Ram support with asus maximus xiii hero

so im looking to buy a maximus xiii hero mobo and found the G.Skill Trident Z Royal quite nice

i then checked the compatibly list and saw there is only 3200 mhz G.Skill royal compatible within reasonable pricing

so my question is would 3200 mhz run fine with this mobo with a i9 10900k and a asus strix 3090 OC?

i also found a 3600 mhz version with timing 16-19-19-39 but the part number doesn't match the one on the asus website with these timings

Would i be able to use the ram xmp profile with the correct timing but not correct part number? 🙂 

EDIT:

PC is going to be used for gaming mainly

Here you go. 

 

This kit. Probably do 4000mhz on it's XMP timing set with a bit of training.

thanks but im looking for 32gb quad channel also wanted the royal series since i like the look of it. Im doing a full RGB watercooled PC so i kinda want the best looking parts 🙂 

Appreciate the help tho 🙂 

 

this is how the royal series looks like

This is a nice kit. Would go with this higher frequency, but 3200mhz is good, probably will OC up to 3600mhz with that timing set, maybe further. 

 

But yes. 16-16-16-36 or at 3200mhz CL14 kits are pretty fast too.

 

And 4 sticks is only dual channel. So running 2 sticks will be easier on the memory controller.

These is the exact rams im looking to get

says it supports Quad channel. If i put all 4 sticks in the mobo will it be used as dual or quad channel?

I read somewhere that quad channel gives a little performance boost vs dual

Thanks for the fast reply 🙂

As the amount of RAM channels is the matter on CPUs integrated memory controller, and i9 10900k has dual-channel ,the four sticks run dual channel.

For quad channel - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-channel_memory_architecture#Quad-channel_architecture

Short - quad is for workstations mostly..

I edit my posts more often than not

Ahh yea just looked it up i9 10900k only supports dual channel. Thanks for the reply

seems like only xeon and other really expensive cpu's supports quad 🙂

And the board would have 8 memory slots.

I have a pair of the B+W 16GTZKW's, the 3200 C14 kit.. they are ok. I don't know what they can do on their own, but they can for sure do 3800 14-14-14 with about 1.525v paired up in a mixed set. 1.5v @ 14-15-15, where my Royals will do 14-14-14 with 1.5v. I would imagine those to be similar to mine.

Oh ok 🙂

So there wouldn't be any performance difference between running 4x8 and 2x16 sticks in dual channel?

as i think i mentioned earlier the PC will be full rgb build with hardline loop so i dont mind paying a little extra for some more lights to blink lol

thats also a reason i kinda want 4x8 instead of 2x16 because of the extra rgb effect since the sticks looks so nice hehe 🙂

You can use either configuration. The performance will be similar. In some use cases 4x8gb is only but slightly better.

Sorry I was wrong.. the B+W does 3800 14-15-15-35 with 1.525v.

 

Bummer. I will try them on their own some time. I just assumed my Royals would be a better bin, so I haven't actually checked to see what they can do.. could have sworn they took less voltage on my 3600xt. My old settings don't exactly work with this CPU, I had to tighten subs up rather than loosen. Weird..

 

Anywhoo.. decent ram anyways.. good luck!
