Ram for the ryzen 2700x

[Steve Geisel]

so I have most of my computer build finished and now im down to the ram. im seeing mixed reviews on what Mhz to get. im looking to get the g.skill trident z 3200mhz ram with a X470 AORUS GAMING 7. will I be able to get the full speed out of my ram ?

 

[CountMike]

Yes, definitively.

Definitely get the G Skill, that's one of the best sets for the Ryzen 2000 series.

Two of these: Kingston HyperX KHX3600C17D4/8GX are working full speed on my system although above 3200MHz is all with diminishing returns, seems like a sweet spot for now.

Yeah I wounldn't get anything over that right now since most motherboards don't support the high RAM speeds without enabling XMP and even then you still wouldn't get the full benefit of the speeds there.

Ryzen second gen and 4xx chipset are much better combo than first one RAM compatibility wise. DOSP is AMD parlance for XMP although compliance is not as strict as with Intel but still works. Some RAM with X at the end are specifically designed for DOCP.

Well here’s my build so far https://pcpartpicker.com/list/8wfByX I have a x470 board

Looks decent but what about GPU ?
That case already has 2 fans, you probably won't need third one. That stuff can always be added later if need arises.

Yes that is one of the best CPUs on the market right now, it should be a good choice.

so there's no point buying higher speed ram right now? i was eyeing for TEAMGROUP XCALIBUR RGB DDR4 3600 / NIGHT HAWK LEGEND 3466 and my least choice was the g.skill 3200. should i just stick with 3200 then?

There are diminished returns going higher than 3200MHz but looks good in benchmarks and it's still better with b-die RAM.
