[SOLVED] Ram buying question

[Stigmar]

Would this ram work on z170x gaming 3 rev 1.0?

G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin SDRAM PC4-28800 DDR4 3600MHz CL16-19-19-39 1.35V

Am I better off with this one?

The price difference is less in my country.


It seems I'd have to underclock it since that MOBO runs 3446 OC max.

What do you guys think?

Thank you! Too bad I live too far away for the shipping.

You're linking Amazon (US), therefore I assumed you're in the US. What country are you in?

 

[Stigmar]

Egypt. I linked to it because it shows the specs in detail, unlike websites in my country. I just wanted to know if it'd work on my Mobo.

To answer your question directly: You're right, if your mobo only supports 3466 max (keep in mind the memory controller is on the CPU, so that also has to be able to push that high), then you'd have to slightly de-tune a 3600MHz kit (the difference between 3466 and 3600 is essentially nothing). Unless the price is super close though, I'd just go with a 3000 or 3200MHz kit.

Thank you! The price difference is slightly minimal.
