BL2K16G32C16U4BL
Should be Micron Rev-E
Pulled the trigger on these sticks from computer alliance with the PRESS20 Code. Free shipping.
Cheapest according to StaticIce: https://www.staticice.com.au/cgi-bin/search.cgi?q=BL2K16G32C…
Cheaper than cheapest on CamelCamelCamel?: https://au.camelcamelcamel.com/product/B083VMZX6F
Micron E seems to do well with OCing, they do a 3600 profile on the same RAM, so should be achievable.
Edit: seems the most recent copies of this RAM are single rank Micron B instead of dual rank Micron E, will have to see what version rocks up. My MB only lists the E on its QVL.
Higher speed but looser timings!
CL18-22-22-42
Also not sure what die it is.
Edit: For the RipJaws
I'm sorry this is going all over my head…
I'm not tech illiterate but haven't followed for a while…if I'm using 5600x…..will there be any difference between the linked Crucial or G-skill or even the Corsair or Adata below?
The g skill will be hynix and not very good timings. If you can set your own timings, the Ballistix will be better.
Yes there will be a difference, but the difference may be negligable, depending on what you are doing. We could be talking as little as 5fps difference in some games.
The ideal speeds for Ryzen are 3600mhz at CL 16 (First number generally most indicative of timings in the string of numbers).
These Crucial sticks have the cl16 but will need to be overclocked to reach that 3600mhz. Problem is, overclocking does not guarantee it will hit 3600 because it has been tested to run safely at 3200. This is where all the talk of dies come in, with their ability to overclock.
If you're not overclocking, look at those numbers. Closer to 3600mhz the better. CL16 and lower the better. They get expensive though
@JHBay: Right, I've read that 3600mhz is the sweet spot of Ryzen (at least 3rd gen) and that speed>timing so 3600 cl18 should technically be better than 3200 cl16?
Also if overclocking there no guarantee it will hold the same timings as stock speed? Ie. If overclock 3200 cl16, have to loosen timing probably close to cl18 anyway?
@fufufu: The calculation for timings in nano seconds is 2000 x timing / ddr_freq.
So they are actually both 10ns, essentially the same speed.
(3600 cl16 is 8.9ns)
For AMD, look up the infinity fabric clock
Yes, timings generally have to be loosened the higher the frequencies go.
You are best of buying 4x8gb of this since they are single rank ram and 4 single rank is better than 2 single rank ram
How much difference will that make though? I want to build an itx system so most likely will only have 2 slots…
Not necessarily true, this one depends on your motherboard and the way the ram dimms are set up (topology).
Daisy Chain won't benefit from the extra sticks.
T Topology should benefit from more.
Find your board here and scroll to memory topology: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wmsTYK9Z3-jUX5LGRoFn…
@JHBay: Edit: sorry was looking at wrong board.
Gigabyte 550I aorus pro itx:
memory topology is: direct (dual-slot, 1 X DIMM per channel)
@JHBay: Yeah if it is single rank, then you want 4 sticks, dual rank then 2 sticks are okay
The one in here is micron e die single rank, so 4 sticks would give you the optimal performance for ryze
Youre looking about 5% difference i think
Don't forget they got the Corsair RAM for the same exact price and discount

Is the Corsair a better selection here? Thanks!
Oooh no easy answer here.
Possibly?
Timings are 16-20-20-38 which are not bad, but there seems to be uncertainty what die this is.
Could be Hynix C-Die, Samsung B-Die (Regarded as best) or Samsung C-Die
I personally would prefer Micron Rev-E over Hynix C or Samsung C, but there is a chance these are Samsung B-Die.
If you aren't planning on overclocking, these are still pretty good.
Thanks for the reply!
I've taken a chance and pulled the trigger. :)
@chickens: Thanks @hjhj. It's ok. It'll be a huge upgrade from my current i5 2500k 9 year old system :)
how does this compare to the ADATA for $25 more if I have the extra to spend?
https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/32GB-DDR4-ADATA-2x16GB-3600Mhz-X…
Didn't you read what they said about having the largest RGB surface….how is that not worth $25?!?!?
