Is this RAM good for the 2700X?

G.Skill Trident Z RGB 16GB (2x 8GB) DDR4 3600Mhz Memory.

Model: F4-3600C17D-16GTZR

It says it is optimized for Ryzen, although there aren't much reviews on it for me to settle on it, so I'm curious if this is the best RAM to get since it's at 3600mhz and 16-18-18-38 Latency.

 

Or should I just get the G.Skill Flare X 16GB (2x 8GB) DDR4 3200Mhz Memory Black instead?

I'm open to all opinions, so feel free to give any extra info if you want.

Trident z is the catch all, basically good for any CPU. That kit specifically looks pretty great, since ryzen loves high speed ram.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

thanks man, if you dont mind i need abit of help on something. For the RAM model, F4-3600C17D-16GTZRX, it specifics a latency of 16-18-18-38 on the store page.

 

However, on my motherboard memory compatibility page (X470 STRIX -F), the memory states a timing of 18-22-22-42? Does this just mean that I need to overclock it to get the 16-18-18-38 timings?

The QVL isn't perfect, and there's probably another kit of Trident z that has those timings, so you can try to get the timings manually but it should still work out just the same.

@subrooz  How much does that kit cost?  I wouldn't buy a 3600MHz kit unless it is also Samsung b-die.  I have the TridentZ 3600C15 kit which is b-die and it runs great.

the ram you recommended to me unfortunately is out of stock everywhere here for some reason, so do you think I should just opt for the Flare X 3200, rather than a 3600 that isn't B Die?

most of the flare x 3200 can oc to 3466 without problem, likely 3600 with a little extra voltage, i've seen ppl run it at cl15 3600 just fine. (they might be the same kit, just different xmp profiles)

Do you mind if I ask why does Ryzen need high RAM speeds? since I planned on going for 2933 for the 2700x

The technology they use to "glue" cores together needs a high speed connection, aided by ram. The faster the ram, the faster the cores can communicate.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

The Infinity Fabric, the communication bus between each CPU core module, runs at the same speed as the DRAM frequency.

Not only that, other internal CPU components are also sync'ed with the memory speed, including the CPU's L3 cache, and parts of the PCI-E bus, etc.

I can try to find the exact part number for you, but if you wanna search in the meantime it's a TridentZ 3600CL15 kit.  All 15s.
