Which brand of DDR4 for Ryzen 3600?

[Toynbee]

Need 2x 8gb memory sticks for ryzen 3600 and a amd rx 580

Patriot Viper 4 2x8GB DDR4 3200MHz CL16 Dual Channel

AData XPG Gammix D10 16GB 2x8GB DDR4 3200MHz CL16

Patriot Viper Steel 2 x 8GB DDR4 3600MHz CL17

G.Skill RipjawsV Black 16GB 2x8GB DDR4 3200MHz CL16 Dual Channel

Team Group Delta 16GB 2x8GB DDR4 3200MHz CL16 Black RGB

ALL around 85 $

Judging by the rated clocks the Patriot Viper Steel 2 x 8GB DDR4 3600MHz CL17  should be the best one.

[bellabichon]

All 5 models are DDR4, the same config, and the same frequency, so it's probably not going to make any noticeable difference. At this point, you can just choose one based on how it fits with the aesthetic of your build.

 

EDIT: Oops, misread the clocks. In that case, the Patriot Viper CL17 is going to be the fastest.

Some cheap 3600mhz CL16 kit probably.

 

can also check your motherboard QVL

just as @Streetguru said, some cheap ddr3600 would be my choice, check QVL ,i saw some for 90usd, pref brand is g. skill for warranty.

I personally don’t have a lot of respect for brand names.  Motherboard manufacturers do though.  They will test and certify different brands and models.   There may be a list somewhere of what brands got tested by the motherboard manufacturer.  If the memory was tested there may be an automatic feature that resets the memory to what the motherboard maker thinks the memory should run at.

 

as @Princess Luna  The viper has the best raw printed numbers but those may change when they go into the machine.

any generic 3200mhz kits will do. see if that extra budget can put some money towards a gtx 1660. 

 

spending extra doesnt really help a whole lot.

ASRock B450 PRO4 says its supports 3200+ OC

Pro4 is good enough to hold 3600mhz cl16. 

 

that QVL is based around the earlier IMC of ryzen 1k and 2k. 

 

tho there really isnt a point spending more than 50$ 3200mhz cl16 kits as the performance is good and the gains past that are minor

I already have a case and rx 580 msi gaming x. im upgrading the platform now.

ah, for a sec i thought it was a new build. still suggest to save a little money and put it towards something else. as there is only minor gains.

Honestly with an rx 580 the difference in memory wont make a difference in performance. The performance difference between the diffrent cas speeds clock speeds is pretty minimal after you hit 3200 cas 16 and that is when the CPU is the bottleneck. With the rx 580 you will be GPU bottlenecked most of the time so you shouldnt need to worry a whole lot about the memory other than getting a decent priced 3200 hz kit. If you can find a 3600 mhz kit for a similar price then it wouldn't be a bad idea to get but I wouldn't go spending a ton on getting better memory than 3200 mhz.

i knew that memory only matters  for high end gpus. but  maybe next year if i feel is needed ill get next Mid range gpu from amd or the 5700xt one

I would still say that anything over 3200 mhz cas 16 is not worth it unless the price difference is small because the performance difference is small even with high end gpus.

The graphs I saw said it wasn’t.  Graphs can be exaggerated though.  What kind of difference?

[Midnitewolf]

Generally speaking for Ryzen 3000 you want 1:1 with the Infinity Fabric and lowest clocks possible so bang for buck your best bet is 3600 mhz CL 16.

 

If your on a budget I would recommend.

All the graphs I saw showed little improvement once you went above 3200 mhz ram. From 2133 to 3200 mhz ram is huge for ryzen but above 3200 you are hitting diminishing returns and it's not worth the extra money unless the price difference is small. Also most of those charts are with a 2080ti so lower end GPU's wont see as big of a difference.
