[SOLVED] Best RAM Kits and Should I Risk Not getting one on the QVL

[jbmerlin88]

So I have narrowed down my search to Four 64gb memory kits:

CMK64GX4M2D3600C18 - $292- 3600mhz and CL 18

BL2K32G36C16U4B- $347 - 3600mhz CL 16
$359- 3600mhz CL 16 but RGB

F4-3600C16D-64GTZN- $359 for 3600mhz CL 16 but less tight timings compared to Crucial

I will be running these off an x570 MSI MAG Tomahawk with the 5900x. Based off the above kits I know 3600mhz CL16 is the best to chose, but of the above mentioned the only one that seems to be on the QVL is the Corsair for $292. I have used g.skill in the past but never Crucial. It doesn't seem to many 64gb kits made it to the QVL. I know that list is to be taken with a grain of salt because you cannot test everything, and my instinct is telling me stick with the Crucial non-RGB with the tighter timings. The reviews are always good for crucial and it is always out of stock but that doesn't equate to it will work for me.

If anyone has any thoughts or experience with Crucial RAM I would love to hear it. If you have better suggestions for a 64gb kit I am also all ears.

I never pay attention to QVL on aftermarket mobos, especially when using "name brand" RAM.

qvl doesn't mean it won't work, it's just that they cannot test every ram stick out there. But only buy them in matched sets, together as a kit. putting several sticks you bought separately might not work properly if at all.

I just get the ram--in a matched kit-- of the type I need and never had any problems.
