I was looking for this exact RAM for some time to put in my build. Cheapest I have seen in recent times.

For those looking for an AMD optimised version of the same thing newegg has it for $255. imho with newer boards this is a non-issue.

https://www.newegg.com/global/au-en/g-skill-32gb-288-pin-ddr…

here is a handy chart for AMD users to lookup their processor. Both models listed in original and newegg deal are compatible and essentially identical. Most newer boards will also have compatibility / tuning for both.

          You did get lucky, my 3200 won't even boot at 3200. Have the same sticks in an identical machine and they do boot at 3200 fine. Even at 3000 they're unstable.

      Any tips or good guides on OCing ram? Never something I've really looked into over just going for XMP. I had the set in this deal but just upgraded to the 3600 C16 Neo's (F4-3600C16D-32GTZN) with Samsung B die. I'm running 8700K cpu and Z370-I itx mobo. Edit: found this guide https://github.com/integralfx/MemTestHelper/blob/master/DDR4…

        The bottom line is that above 3000 overclocking RAM doesnt really do much for you. That money is spent almost always better on any other part (Better graphics, better SSD, Better Processor etc.). If money is not a concern and everything else is already specced out, then there are faster speeds you can buy stock.

        Loads of speed comparisons on youtube.

        • elli0t on 31/05/2020 - 10:56

          I have a 1080ti and run a 165Hz monitor, so trying to push as many fps as I can. Will upgrade GPU when the next gen of gpus arrive. Already have 970 Evo Plus nvme and the 8700K is still pretty decent.

            @elli0t: With that processor any RAM above 2666 will not give you much more. Your CPU will lag behind. Like I said, its always a better idea to upgrade any other component first.

            e.g. in my build I have a Ryzen 3900x running on a X570, NVME dual M.2 striped for higher speeds. Even with my setup instead of buying faster RAM Its better to put that money into the graphic card. I was initially looking to buy a 5700xt / 2070 super etc. and 3600 or higher RAM 16x2 kits. But going 2080 for the card and 3200 CAS16 will give me much better performance. Anything 16x2 at CAS lower than 16 or speeds higher than 3200 starts getting ridiculously expensive.

              @ozBFM: I got my F4-3600C16D-32GTZN kit for $282 so wasn't a big cost for me over the 3200 in this deal. It retails for much higher though. I might upgrade CPU and mobo soon, but was going to wait for the new Ryzen gen to drop. New Intel Z490 is also tempting (for gaming) but I think it will be a dead-end platform/socket once they move to <14nm.

      • Void on 31/05/2020 - 12:15

        Now are you sure it's B-die? What timings? Mine were reporting as B-die in Thaiphoon Burner but were actually Samsung C-die due to not having flat timings and the lot code was C-die.

        • elli0t on 31/05/2020 - 12:29

          Not 100% sure. Stock timings are 16-16-16-36. How do I check the lot code? Are you sure you have the same as mine and not the F4-3600C16D-32GTZNC? There's a C on the end of the 16-19-19-39 version.

          • Void on 31/05/2020 - 12:38

            @elli0t: Ok that's definitely B-die. Timings that flat are B-die. I had G.Skill Value RAM, totally different but there were also some Trident Z kits like that.

      • integral on 01/06/2020 - 10:00

        It's a sin to have B-die and a 1 DIMM per channel motherboard and not overclock. That being said, you'll probably cap out at 4000MHz because of you're running dual rank sticks, but you should have a small performance improvement.

        If you want someone to help you with RAM OC, I'd recommend joining the Overclocking Discord.

    • bargaingod123 on 11/06/2020 - 14:35

      I just got the item (price matched with local stock), Thaiphoon burner told me it is Samsung B-die. I haven't tried to overclock it but just for everyone's infomation

    • Freezies on 31/05/2020 - 04:04

      Hardly a fair comparison. Corsair Vengeance are ALWAYS cheaper than TridentZ because of the RGB. You should compare prices with the equivalent which is the Vengeance Pro RGB.

      The TridentZ's are cheaper.

      • jztilly on 31/05/2020 - 09:35

        i got the 32GB rgb pro for basically the same price a couple weeks back:

        • ozBFM on 31/05/2020 - 10:20

          Yeah the RGB Pro from corsair from that deal should be similar to this RAM. I just wanted G.Skillz because I find them "prettier" to be honest. T-Fury has a 32GB kit much cheaper which should pretty much do the same thing too in terms of functionality.

          • Freezies on 31/05/2020 - 18:09

            @ozBFM: Function wise yeah. I wasn't particularly keen on RGB but I got these and once you see the programmed lights in effect, you can kind of see the appeal. Purely comsmetic.

  • Godric on 31/05/2020 - 00:34

    Would this kit work @ 3200mhz on B450 chipset?

