Price dropped by a decent amount, was around 140+ before this.
C15 version, so may be able to OC/tighten timings beyond rated speeds which would be good for a Ryzen system.
CamelCamelCamel.
I guess the key words there are "up to". My experience being I can only run my 3466 b-die at 3200 with a 2700X and Asus X470 - despite many hours with dram calculator (random bsod's going any higher).
Hopefully we'll know more in 2-4 weeks though :)
Thats why I think 3600MHz is the best speed and new Ryzen will support higher memory speed than Ryzen+. According to this, https://wccftech.com/amd-ryzen-3000-cpus-zen-2-7nm-up-to-500…, it can support up to 5000 but I am taking 4000 to be safe.
Ryzen 7 2700x supports only 2933MHz according to AMD's website, so your 3200 is still very cool (u can still tighten the latency for going down to 3200)
Yeah I have really high hope for 3700x. Maybe it can hit 4.8GHz as leaked 😍, time will tell
3700x should hit 5ghz
3200MHz at cl14 is faster than 3600MHz at cl16. As always, latency is key before more hertz.
My b-die hits 3466 at cl14 on my MSI x470. Worth noting, the same sticks and cpu in a gigabyte board would not get past 3200 without memory errors.
@[Deactivated]: Gigabyte boards have been terrible for Ryzen memory. I've been putting up with a Gigabyte board for too long, going to switch soon.
We are happy to report that you can save some money by choosing a slower DDR4-2133 or DDR4-2666 memory, at least until DDR4-3200 or higher memory becomes more affordable. You lose practically no performance to slower memory on the Ryzen platform, when averaged across our CPU tests. The fastest memory configuration in our bench, DDR4-3200 CL14, is about 3.1 percent faster than the slowest DDR4-2133 configuration. In specific tests, the differences in performance can be larger than the average. WinRAR handles a 1.5 GB compression job 5 seconds faster on DDR4-3200 than DDR4-2133, for example.
The story repeats in our game-tests, where the biggest difference, all of 5.5 percent, takes place at the lowest resolution (1920 x 1080), while the difference is a meager 0.8 percent at 4K Ultra HD. It's important to point out here that at 1080p, games become more CPU-limited and faster memory is somewhat rewarding (again, 5.5 percent). At 4K Ultra HD, the game is more GPU-limited, and hence, the differences aren't as pronounced. We kept game settings constant at all tested resolutions. We didn't want to test on 720p resolution or lower because nobody with a Ryzen-powered machine will game on that resolution.

Wasted money on a gaming system other than narrow cases of specific at 1920x1080. And even then you're paying for a possibly unnoticeable 5.5% performance increase.
That money could be spent on GPU to get significant performance gains.
For most applications slower RAM with lower latencies performs the same as higher bandwidth RAM with longer latencies. From my own testing, and ss pointed out by you above, compression programs like Winrar and 7zip benefit from faster Ram. Also open world games like Skyrim and GTA 4/5 benefit (~5% improvement to framerate using DDR 3200 vs DDR 2400).
Biggest mistake I made was getting this kit when I first made my Ryzen in the very early days on an Asrock X370.
Ran at 2400 with XMP and now it's at 2666, but loosened timings which probably negates the speed.
I think this is ok on alternate boards though.
So can't get 3000 to work with your X370?
Unfortunately not. It just reboots and drops the speed back to defaults.
Annoyingly, the XMP profile recognises a specific kit that I think has 1 digit off this kit's part number, but it's not identical and doesn't allow it to run at anything higher than 2666mhz.
But, that's more of a negative for the Asrock X370 K4 Gaming mobo than this kit, as I know this works on others without issue.
It'd be nearly cheaper for me to buy a new mobo that's compatible with this kit than it would be to buy new memory at this point.
That's odd I have the slower version of this C16 3000 and it'll run 3200 in my MSI B450 board. Must be something with your particular setup
Yeah, it's the motherboard - Asrock X370 K4 Gaming.
If I knew back then what I know now, I'd never have gone with it.
It seems to be much more sensitive to memory than the likes of MSI and Asus.
I've just noticed a new BIOS version came out last week for it so my tone may change tonight after I try it out!
