[SOLVED] i7-8700, MSI MPG Z390 GAMING Plus Recommended RAM speed?

[FergyBoi]

Title says it all. What is the recommended RAM speed for an i7-8700, and MSI MPG Z390 Gaming Plus


Thank you all in advance!

DDR4 3200 CL16 is plenty for that combo.

Thanks for responding so quickly. There is a kit of Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB CL18 3600MHZ for $72. and a kit of Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB CL16 3200MHZ is about $5 more. What would you recommend? We would just run it in XMP.

 

[logainofhades]

The 3600 CL18 should perform about the same as the 3200 CL16, so whichever is cheaper should be fine.

 

[FergyBoi]

It should be plug-and-play, right? 3600mhz set to XMP shouldn't complicate anything?

It should be plug and play. Setting XMP shouldn't complicate anything.

yep, throw on XMP and everything should be set for you
