Which ram for 5900X?

[Zowy1]

3200 CL16

3600 CL16

4000 CL18

 

The 4000Mhz speed worth the money over 3200mhz?

Maybe I want the G Skill Royal model.. it is good for overclock? maybe I buy lower speed and overclock it?

 

 

[BetteBalterZen]

What about G.Skills new 3600MHz CL14?

3600 cl16 would be your best bet.

4000 is a giant waste of money

No clue what they cost in your country. I live in Denmark and everything here is expensive af. We pay 25% tax on everything.

i'd avoid the cl18 4000 kit, cl16 3600 is the sweet spot, u can also get cl14 3200 and overclock it, or pay more for cl14 3600, whether or not it's royal doesn't matter, though gskill seems to have better general compatibility these days over other brands per buildzoid.

but 3600 CL16 is sold out and in my country it is expensive (same price as 4000 cl18)

some people say that the 4000 is good for ryzen and others say it is waste of money so.. 

CL14 is much better than CL16 for OC? I can buy 3200 and overclock it to 3800 maybe?

you could just get the cl18 4000 and downclock it, cl14 3200 cl16 3600 and cl18 4000 is similar.

 

If the cl18 4000 cost alot more than cl14 3200 go with the cheaper option.

 

Anything cl16 3200 could end up being a complete garbage bin.

Why? you can overclock the 3200 cl16 to 3600..

it is really improve the performance on ryzen? this latencies and speeds..

thats not guaranteed especially with some lower bins on zen, again it depends on the price difference and whether you wanna risk it not hitting 3600 at all, it's just not worth the risk for a 5900x imho.

But 3600 is really good improvement on 5900X over 3200?

cas latency helps more, it depends on what you are doing also, for gaming it only helps in certain situations, for work it likely does help. I'd guess the difference between a cl16 3200 kit vs a cl16 3600 kit is about 2-3% (slightly more if u tune the cl16 3600 even further), assuming the price difference is 40usd and ur build is 2k usd, it's up to you if it's worth it. I've had bad experiences trying to overclock cl16 3000/3200 ram kits by any decent amount.

It is some premium build.. I will buy 64GB so..

but 4000 CL18 costs 100$ more than 3200 CL14

Ok.. I read some reviews from people.. some people say the 3600 cl16 is the best sweet spot and better than 3200 CL14..

because it is expensive build.. not worth to pay 100$ more on 4000 cl18? the price is 520$

Don't just go with "oh I like this kit, it looks cool." Chose a motherboard, check its QVL and buy whatever is in there. Otherwise you risk not being able to run the memory on the advertised frequency and you will end up spending countless ours tinkering the BIOS in order to get it fixed. Sticking to the QVL is must particularly if you plan on populating all dimm slots with high density and high frequency memory modules.

mobo is X570 TAICHI

I can use in the future 128GB 3200 cl14 on this mobo?

what you recommend?

I can't recommend anything that is not in the QVL. You can see all the officially supported memory kits here:

this kit not appear... but many others not appear so... I dont know if it is critical

If it doesn't appear, then this means it is not validated as working. From what I saw there are only several high capacity and high frequency kits validated to run on this board. Whether that's critical or not depends pretty much on you. If you want to be sure that the memory you will be buying will work then yes, it is important that it is one of the kits in the QVL. If you want to tinker with the settings on your own if you buy something else and it doesn't work then that's fine as well. You just need to set your expectations correctly. There are countless threads on here of people buying whatever high density and high frequency kit they though looks nice or was on sale and later find out that their motherboard isn't able to run it at the advertised frequency.