Bad luck for you, I've got the even lower end AB350 K4 gaming with Corsair DDR4-3000 C16 , RAM behaves fine with XMP profile.
AsRock were the same on their X99 platform boards. Asus & Gigabyte boards I owned would easily run RAM @ 3000-3300+, whilst the AsRock board struggled with most kits above 2800MHz, or it kept defaulting back to 2133.
I have a Asrock X370 Taichi running this RAM comfortably at 3000mhz.
The Asrock X370 Taichi isn't the same as the Asrock X370 K4 Gaming though unfortunately.
True. Have you got the latest bios?
@AdosHouse: I had, but I noticed yesterday that they released a new one this month, so I need to give that a shot!
@AdosHouse: Both without any luck.
I've tried using XMP/Auto, XMP/Corsair Profile (which it appears to be offering a profile for a totally different kit).
BIOS: https://imgur.com/JpxwoSi
CPU-Z: https://imgur.com/IT1eTM9
I've tried manually setting the timings to 16-18-18-18-36 and slightly looser.
Also tried raising the voltage a tiny bit as well.
Going looser with the timings to get an extra 200-300mhz probably isn't even worth it, if by some miracle it would actually boot at the higher speed.
I had the previous BIOS from December so I flashed the latest one from this month there last night and there's no difference.
Getting to the point where I dunno if I'm bothered with it anymore as I spend hours between the BIOS and POST screen and still always end up back at 2666mhz!
Pain in the backside! :)
No RGB, I am disappoint.
Oh. No. No, thanks.
I have this ram running at 3000mhz on a X399 Taichi board.
I use this on an Intel board, works fine at 3000 MHz
Pretty sure this is my kit that I bought off Amazon in April 2016 from a deal posted on Ozb for 92.94.
This still is a good price considering the amount it went up to for so long
I want to buy. But I'll be building my PC when Ryzen 3000 is in retail.
The problem is, I can't test the sticks for dead on arrival (I don't have a motherboard with DDR4).
What's the warranty situation on these? :\
After some research:
I might take the risk…
I say wait, prices will only be cheaper then, not more expensive.
Keep in mind the spot price for NAND and DRAM is dropping an is expected to bottom out in Q3 this year. In other words, these prices will continue to go down.
This is mostly due to a massive oversupply.
"This is mostly due to a massive oversupply." Why the oversupply now? For the past 2 years RAM prices were high because cell phones were gobbling up Ram chips. Aren't they using DDR4 anymore? Or is it that more factories are producing DDR-4 now than there were 2 years ago?
Hey so I want to wait next month for the next Ryzen's to come out, is this ram going to stay this price? If this was a sale, why is there no discount listed? Is this some kind of weird Amazon thing?
Can't answer your questions specifically.
But RAM prices are expected to drop: https://news.google.com/search?q=ram%20ddr4%20prices%20drop&…
Edit: see comment by mrhugo too
Anyone know if this would suit an ASROCK A320M-HDV mb?
I have 1x 8gb but want to upgrade.
Tks.
That motherboard uses DDR4, so it'll fit.
Are you looking at overclocking your RAM? If so, take time to research because AMD Ryzen boards are picky with RAM.
Thanks. I realised it would fit, but my question related to any other issues.
I THINK I read this motherboard doesn't allow overclocking but I'm not interested in that anyway.
Thanks.
Have a look on the ASrock site to see if its listed in the QVL.
https://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/A320M-HDV/index.asp#Memory
It's listed under Raven Ridge and Pinnacle Ridge, so it should run at the advertised speed.
Hi guys, my current pc is a 3yr old i5 6500 with 16GB ram. I can see that the memory usage on my 4k files is almost max when doing lumetri stuff on Ppro so am thinking to upgrade to 32GB ram. Question is….my current ram is 2x 8GB 2400 Mhz DDR4. If I get another 2 x 8GB 3000Mhz DDR4 to pair with this system, will this works?
It should work no problems.
Do you care about RAM speed?
New Ryzen 3000 series will support up to 4000 MHz ram so I think 3600MHz CL16 is a sweet spot for new pc buy unless someone wants to upgrade their ram for old Ryzen system
