Is anyone using Ryzen with 64GB of ram? Need to know.

[peabody505]

So I've got me an Asus Prime x370-Pro and a Ryzen 1800x. I'm currently using this Ballistix Tactical 16GB kit, but only because all my other ram doesn't work with Ryzen and this board. Is there anyone out there using a 64GB kit (4x16GB) with the Prime x370-Pro, or really any Ryzen board?

 

I'd check the QVL but it's not reliable seeing as a couple of my other kits are on this list and they don't work with the board.

 

*edit* Please don't just tell me I should stick with 16 or 32GB. I've upgraded from a 64GB machine to this one, and I need a kit that works with Ryzen. I'm not using this just for gaming FYI.

Unless you're utilizing the whole 64GB, I wouldn't bother spending an obscene amount of money when you could get 16/32GB of faster RAM that will be fully utilized.

I need my 64GB. I recently upgraded from a machine that had 64GB in it, and the only reason I'm not using it right now is because of the weird compatibility of Ryzen. It's not a question of if, but which one.

I wouldve just bought 32 or 16gb ram.

Well Corsair Vengeance at 2933mhz I managed to have 32gb running on my Asus board.

Do the kits you have not work with the board because of frequency or just won't work at all even when running at the low clock speeds that ryzen is fine with?

They're just not compatible, it's not about clock speed. Just Ryzen compatibility crap.

Ryzen has massive issues with double banked ram and using all 4 sticks, a combo you should avoid for the meantime imo, saying not to tell you that would be asking us to lie. Its a new platform and it's going to take time for all the issues to be ironed out

Probably shouldn't have gotten ryzen if you needed 64+ GB then...

Very few people on this forum have 64GB or more so I highly doubt you will find anyone who has tried a kit with ryzen.

The best you can do is just buy many different ones and test them all and return what doesn't work.

There are pepole out there(Media creators Mostly)that need 64gb of ram but I doubt the OP really needs it.Ableton plus 100 plugins barely makes a dent in Ram.But there are pros who need 64gb

 

Op would you mind telling us what your doing

Multiple threaded simultaneous video encoding and streaming. Live video production.

 

*edit* Let me clarify: I ran a live mixed news show a while back, and I'm gearing up to produce a community CS:GO tournament. These productions use multiple camera inputs, graphics processors, screen capture sources. We cut it all together with vMix and CasparCG for graphics. Occasionally we'll render some After Effects comp on the fly if we really need it.

Have you found a solution to your problem? I need 64gb too..

You should've gotten threadripper because it is built for such use, 4 16gb sticks is the worst combo, even Crosshair 6 Hero would have problems.

I haven't bought the pc yet  but the threadripper looks a bit expensive, power hungry and oversized for my needs. I am thinking about the intel 7820x.

Have you made sure you're on the latest BIOS? I'm running 32GB without an issue on that board.

intel 7820x performs worse/on par with R7.

Threadripper more power efficient than intel, especially Skylake-X

We are speaking about ryzen and 64 gb = 4*16gb modules.

I need the pc for work and ryzen is more efficient than intel  for what??? The 7820x is better than ryzen 1800x and it can handle 128gb of memory. Thread ripper has more cores but it's too expensive and it's good only if you do cpu rendering and anyway i can't find a motherboard for less that 400$...

I changed my mind and i bought a 1950x

I run 64GB on the Asus Crosshair VI Hero and getting it to just 2,666 took 3 months.  I have run nearly every test bios out there with numerous settings.  I have booted near 2800mhz but nothing higher and nothing stable over 2666.  I unfortunately preordered everything before the full understanding of what Ram modules played best with the Ryzen were.  G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 64GB (4 x 16GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) F4-3200C16Q-64GVK  then ram prices went nuts likely due to collusion and not due to the memory needed for cellphones like we were told.  Sure enough there is already an investigation into it.  So maybe I will get a better set of ram for the system in the near future.
