What RAM are you running with your Ryzen 5 1600 (and hopefully Asus ROG Strix B350-F)

[iSoldMum4GP]

Hi guys, back again for another stupid question...

 

Long story short;

1. We get sweet fuck all down here is AUS
2. All but 1 of the 3200mhz ram on the QVL for the Mobo I can actually buy in the store I'm purchasing from (I can get the Kingston HyperX Predator HX433C16PB3K2/16)
3. Would like to know what 3200mhz you're running with the 1600

So my questions are;

1. what 3200mhz RAM are you running on your 1600?
2. If you can find the exact name (e.g. Kingston HyperX Predator 16BG - HX433C16PB3K2/16, G.Skill 16G (2x8G) - F4-3200C16D-16GTZB PC4-25600) and post it below, that'd be great...

Cheers fellas.

A-data 4x4 sticks 16gb 3200mhz which is downclocked to 3000mhz -initially downclocked to 2666mhz but changed it in bios. I’m using the same chip as you do.

So you're saying they have more options, but only one they sell is on your board's QVL? If that's the case, you may be able to purchase something not on QVL and have it work just fine (better chance with updated bios). Ryzen works best with a single kit of 16GB (2x8GB) Single Rank containing Samsung B-Die chips. Most likely, for 3200MHz, you'll see kits containing B-Die as having a CAS Latency of 14. Example: F4-3200C14D-16GTZ. They'll also be expensive as hell because of their demand for Ryzen systems and ability to be overclocked nicely.

 

For the record, however, I use a G.Skill 3000MHz rated kit containing Hynix M-Die chips overclocked to 3200. It's timings are nowhere near as good as Samsung B-Die can achieve, but with a bios update, my board uses it without any serious problems. f4-3000c15d-16gvkb

 

I'll give you two URLs I use to cross reference model numbers with to see if it's known what chips are used. They mostly contain the same information, but the comments may contain new info.

Thanks mate, how would I check RAM to see if they contain the Samsung B-Die?

Take their model numbers and cross reference with the two URLs I listed.

Awesome, thanks mate!

What's the difference between single and dual ranked?

 

Another question;
I see alot of them have 15D, 16D, 17D etc. in their name, should I try to find a 14D that my store stocks, so will higher than 14D be acceptable

Single Rank means it only has chips on one side of the memory stick. Dual has chips on both sides.

 

That number represents the cas latency. When looking at 3200, 14 is most likely going to contain Samsung B-Die chips. Lower is better. Higher may contain lesser quality chips, Hynix, Micron, and may not work as well with Ryzen. They still may work, but may be limited to only running at 2666 or 2933MHz.
