Have you checked Gigabyte's website or product listings for the Ryzen 3rd gen on the X570 Aurus Elite?
Hi, I'm trying to locate the memory QVL for an Aorus Elite (non-Wi-Fi) V1.0 motherboard. After searching the Gigabyte site without success, I checked the link you provided. It seems there are three lists, but I’m unsure which one applies to a 3rd generation Ryzen CPU. The architecture isn’t listed clearly, so could you help identify the correct one? Thanks.
Sorry back. The list includes a speed and a native column. From what I understand, the native value is the performance the RAM manufacturer claims it will achieve. Why do RAM modules show higher speeds on sites like Amazon? The 16GB 3600 seems to only be tested in a two-slot setup, but since it's a four-slot motherboard, does that mean it won't work or that the vendor didn’t test it properly? It’s been a while since I built a PC, and things have changed.
The data suggests "native" speed reflects performance without overclocking, while the speed column shows overclocked rates. XMP presets act as ready-made overclocks, and the third-gen Ryzen supports up to 3200Mhz officially, though the hardware itself may handle more.
Thanks for the advice! @ShrimpBrime or someone else, if I choose a 3600 kit should I dive into the BIOS settings to set it to that number? Will the motherboard recognize it automatically or is RAM more important? If it’s the latter, what options are recommended?
The optimal method for using memory with Ryzen is two sticks in two slots. Filling four slots can be more challenging for achieving higher speeds. For typical desktops and gamers, a configuration of two 8GB sticks totals 16GB. The specific slots will follow the manual guidelines (A2 and B2). Most systems don’t automatically recognize XMP/DOCP profiles; you must enable them through BIOS settings. Only certain kits support higher frequency, especially those with speeds above 2133MHz. There’s no assurance of success during overclocking, as noted by @RadiatingLight, and the maximum supported speed is around 3200MHz. If you choose modules, 3200MHz is generally the safest option. High-quality 16GB kits usually feature 16-16-16 timings at 3600MHz but tend to be expensive. Plan your budget before deciding on a purchase.
Thanks for sharing the details. I’m a casual gamer and video editor with a lot of travel clips over the years. At first, I considered 16GB, thinking about upgrading to 32GB later if needed. The budget for the first 16GB usually falls between £100 and £120. Rendering videos is becoming increasingly tough on my current PC. I found a Patriot RAM module on Amazon, but it’s not listed in the Gigabyte range, so it doesn’t seem to fit. On Crucial’s site I saw options like the 3200–Ballistix kit, which seems compatible with the Aorus Elite, but I’m unsure how up-to-date their specifications are. There are also listings on other sites that aren’t available in the UK Crucial catalog, like certain BLS8G4D36BESBK8FE models. It looks like finding suitable RAM might be tricky right now, especially in the UK market. Someone might have better ideas or alternatives. My old Asus rig was a lot easier to set up compared to this situation.
This set matches the 4266mhz model you own. The cost fits perfectly. These connectors will perform whatever the memory card reader and motherboard supports, probably needing only slight adjustments. https://www.newegg.com/global/uk-en/g-sk...lsrc=aw.ds The ones in my previous list were around 300$ US. It would be tough to beat them with anything else. Sure, it's a higher frequency version, but this one is impressive.
