Setup: MSI B450 Tomahawk, Ryzen 7 2700x
This has been driving me up the wall with indecision. As I've read, Ryzen likes Samsung b-die memory and may not have stable overclocks with Hynix ones. This apparently was a bigger issue with Ryzen 1st gen, but is it really necessary for 2nd gen with all the BIOS updates? I am eyeing a 2x8gb DDR4 G.Skill Flare X 3200mhz CL16 kit ( F4-3200C16D-16GFX ) which apparently isn't b-die. B-die memory where I live is significantly more expensive and runs out of stock all the time. Will I be able to run it stably at the advertised speed just fine, or should I make the extra effort and get specific b-die memory?
In short, can I just get a cheaper 3200mhz 16GB CL16 kit, or should I really go for a C14/C15 B-die kit for my build?
