Best RAM for a ryzen 7 3700x?
Hey, what’s the top RAM option for your Ryzen 7 3700X with the MSI B450 Tomahawk MAX board? You’re looking in the €80–150 range and want around 16GB, mainly for gaming titles like Counter-Strike, League of Legends, Call of Duty. Considering Corsair DDR4 Vengeance LPX 2x8GB 3600 CL18 is on your mind.
It seems 3600MHz is ideal for Ryzen 3000 models. I’d likely achieve at least 3000MHz CL16, though higher MHz paired with lower CL usually performs better. Make sure the RAM you choose is compatible with the motherboard’s QVL. You can locate the QVL by visiting the product page, then navigating to support, compatibility, and memory for RX-3X00. This list shows tested memory speeds for that board, helping you see how fast it will operate. Most importantly, look for a set available in your area.
3200MHz and above—keep it under 3800MHz. Stick with Infinity Fabric 1:1 since a 2:1 setup will hurt performance and latency until you hit 4400MHz for smoothness. Zen 2 thrives on quick RAM speeds. In gaming, the gap between 3200MHz and 3600MHz is negligible.
I don't have the details on the best or euro price, but I purchased a 2x8GB 3600 CL16 for my new build. It's currently valued at $80 USD. You can find it here: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/jBZzK8/...16d-16gvkc
Obviously, prices and availability vary across regions, but in North America this remains the top choice for value and ease of use.
