Hi, I'm updating muy system to a ryzen 2600, a GA-AX370M-Gaming 3, and 2x8 Gb Corsair Vengeance LPX.
The thing Is that i dont know if I should choose a 3000 MHz cl 15 (U$D 246), a 2400 MHz cl 14 (U$D 297) or a 2133 MHz cl 13 (U$D 320).
Prices are from muy country converted to U$D for convenience.
Thanks.
 
1. Make sure whatever you buy is on the support list ... Ryzen CPUs are a bit fussy ... https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-AX370M-Gaming-3-rev-1x#support-doc

2. Most benchmarks I have seen indicate that Ryzen is more sensitive to speed than latency, so I would consider 3000 MHz CL 15 (helps that it is the cheapest).

Just make sure it is compatible ... I got Corsair Vengeance 2666 since I had used Vengeance in another machine and it ended the sticks I got had a different chip (and unsupported part number), so I can only run mine at 2133 or I blue screen. Darn.
 


Thanks! I will.

What is the difference between Raver Ridge, Pinnacle Ridge and Summit Ridge?
