[SOLVED] Which RAM to choose ?

[Kreskova]

Hello Guys,

I've decided to add another 16 gb to my system, as I actually need it...for Star Citizen.
Instead of adding two 16 gb sticks, due to budge I've decided to get 2x 8gb sticks as its cheaper.

I currently have these:
https://www.amazon.com/TEAMGROUP-T-Force-3200MHz-PC4-25600-Desktop/dp/B07WRGQPDH

I was thinking of getting the same sticks again, but for some unknown reason, the price of these nearly doubled in the last month, so I would just give it a pass.

I've also found these :
https://www.amazon.com/Team-T-Force-Alliance-PC4-25600-TLTYD416G3200HC16CDC01/dp/B07DB6P367

Unpon a close inspection, not only the are from the same brand, they appear to be identical.

Would you recomand to go with the Delta or with the Vulcan?
The reason why I would go with the Vulcan (If there is no performance differance) is because the Delta is nearly twice as expensive as the Vulcan.
I know both are compatible with Asus Mobos, and might not work well on anything else, and I do have a TUF Mobo:

Thank you!

Thank you!

having the same kit like what you have earlier is better than mixing them because they could have different chip, binning, and pcb layers (mostly the both you listed almost same).

There is no guarantee this will work even if you found the exact same make and model kits. Mixing kits is not guaranteed to work. See the odd man out section here https://forums.tomshardware.com/faq...y-ram-and-xmp-profile-configurations.3398926/


The only guaranteed way for this to work is sell what you have and get a 32gb kit.

yup, better get a 2x16gb kit if you wanted a better gurantee it will work on that speed, maybe grab a 3600mhz kits one if you want (must be ryzen 3000 cpu++ or 4000apu++ if you wanted a better chance to succeed, also dont forget to upgrade the bios to the latest )

My CPU is Ryzen 3700x
But I don't really need a 3600, as TUF variants are very hard to find and proly quite expensive.
I mainly need it for Star Citizen, where 16 GB is really not enaugh, I've nabled a 64 gb pagefile on one of my SSDs but (ITS A BAD IDEA) even with the lowered speed, sicne its a SSD, it works qutie well.

I've bought the Delta based on this review https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/teamgroup-tforce-delta-tuf-gaming-rgb-ddr4-3200-c16,5962.html
I've found one for Vulcan a while back but cant seem to find it anymore, but it indicated better OC performance, but no LEDs but that does not mater.

Thank you, I will look for a 16x2 kit.