    Also I've gathered the '32gtzrx' skew are more ideal for Ryzen how ever I've also seen reviews confirming these work well with Ryzen anyway

    • xrailgun on 31/05/2020 - 00:44

      depends mostly on your CPU, AMD Zen has memory controllers in the CPU not the chipset.

      Anyway it should, I'm running mine (2x8GB) at 3200CL16 using 1usmus settings on my launch batch 1600, which is the worst possible.

      • chartparker on 31/05/2020 - 07:10

        I've had to run mine at 3000mhz with my 1600. Anything higher is unstable. Good enough for me anyway

    • runswithfork on 31/05/2020 - 01:41

      You can always go to your motherboard maker’s website to check the QVL doc for that board just to be sure. It’ll tell you which RAM brands and models have been tested and working on that mobo.

    • jonathonsunshine on 31/05/2020 - 08:10

      I have this on MSI Mortar Max b450, XMP/AMP profile at 3000mhz worked fine, I "overclocked" the ram by selecting 3200 manually and leaving everything else on Auto, I've run it that way since, about 8 months, never had any issues. this in with a 3600, and past month, a 3900x

      I believe Ryzen is getting a lot more forgiving with ram. And "fast" ram seems to be getting cheaper, because a lot more new builds are AMD where intel, i hear it legit just doesn't matter if you use 2133mhz

    32GB of ram is expensive no matter what, so you may as well get the fastest.

  • camshandez on 31/05/2020 - 11:09

    Hoping someone can clarify the benefits of each way.

    4x16GB or 2x32GB?

    is there better performance a certain way when achieving 64GB RAM? (video editing and VFX work on 4K RAW footage, some gaming as well) I do get that using 32GB sticks allows 128GB in future, however, don't think I'll need to go that high in the current build.

    paired with i7 9700K (yeah no hyperthreading cry) and RTX 2070 8GB

    • ozBFM on 31/05/2020 - 11:26

      Mostly comes down to price. 2x32 kits much more expensive, however they allow much more ability to expand. Most boards and newer processors will go upto 128GB. Its actually better to buy a lower CAS (e.g. 14) higher speed 2x16 than buying a higher cas 2x32.

      Honestly, if you are not virtualizing your machine in any way, anything above 64gb is overkill (opinions vary on this).

    • mauricem on 31/05/2020 - 11:43

      More likelihood of problems with 4 slots filled than 2.

      I was going to get 2x8 for now and get another pair later on when prices drop but my research showed timings and stability would be be better with only 2 sticks vs 4.

      Not to say 4x8 wouldn't have been stable, just that chance of problems are greater.

      I went with 2x16 corsair vengeance for $211 from Amazon.

      • ozBFM on 31/05/2020 - 11:55

        Yeah that 2x16 is a good deal too for corsair. Was very tempted, but needed the pretty lights!

      • Duckman on 31/05/2020 - 15:41

        Recently I was informed here on OzBargain that with Ryzen, filling all the RAM slots was much better in terms of performance. Is that actually incorrect?

        • integral on 01/06/2020 - 10:21

          Potentially but not always.

          16GB sticks usually means dual rank with 8Gb ICs but can be single rank with 16Gb ICs.
          32GB sticks are currently only dual rank with 16Gb ICs.

          4x16GB with 8Gb ICs is 2 ranks per channel and with both channels filled you get 4 ranks total.
          4x16GB with 16Gb ICs is 1 rank per channel which means 2 ranks total.
          2x32GB with 16Gb ICs is 2 ranks per channel but with only 1 channel filled you still get 2 ranks total.

          How many ranks you have total is important because of rank interleaving which gives a slight performance bump.

          But with higher density ICs you also have higher tRFC which is one of the timings that have a noticeable impact on performance.

          Chances are 4x16GB will perform better than 2x32GB and will usually overclock better as 8Gb ICs overclock better than 16Gb ICs.

    I have the 16GB kit of 3000mhz CL16 at 3400Mhz CL16 (and tighter primary and secondary timings then stock). I kind of want 32GB but i don't inherently need it and i want it to overclock (as I find it fun).

    I don't think these will clock up much higher then stock if the previous comments is anything to go by.

      Well then your next RAM is going to be 2400MHz green PCB. It's so satisfying to overclock. I got my 2666C19 green PCB kit to 3333C16 at 1.35V, what an improvement.

          Not luck, have seen many cases of doing better with Samsung C-die, some getting to 3600 at 1.28V. It's a ridiculous die, but the let down is the primary and tertiary timings which suck.

        It can run above 2666, 2666 is just the max before needing to enable A-XMP. After 3400MHz however it becomes silicon lottery, most chips will need to increase VDDG and SOC voltage to get FCLK above 1800MHz.
