I want to buy a new motherboard (the ASUS ROG STRIX Z370-G GAMING) and i was wondering what RAM would be the best for that motherboard. Anyone here who can help finding the best compatible 16gb ddr4?

Any RAM is compatible. 

 

Just literally get anything. Intel doesn't care about clock speed, so literally just pick a set you like.

Want to know which mobo to get?

Spoiler

Choose whatever you need. Any more, you're wasting your money. Any less, and you don't get the features you need.

 

Only you know what you need to do with your computer, so nobody's really qualified to answer this question except for you.

I just recently bought this (amazon link) and it works wonderfully and would work with that motherboard. It has a high clock speed, looks cool (If you care about that thing), and is from a reputable brand.

Go to Asus their website, on there to the page for that motherboard, then look for the QVL list =) everything needed to know is listed in there.

 

Main System:

Anghammarad : Asrock Taichi x570, AMD Ryzen 7 5800X @4900 MHz. 32 GB DDR4 3600, some NVME SSDs, Gainward Phoenix RTX 3070TI

 

System 2 "Igluna" AsRock Fatal1ty Z77 Pro, Core I5 3570k @4300, 16 GB Ram DDR3 2133, some SSD, and a 2 TB HDD each, Gainward Phantom 760GTX.

System 3 "Inskah" AsRock Fatal1ty Z77 Pro, Core I5 3570k @4300, 16 GB Ram DDR3 2133, some SSD, and a 2 TB HDD each, Gainward Phantom 760GTX.

 

On the Road: Acer Aspire 5 Model A515-51G-54FD, Intel Core i5 7200U, 8 GB DDR4 Ram, 120 GB SSD, 1 TB SSD, Intel CPU GFX and Nvidia MX 150, Full HD IPS display

 

Media System "Vio": Aorus Elite AX V2, Ryzen 7 5700X, 64 GB Ram DDR4 3200 Mushkin, 1 275 GB Crucial MX SSD, 1 tb Crucial MX500 SSD. IBM 5015 Megaraid, 4 Seagate Ironwolf 4TB HDD in raid 5, 4 WD RED 4 tb in another Raid 5, Gainward Phoenix GTX 1060

 

(Abit Fatal1ty FP9 IN SLI, C2Duo E8400, 6 GB Ram DDR2 800, far too less diskspace, Gainward Phantom 560 GTX broken need fixing)

 

Nostalgia: Amiga 1200, Tower Build, CPU/FPU/MMU 68EC020, 68030, 68882 @50 Mhz, 10 MByte ram (2 MB Chip, 8 MB Fast), Fast SCSI II, 2 CDRoms, 2 1 GB SCSI II IBM Harddrives, 512 MB Quantum Lightning HDD, self soldered Sync changer to attach VGA displays, WLAN

I'll be the one who says "WRONG"... Asus Moatherboards are quite picky with the ram, if you want to run it at specified speeds. And due to own experience, you do feel a difference... first had ram in my system running at 1600... the new one ran at 2133 while the I5 3570k was said to only support 1600... (DDR3). Well it was a speed boost.

2400MHz will be a good balance. Only Ryzen favours fast ram speeds. Intel, not so much.

I would go for something like 2666 MHz. All of the compatible DDR4 RAM modules can be found on the ASUS product support page of the motherboard:

Just watch out that the motherboard(Z370-G) does not have any RGB headers. I bought one for my brother and he had to buy a separate RGB controller.

Those 3200 MHz RAM modules are indeed compatible with your motherboard.

If you mainly use this system for games then I would definitely not go any higher than 3200 MHz. However if you do intensive simulations/rendering then you might benefit from an even higher RAM clock speed.

 

From personal experience I can also confirm the Azerty.nl is a decent web store.

 

P.S. Kom je uit Nederland/België? :)

It's really up to you, there's the aesthetics of each ram you may want to have in mind, the sweet spot for performance is around 3000mhz ~ 3200mhz to grant you extra fps and more importantly more stable minimums.

 

You can if you want to try overclocking a cheaper 2400mhz 2666mhz module to reach the 3000mhz and 3200mhz margins, it's just hard and worksome so mostly the convenience of having a XMP profile ready is worth the expense if you want the best performance.

 

Then again this is having mind the i5 8600K at 5ghz or i7 8700 / 8700K as the lower chips won't benefit as much from fast ram.
