@Gamerpro: AMD CPU's do prefer - and do perform better with - faster RAM; 3600 MT/s (MHz), CL18 would be a good start point, CL16 would be worth saving the extra it costs to get, too.

I frequently edit any posts you may quote; please check for anything I 'may' have added.

 

Did you test boot it, before you built in into the case?

WHY NOT...?!

PC Part Picker can help direct you to those retailers that have stock available.

I'm in the UK, too & am able to find outlets for mst parts/items that are not plagued by shortage/supply issues.

Why do you 'need' 4000 MHz (MT/s ) CL 14 RAM...?

 

EDIT:

That RAM doesn't scream "made in large batches" to me & I would expect it to be out of stock more often than more mainstream SKU's at 3200 or 3600 MHz (MT/s).  That said, that RAM sells for north of £400 a kit.

 

EDIT 2:

Amazon, of late... previously Ebuyer.com was my go-to supplier.

I have a 32G kit with my 5950x that runs at 3600Mhz with 18-19-19-19-39 XMP timings, manually tweaking the timings gets me 16-19-13-12-30 stable. I reverted back to XMP because I couldn't be arsed re-doing the timings after endless bios updates on my board. The faster timings made absolutely no discernible different in day-day use. Some benchmarks were a few percent lower but you don't play benchmarks 🙂

Agreed, even longer answer: go on YouTube and look at some comparison tests. you won't see any improvement in game FPS by upgrading your ram speed or CL rating.

 

I recently upgraded from 16GB 3000mhz to 32GB 3600mhz for no reason other than I was bored one day and just ordered some ram.

I cant see any difference in gaming.

In some productivity situations there could be some benefit but not in gaming
