What DDR4 RAM sticks are compatible with B350M Motar Motherboard? SR OR DR?

[blessedman9023]

the CPU build is aN AMD Ryzen 5 1500x, mobo is a B350M Mortar, GPU is a Geoforce GTX1050 2GB GDDR5. No OS,but windows 10 pro on flash drive. I'm using HDMI (only display option) & a 20" Sceptre Monitor. What DDR4 RAM sticks are compatible with B350M Motar Motherboard? SR OR DR? Im ready to order new RAM sticks

Both types of ram should work with your motherboard, they just have different chip amounts, DR have the standard amount of chips, SR have less chips but are more stable and are better for OCing here is a link explaining it more. https://forums.evga.com/Choosing-RAM-x4-vs-x8-SR-vs-DR-vs-QR-m2129086.aspx

EDIT: There is also QR ram which has more chips but often require downclocking.
EDIT EDIT: Looking at the mobo it does not look like it can use the QR though.

I have used this on a few Ryzen builds now with great results.. though the price is bla..

and it seems to be on sale every few months so its around $200ish from time to time. getting faster 3200 ram vs 2400 or slower makes a difference with the Ryzen CPU. it was not as much of a difference pre ryzen (or on just about any intel CPUs)

This is the memory I have in my B350M Mortar with 1700 CPU. With the latest BIOS it works perfectly at 3200 and rated timings...14-14-14-14. With a little tweaking...changing timings to 14-15-15-15 mainly...I've been able to get it stable at 3400. I think further tweaking might allow even higher but the rate of return above 3200 is so small it's just not worth the effort. Although...it reportedly is worth it for Ryzen APU's as the Vega cores love DDR4 memory as fast as possible.

FlareX is excellent memory for Ryzen.

Also, while people have reported Ryzen prefers single rank DIMM's it will work with double rank but 3200 and above speeds are more likely with SR.
