Ryzen memory

[ariaholemes]

After some advices and got some extra budget from my company here`s the list i`m probably to buy, hope i can get some advices before i buy them.

CPU AMD R7-1800X 

Motherboard MSI X370 XPOWER Titanium or ASUS Crosshair VI Extreme 

GPU GTX Titan Xp (Save a lot budget from TR4 TO AM4 i finally can get high end graphics card , really appreciate the advice from you guys )

I heard that Ryzen has some memory issue so i hope can get some recommendation brand of memory and cooling system

Also two motherboads model is select by my colleague , it`s hard to select they both looks great .

Sorry for so many questions , and thanks for you guys advices

What are you using this PC for? Chances are that the Titan Xp is not needed when you can get a GTX 1080Ti for significantly less.

1080TI over the titan X, unless you specifically need the titan X for a certain task

Each of these kits are 16GB (2x8GB) 3200 and are on each board's QVL. Each contain Samsung B-Die, almost guaranteed to work.

G.Skill Ripjaws V F4-3200C14D-16GVK

G.Skill Trident Z F4-3200C14D-16GTZ*

*And several different color variants with same model number plus KW, KY, KO, SW, and SK

Please get Crosshair.

MSI Xpower is such garbage, it is mobo that would be competitive maximally in B350.

MSI X370 XPower is the worst motherboard up to date in its category.

I have the CH6 with an 1800x and its a solid board and was a breeze overclocking I would read up on MSI, although I have the MSI Pro Carbon with my 1600x and have had zero problems board related they seem to get an awful lot of negative posts.

FYI, X370 XPower has VRM adequate for higher low-end with the price of high end.

The XPower is even bigger garbage than the carbons

You can also get the GTZB model, which is $10 cheaper and then tighten the timings so that it's equivalent to the GTZ.

 

Edit: Both of these are the cas 16 models.

 

GTZ: 16-16-16-38

GTZB: 16-18-18-38

While they may work and may be slightly cheaper, they're not Samsung B-Die which are highly preferred in Ryzen builds and can be overclocked easier. Not to mention, they're on both boards' QVL. Safer bet to spend a bit more on something already proven to work.
