Question Em building my first ever system what ram should i chose for x470 taichi ?

[Alexei Orkus]

Processor 2700x
Mother board x470 taichi
Em confused about choosing the right ram for it?
Ive searched a lot and read a lot
People suggest 3200mhz cl 14 Samsung bdie

What i want is 32 gb of ram @Speed of 3200mhz
According to my research people have suggested going with two rams bcos my system is dual channel
So i guess 2x16gb ?
Here are few picks

G.SKILL TridentZ Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Intel Z370 Platform Desktop Memory Model F4-3200C14D-32GTZSW https://m.newegg.com/global/in/product/N82E16820232379

G.SKILL TridentZ RGB Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Desktop Memory Model F4-3200C14D-32GTZR https://m.newegg.com/global/in/product/N82E16820232560

Plz suggest me some more ?

2 x 16gb is correct.
Dual channel is all you can use and a 2 stick kit will be cheaper than 4.
2 sticks are easier for a motherboard to manage.
Not all DDR4 ram will be supported.

But, take the time to verify that the ram you select is compatible with your motherboard.
1. Look at the motherboard ram support QVL list.
It lists all the ram that has been tested on the motherboard and is supported.

2. The ram QVL list may not get updated. Go to a ram web site and access their ram selection app for your motherboard.
You will get a list of supported ram kits.

It makes sense to buy ram you know will be supported if you have an issue.

Have you tested it with x470 Asrock taichi?

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

No but it was designed and optimized for Ryzen , you can read it on the Gskill site.

The "size" listed there is the capacity per DIMM. In another column it lists how many DIMMs are supported for that kit. So a Size of 16GB and a DIMM Socket Support of 2 would correspond to 2x16GB.
