Best RAM (16GB) for 3700X

[realhoneybadger]

What is the best RAM for the 3700X CPU?

 

I was about to buy the Trident Z Neo 16GB, but then the titles confused me. Some includes (AMD), some includes specific generations and all that confusing stuff .... Any suggestion on what should I get? Budget $130 (willing to go higher if justifiable).

 

Preferably with RGB because I am low and sad.

 

Cheers guys.

The cheapest 3000 or higher Mhz kit will work. If you want something that looks good get this

Just get any decent 3200 or 3600 kit 

If you want look at trident z 

Ram isn't "specifically" compatible with certain cpu's 

That was way back in the day

But that's not a 3600, does it matter? I heard AMD performs better with faster RAM?

Again, I am a newbie, please correct me if I am wrong.

The one you are talking about is pretty good and will work with your system.

Usually yes but the difference is very small for ryzen 3000

Yes they do 

They have multiple ccxs and the Interconnect so there is latency 

If you want as I said above 

Get a trident z kit at like 3200/3600 with decent cl latency

Btw, Tofu, I have spoken to you in this forum more than I have spoken to my mother in the past few days.

It's decent

It's not b die (if it was it would be 16-16-16) but it will work

Cheers guys.

Though I don't know what b-die is, I am assuming it would far exceed my budget.

Long story short 

It's better dram chips
