it for better thermals and noise reduction:

-

Why is there a Vega64 in there? do you already own it? otherwise unless you're going to work with OpenCL acceleration and compute that card doesn't make sense specially at 390£

-

This sort of build can work on a 550w~650w just fine, you don't need to go all the way up to 750w besides you should stay away from the Seasonic Focus +:

This highly depends on what kind of workload you'll be going through, there are instances the i9 is faster and the better alternative while others the R9 will win the cake.

I've got everything on that list already. 

BTW those prices are pretty much exaggerated, it's not really what I've paid. For example the vega 64 I picked up for < £340.

 

The only thing I 'overpaid' on was the ram where I paid £105 for 16gb.

 

I'm wondering whether upgrading that to 32GB is worth doing with a potential Ryzen 9 set up

The memory you have is fine, why do you need 32gb?

 

You still haven't specified what is your use for the computer.

The ram dropped in price so why not throw some extra in? 

 

Was planning on using my computer for load of stuff tbh. Would be doing some gaming as well as my work. I work as a software dev so would mainly work around that but the occasional graphics work etc. Tbh I just want to build a strong machine and hopefully not have to worry about upgrading for a while

Do you need it? unused ram is wasted ram, shift the funds onto the CPU and Motherboard and get memory only if you need it.

Honestly speaking, I was looking to get by with 16gb for now but the ram priced dropped so I was tempted to go for more 

 

Just hoping I can purchase a good CPU and Motherboard kit on Black Friday. Otherwise 9900k has been hitting the £400 mark a few times over the past couple of months but have been wavering towards the 3900x

Some graphics design progams can use a lot of RAM. My rig has 32GB. I haven't max it out yet. But a few time I used close to 28-29GB.

Looking at this list and it says the CMW16GX4M2C3200C16 isn't AMD optimised. Will that be an issue? Considering there's a few posts online about Corsair rams causing blue screens on Ryzen 9 builds
