I suggest you wait and see all the motherboards as some may be near the $200 high cost X370 prices. Near the end of Augest we also may see a 1900 Ryzen for around the same price as the 1800x. RAM is about the same as you getting 2 X 16GB sticks instead of 4 X 8GB sticks.

You already see others peoples using this DDR4 Tridend with Ryzen processors without problems?

Yes but that is on a dual channel AM4 motherboard. Not the TR4 quad channel threadripper motherboard. FlareX hasn't been tested to work in quad channel on the TR4 motherboard nor any for that matter. The TridentZ has been testing to work in quad channel on Intel motherboards. If you want FlareX wait for a quad channel kit.

MSI put up an x399 QVL for their Gaming pro carbon motherboard...even though it's still on pre-order. Looks like many 4x8GB kits reached their rated speeds in testing up to 3200Mhz on Threadripper. Hopefully this means Threadripper won't have the memory compatibility issues Ryzen did on launch. You can view the list here:

Note: You may have to hit the compatibility link on the left side to see the list.

Edit: Actually Asrock has a memory QVL up for their upcoming TR4 products as well.

If you're pre-ordering a Threadripper build, you'd be well advised to stick to memory on one of the current QVLs. I don't see those sticks on any of them. Also agree with elbert re: RAM speeds on Ryzen Threadripper as it seems to take a hit with low RAM speeds.

Going down the QVL lists it looks like the love affair with Samsung die based modules continues. Maybe try to find a Samsung B-Die equipped kit on sale if you're trying to shave a few pennies off the build price. These can usually be readily identified by going over extended timings. At and/or below 3200Mhz you're looking for kits with timings similar to 14-14-14-34.

These also seem to be what AMD has sent to reviewers to use with their upcoming releases on Threadripper.

Edit: Just noticed Gigabyte validated an 8x16GB 3000Mhz kit for use with the x399 Aorus gaming 7.

F4-3000C14Q2-128GVKD = $1400. Doubt there'll be many gamers that want/need 128GB, but that's an awesome result for people wanting to build render/editing workstations based around Threadripper. Also the first time I've seen 8 sticks of dual rank dimms validated at rated speeds.

That's the stuff...and for those of us that like saving a dime here and there and don't care for the light shows:

For my own build I'm actually leaning toward a "budget" 4x16 kit like this one now that it's validated on at least one x399 board:

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820232092

The highest I've seen validated on 4x16 is 3333Mhz, so it's not like 4 DR dimms are going to clock to the moon anyway. :)

Either is fine but bang for the buck the 3000 may be the better option.

I looked that and don't matter about RGB, but that i believe don't have QUAD-CHANNEL, only dual channel:

Well amazon just went ahead and made my memory decision for me. For some reason they priced the 3200Mhz 4x16GB Corsair Vengeance red LED kit almost $200 below the price of the blue or white kits. I. pounced.

lol the 2x16GB kit with the same specs and the same red LEDs is only $81.94 less. ...sure amazon guys, I'll pay another $82 for 32GB more memory! Think someone fat fingered this, they're still over $700 on newegg, but $451 on amazon.

Much lulzy...
4x8 = $324
4x16 = $451

These show up on Gigabyte's x399 QVL btw, so should be fine at rated speed with threadripper. Even says Samsung die, though the timings don't look like b-die.

Edit: ...and here's a validated application of CMU64GX4M4C3200C16 on Ryzen. Loose timings, but hitting 3204Mhz with 4 dual rank dimms with an 1800x is no mean feat. These sticks definitely got some zen. :)

Discontinued memory is discontinued. :) ...perhaps amazon is just making room for Corsair's even bling-i-er RGB sticks which I just noticed are in the pipeline. ...yeah, no I'll take the significant discount and apply the difference toward moar threadripper cores thanks. :)

Edit2: Ha! Amazon changed the price of CMU64GX4M4C3200C16R back to $740. Hope I helped somebody else get in on that brief -$288(39%) fire sale.

I am getting the 1950x and I ordered this memory: Corsair - Dominator Platinum 32GB (4 x 8GB) DDR4-3600 Memory

Quality over specs is my typical belief but when you combine quality and specs is when you're in the money zone!
