(help) best RGB ram kit (white) if possible with best speeds ?? for my new build ;)

AMD 5900x 

ASUS Republic of Gamers Crosshair VIII Formula AM4 ATX Motherboard

I think the ones i have listed in my signature are not good. or not compatible so might have to return not sure yet still trying to figure it out .

If you enabled XMP and PC doesn't work, but it does with XMP disabled, it's 99% your CPU can't handle the 3600MHz. It happens very rarely, but since XMP is technically an overclock, it does sometimes. Best you can do in this case is return this RAM if you can (or sell it) and get 3200 CL14 RAM. That's about as fast as it gets without XMP.

i haven't started this build yet. i have the ram still in packaging as i do the rest of my parts , i just read 2 articles with issues on these new sticks, so trying to see if i can get more info on them .

Ok then, I haven't heard about these issues.

They should work fine. Where did you get the idea they're not good or not compatible? Sure, there are faster kits but you likely won't notice a difference either way. Also since you already have Corsair stuff you'll be using iCue, which can also control your RAM RGB. If you get something from G.Skill etc. they'll need additional software.

No point in returning stuff before even trying... Note that people are way more likely post to complain when stuff doesnt work then praise when they do work.

 

But for max performance, 3600MHz CL18 is unimpressive. Unless you're getting that board cheap (it's a Hero (wifi) with waterblock and 5Gbps LAN, yet MSRP is double of the Hero), there should totally be more money going to the memory if not the CPU as well

There are likely articles about every kit of RAM on the market about someone for whom it doesn't work. Nothing to worry about.

what's the best kit you think I should get for this build ? i prefer some rgb on it if possible if not don't care rather have best performance ?? thoughts
