[SOLVED] RAM Question

[LfcYNWA]

R7 2700X - Asus Prime X570 Pro
Now read the Motherboard QVL about compatible RAM and i ended up to these 2?

1) HyperX Pedator HX432C16PB3K4/32 4*8 GBSS Hynix 16-18-18-36 1.35 3200

2) G.Skill F4-3200C16D-32GTZ 2*16 GBDS Hynix 16-18-18-38 1.35 3200

Which one you suggest me and why?

4 DIMMs have always been more problematic to get them to run at the higher rated speeds vs a two-DIMM setup.

Even if both appear on the QVL, I'd still lean towards the 2x16GB setup opposed to 4x8GB.

However, do you have a workload that calls for 32GB? A lot of people fall into the trap that 'more = better'. If you're gaming (for example), you'd be better served with 2x8GB with slightly tigher timings.

FWIW, the QVL just states kits that have been tested. That doesn't mean other kits of the same spec won't be compatible... just that they haven't been tested by the board manufacturer. They don't have the time or resources to test ever single kit of memory in existence. Especially in the 2x16GB configuration, you should be fine with almost any kit of 3200MHz DDR4.

Thank you. I will use for gaming streaming and not a lot editing. Is 2*8 16GB okay?
Just found HyperX predator 2*8 at the price 92 euro
HyperX Predator HX432C16PB3K/16 2*8 GBSS Hynix 16-18-18-36 1.35 3200

This one is compatible and for upgrade ryzen matisse CPU if i will upgrade very possible to 7 3800x.

The other Gskill from QVL cost 152 euro

G.Skill F4-3200C16D-32GTZ 2*16 GBDS Hynix 16-18-18-38 1.35 3200
is compatible only for pinnacle ringe R7 2700X
for matisse R7 3800X the Gskill in Asus QVL don't exist and is not the same (have one more letter and change the Chip Brand from Hynix to Samsung)
G.SKILLF4-3200C16D-32GTZA 2*16 GBDS Samsung 16-16-16-36 1.35 3200

Can i ignore QVL and get the GSkill? This will work in the future for matisse R7 3800X ?

This 2 is from QVL Asus motherboard X570PRIMEPRO

Which one you suggest?
First cost 92 euro
Second cost 152 euro
I can find in QVL HyperX Predator exackly the same but 4*8 32Gb
I can't find HyperX Predator 2*16 (and if i can is more expensive ) 200 Euro

Is G.Skill good enough?

Can i use G.Skill Ripjaws V 32GB DDR4-3600MHz
Have exactly the same price with G.Skill 3200MHz

In the QVL Aus mobo this last at 3600MHz not exist
Can ignore QVL?
Can Ryzen 7 2700X & AsusX570PRIMEPRO run RAM at 3600MHz

[Barty1884]

For gaming and streaming, 16GB should be plenty.

 

[LfcYNWA]

Thank you! HyperX Predator or Gskill TridentZ better?
i wanna use 3200MHz with my Ryzen 7 2700x & Asus Prime X570 Pro
2 kits 8 or 2 kits 16 3200MHz DDR4 CL 16

Do not ignore the QVL on AMD chipsets.
I primarily buy G.Skill and a lot of it, the few times that I needed service they were awesome.
So if you want 32GB but the G.Skill, if you only need 16GB then buy the other or a smaller G.Skill set.
With AMD chipsets/CPUs the various boards will run different speeds -- so insure that you choose your CPU type to get the correct memory, and some run very fast memory with 3rd gen. Ryzen CPUs.

Not going by the memory QVL will always be somewhat of a gamble.

The G.Skill DDR4-3600MHz may work fine at 3600MHz or may not. It would probably work fine at 3200MHz though. Remember that faster RAM also puts more stress on the CPU's memory controller.

If it were me, I would pick up the G.Skill 2x16GB 3600MHz and call it a day.

 

[LfcYNWA]

I have order HyperX DDR4 16 GB (Kit 2 x 8 GB), 3200 MHz CL16 DIMM XMP
from QVL asus but i thinking to cancel for
G.Skill 32GB (2x16GB) Flare X DDR4 3200MHz

Which is better RAM about quality?
Kingston HyperX Predator or Gskill FlareX?

 

[LfcYNWA]

The Asus QVL mix high prices condemned me to use 2*8 RAM
I could use if i ingore QVL 2*16......