But I too would like to know if I'm missing something because this quote from Tomshardware seems like it should be a pretty good performer with those 3600 timings. Anyone who has kept up with modern trends want to weigh in here?
"Fear not, though, as Adata has programmed two XMP profiles into the Spectrix D60G. The primary profile enables the memory to operate at DDR4-3600 with 14-15-15-35 timings and a voltage of 1.45V. "
Hmm…their review says 'subpar AMD performance' though…but I thought those timing should give excellent AMD performance?
Further edit: Then they go on to say that it had the best gaming performance for both AMD and Intel….bizarre review IMO.
https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/adata-xpg-spectrix-d60g…
Also this is for the 16GB 2x8GB kit, which is single ranked where I imagine the 2x16GB sticks are dual ranked.
Don't know much about these sticks sorry, but skimming some reviews these could be B-Die (the best stuff) and they look very… bright…
If you can afford it and love the lights, go for it. I haven't checked camelx3 or Static Ice for them though.
Can i use this instead of 32GB (2x16gb) DDR4 2666MHz
Should be fine, make sure you turn XMP on in your Bios or you won't get the advertised speeds.
Do thes play well with Aura Sync software from Asus? Anyone know?
The ebay listing says "Ideal for laptop gamers", so is this SO-DIMM?
Don't know why they have that in the info for the product but I am 99% sure these are UDIMM.
My ocing experience with 3000MHz crucial ballistix sport 2x8gb is 4733MHz boot into windows in dual channel. I expect single channel to do 5000+. Running everyday at 3600cl16. I've just bought sport 2x16 3200 and expect 4500+ on oc. I would recommend this kit for a beginner overclocker
What CPU are you pairing yours with?
Ryzen 3600 now upgraded to 3900x
Hi all, I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to the various types of RAM available, so I'd appreciate some advice. I just bought the Dell XPS 8940 per this deal and I was wondering if 16Gb of this ram would be compatible with the existing 2x8GB, DDR4, 2933Mhz RAM it comes with to get to 32gb in total? I was reading that the RAM is actually 3200Mhz but it is limited to 2933mhz.
It'd be kinda weird and inefficient and your computer could just say no thanks. Likely not worth the hassle either.
This listing is for 2x16gb, which is a different size from your 2x8gb you are getting. They can work together but there may be weird bugs and issues that pop up when using mixed ram kits that is hard to identify and fix.
Yes, your slowest stick of RAM brings all others down to its speed, essentially wasting the money you are forking out for the faster advertised speeds.
Thanks for explaining. So i should try and grab some RAM from the same manufacturer as the one that produced the RAM for Dell to insert into my PC in 2x8Gb, rather than a single 16Gb stick from another manufacturer? Finding an exact match could be tricky, as I understand it is not so easy to determine where Dell sources all their parts from or if they make them themselves. Is there a sort of middle of the road option that would be less likely to have compatibility issues?
Yeah it would probably be tricky finding the exact same ones, so replacing the whole kit might be a safer bet (not using the Dell ones at all). If you do buy more ram, you could always try mixing it and seeing if it works.
Depending on what you are trying to do, the ram you get with your computer might be adequate. Or you can read up a bit about how to overclock Ram and give that a go. This might void your warranty though so be careful.
@JHBay: I found it. Would you believe Dell wants $277.09 for two 8Gb sticks of this RAM? This is not cost effective at all and is really a form of price gouging. A tough situation to navigate, considering the choice between that and completely replacing the RAM with something that would invalidate the warranty from day 1…
@JHBay: Overclocking ram can never void your warranty, unless you burn it out by increasing the vcore, which a novice wouldnt know how to do anyway. Just tightening timings, and increasing the clock wont be an issue, and also wont void warranty.
damn should I buy or wait for a good deal on 3600mhz for ryzen 5600x…
edite: actually can have the ripjaws for same price. no RGB but faster clock speed….
