Ryzen 1st Generation Memory in 2019

[Jon Jon]

I have been considering upgrading my RAM to 32GB in my current build.

 

My challenge is, I do not want to downclock below DDR4 3200 speeds to do it.

 

Has the memory support improved enough to not worry? The same kit I bought 2 years ago is on sale currently, so sticking with a proven kit may help, but I am not 100% sure.

 

What are your thoughts?

 

Thanks!

it has not improved, just buy the same kit

I have a feeling it will have to down clock to 2933 to hit those speeds, or will I be able to sustain 3200?

 

The challenges

 

I am hoping there are others here who have attempted similar.

With the 1st gen, most likely you'll have to down-clock after installing 4 sticks (or 2 dual-rank sticks).

it will hit atleast 3000mhz

It may be worth it to sit at 16GB until I absolutely need to upgrade my RAM.

I do not want to take a performance hit unless I have to.

 

At the very least, I figure I could set some aggressive timings to get equivalent performance at 2933.

Hopefully :).
