Checking RAM compatibility for your system. Any updates to the RAM?
Checking RAM compatibility for your system. Any updates to the RAM?
You previously bought a GSKILL 32GB (2x16GB) RipjawsV DDR4 3600MHz CL18 stick, but your PC didn't boot with the DOCP(XMP) profile likely due to stability issues, leading you to return them. You're now considering the Trident Z Neo DDR4-3600 CL16 32GB (2x16GB) stick from GFSI. You've checked the QVL on your CPU and motherboard but aren't sure if it works with the XMP profile at 3600MHz. You don't plan to overclock beyond XMP, so you're curious about compatibility.
Would you like advice on suitable 32GB 3600MHz RAM sticks (likely CL16 or similar), keeping a budget in mind?
Hello, Your system runs a Ryzen 5600X with an Asus TUF B550M+ Wi-Fi chipset. You currently have 16GB of Crucial Ballistix RAM (2x8GB) at 3600MHz CL16. You're planning to upgrade to 32GB but haven't been able to purchase more locally since Crucial stopped making new RAM in February. So you're considering buying two 16GB sticks for the update.

I’d consider buying RAM that matches the QVL listings because you encountered an issue with a 3600MHz model from another maker. Alternatively, you might opt for 3200MHZ RAM with CL14, which offers similar performance to 3600MHz but with better heat tolerance.

Although they’re only certified for the Ryzen 3000 series, the 5000 series offers more flexibility with RAM. If it doesn’t support XMP out of the box, you can adjust the timings slightly or raise the voltage a bit.

04-06-2020, 04:50 AM #8Trident Z Neo (2x16) in on QVL list of Ryzen 3000 CPUs so i'll try my luck on this Are there any chance since it is in QVL of my CPU(ryzen site) but not in my motherboards QVL of 5000 series CPUs but it shows(QVL) compatible with 3000 series? it says 1,2 socket support so i don't think a pair will create problem. Currently waiting for refund process. When i buy them i'll look into it, these QVL lists are a mess and some of the sticks are nowhere to be found... I have another question, I am currently building a side PC to do renders and work, nothing too crazy but while i was checking QVL list i am kinda confused. Cpu:Ryzen 9 5900x Motherboard:Asus ProArt-Creator B550 I am planning to buy same Trident Z Neo rams in this build but as 64Gb(4x16) since I cant find 4x16, can i buy 2x(2x16) sets and make it work on 3600mhz since QVL list says 1,2,4 socket support. Still same issue btw it shows on 3000 series QVL but not on 5000 series... On the top the pairs i want to buy but i can't find them, on the bottom 4 socket support for 2x16s so can i make it work? Only difference is one is sold as 4 pack other one as 2. Editmall mistakes and more info Thanks

04-06-2020, 05:47 AM #9I'm being straightforward—if it's on the CPU QVL, you should be fine. DDR4 4866(O.C)/4600(O.C)/4400(O.C)/4266(O.C.)/4133(O.C.)/4000(O.C.)/3866(O.C.)/3733(O.C.)/3600(O.C.)/3466(O.C.)/3333(O.C.)/3200/3000/2800/2666/2400/2133 MHz ECC and non-ECC, Un-buffered Memory. This info comes from the Pro Art Boards Spec page. I’d recommend giving it a shot.
Yes, proceed confidently. Four sticks generally become more challenging to manage at faster speeds or with higher CPU overclocking since they put extra strain on the memory controller. I’d suggest using 2x32 instead. Personally, I run 4x8 GB sticks—G-Skill FlairX overclocked from 3200 CL14 to 3600 CL16 on a Ryzen 5800X—and it performs reliably. Running two separate kits doesn’t ensure perfect compatibility, even if the packaging claims otherwise. Differences in production runs or component changes (like chips or controllers) can cause mismatches. This shouldn’t be intentional, but it may lead to stability problems or incompatibility. Most cases are fine, though, and it’s usually not a big concern unless you’re using custom chips from brands like Crucial or SK Hynix.
