Question Which DDR4 for 3950X?

[Jake Hall]

Alright. I know this has been covered on the forum somewhere, on youtube, and I've seen the AMD chart. But I want a simple answer. I will NOT be overclocking the 3950x ( I may even go with the 3900 or 3700, haven't decided yet) I usually just set an XMP profile and leave it alone. Price isn't a concern.

3600 (16-19-19-39)
or
3200 (14-14-14-34)

3600

Ideally, the 3600mhz, although both should work just fine.

I went with 16 GB's of C16 3600 (G.Skill Ripjaws V, F4-3600C16D-16GVKC) for my 3700x build and I am very happy with them.

I have Gskill Neo 3600 paired with my 3950x , runs great no issues.

Yeah, that's the exact one I'm looking at, vs the $230 3200 ones

I run 3733 ram, myself, with my 3700x. I chose it specifically because of price, and AMD's initial slides saying 3733 was max speed, for 1:1 ratio. Oddly, I still had to make some changes, to get it to work as intended, due to the odd CL, and speed.

Thinking this one

Mainly wondering if there's an advantage going with the lower timed 3200 ones that are more expensive

Not a fan of Ripjaws.

Not a fan of Ripjaws.

Why's that? I'm usually a faithful Corsair memory fan, but they're kinda MIA in this category

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

I like most Corsair memory , but never had good luck with Ripjaws DDR4.

I have those exact same Ripjaws OC'd to 3733 on my ROG Strix X470-F / 3700x rig (see my signature), they work Great and are 100% stable.
And they perform pretty well:

They use the new Hynix DJR IC's:

I have the timings at 15-15-15-15-30-45 @ 1.37v in bios even though all software reports the cl @16
