RAM for 3rd gen Ryzen - G. Skill, Team or Crucial?

[Automobili3XF]

Previously i ran a Team Group Xtreem 3600mhz 2x8gb ram kit, but i had to sell it, it was far too tall for the heatsink i'm using and removing the heatsink on the RAM would void my warranty, so decided to just sell it and buy a shorter kit.

Now i'm in the process of buying RAM again, these are the kits i'm looking right now, I'm going to jump on the opportunity to double my RAM capacity since it doesn't cost that much more than buying a pair of 8gb sticks at this point in time.

1- 2x16gb G. Skill Ripjaws V 3200mhz (CL16, Hynix M-Die)

2- 2x16gb Crucial Ballistix Sport 3200mhz (CL18, Micron D-Die)

3- 2x16gb Team Group Vulcan Z 3000mhz (CL16, not sure about what chip it uses)

Which one of these should i get?

This one, its the best XMP out of the three, less sure about overclocking

Would look at 3200mhz cl16 kit of this one. Should be E-die iirc.

look up your motherboard's QVL and pick whichever of the three is officially supported. it will play much more nicely with overclocking.

Its the cheapest one as well, by far.

I've had M-Dies before on my awful Biostar motherboard and they didn't work right, but i think the motherboard was to blame.

It should indeed, but i don't think they sell those in 16gb density, only 8gb, and there's no store with 4 sticks of the same P/N on store at the moment.

I believe they do then in dualrank 2*16gb. Could be wrong about that tho.

Probably the motherboard, especially once you start crossing into higher end of memmory overclocking.

My motherboard is an earlier model, none of the models are on the QVL.

Probably was, it didn't even run my B-Die kit quite right.
