Ryzen RAM compatibility

[William_D]

Hi.

What's the current situation with ryzen ram compatibility. I am buying a R7 1700, and want to use a 16gb kit with Dominator Platinum dims.

(cmd16gx4m2b3200c16) Will this work. Or are there still big problems with ram on ryzen?

 

Thanks in advance

Any DDR4 ram should work, just get something that's 3000mhz+ cause Ryzen loves fast ram. 

(And this should probably be moved to CPU,mobo,ram section).

Here is the list of compatible RAM from AMD as of June 2017.

Thanks, i will have a look. Will the ram that is not on this list just not work at all, or will it just have porblems? (if so what cind of porblems.)

I think that any ram should work but this is the 'official' list of ram that AMD has tested/verified/deemed compatible.

Agreed, I should've mentioned that in the post.

 

It is just an official list. Thanks for pointing that out.

I didn't do this for my build but MAKE SURE that the mobo your buying supports the high speed ram. Many of the b350 ones don't.

 

If you make the same mistake as I did, then you will have to run it at a slower speed (mine is 2933 or 2934). Not really a big deal though

[William_D]

ok, thanks

Yeah, i am buying a x370 so i should be fine.

All DDR4 will work at some speed. It's just that with some kits you will have a harder time reaching the advertised speeds, and may have to settle for less. 

That has become less of a problem with BIOS updates, so it is advisable to update your BIOS first thing, before tuning RAM and everything else.

RAM support is not really linked to the chipset, but to each manufacturer's design for each board.

Yeah, i have been reading around and it seams like i will be able to get 3000 on my 3200 kit. Not to bad.

And yes, my board supports 3200, i checked.

 

Thansk for the advice. Anything else i should know?

Nothing specific comes to mind, but any time Ryzen and RAM comes up I end up recommending this video

B350s support any speed. Even the highest

It is pretty trash, horrible value, bad VRM.

Which chip do you have?

Asus Strix X370-F is better.
