gigabyte b450m ds3h features wifi intel xmp, amd architecture and DDR4-3200 speed compared to DDR4-2400.
I'm working on setting up a system with these parts for your 2016 windows upgrade. You have a Gigabyte B450M DS3H Wi-Fi card, an AMD Ryzen 3600 processor (from MicroCenter for $130), and an EVGA 220-G5-0650-X1 graphics card. For the GPU, you're considering either the Sapphire ATI 4550 or the Aegis DDR4 2400 CL17. Both are similar in price and have XMP support, though AMD might not fully optimize with XMP profiles. You mentioned avoiding overclocking and noticed stability problems with the first setup—random crashes and BSODs even when idle. After trying Aegis, it wasn't approved for Gigabyte memory, so you switched to Ripjaws V, which is compatible but may run slower without XMP. The recent Prime95 test showed fatal errors after 29 minutes, and the system failed to boot properly. You're wondering whether to stick with Ripjaws or return to Aegis, if enabling XMP is necessary, and what else you should consider. Any tips would be helpful.
Have you checked if the BIOS was updated on your board? This often fixes memory problems. The memory controller for Zen 2 performs much better than those in Zen and Zen+ models. It should handle DDR4-3200 without trouble—this is the official speed supported by Ryzen 3000 processors.
The Ripjaws V DDR4-3200 works well with a Zen 2 CPU. You should be able to install it and turn on XMP without trouble. Check that your BIOS is current, as this might have been involved in issues with the previous system you used. The update can help with memory compatibility.
Consider enabling XMP and adjusting RAM speed manually to 3133 or 3000 to test its effectiveness.
