Ryzen 7 ram compatibility

[Cl1362]

Trident z RGB

3000mhz

 

I read some articles on compatibility with 3200 

But not with 3000mhz

 

Anyone have any input or info with recent bio updates

Depends on the motherboard. Ryzen itself is compatible with most RAM, but the motherboard's memory configuration matters too; I couldn't get 3200MHz stable at all on my ASRock X370 Killer SLI/AC but on my Asus Crosshair VI Hero it's completely fine - only difference is the motherboard, everything else remained the same.

I know it doesn't like 3000mhz and is generally limited to 2933mhz, I highly doubt it would allow for higher than 3000mhz in most instances good board or not given how picky those chips are.

Has nothing to do with "liking" 3000MHz. Ryzen doesn't have the 3000MHz strap - closest to it are 2933MHz and 3066MHz.

Can you give me a model number on the Trident Zs you're looking at and/or considering? Whatever model you go with, I'd try and make sure it's CL14, as that at high speed (typically) ensures that you're getting Samsung B-Die.

From what I've seen, you get better performance increases from low latency ram than higher speed ram once you get it up to 3000mhz.

 

Good video here showing the performance benefit of lower latency.  Along with some references to some good guides/resources on getting your timings down and stable.
