Is it safe to use a ram that disappears on QVL?
The memory support list for the X570 Taichi isn't extensive, indicating limited testing of RAM models. This suggests many RAM options might not be confirmed for this motherboard. Despite that, the Ryzen 5000 series remains reliable and stable when paired with memory.
In short, it's unclear whether they'll function properly. The more dense the dimming, the tougher it becomes to make them work effectively. Even though the Ryzen 5000 is superior, high-capacity dimmers often struggle to start reliably. You're frequently stuck at around 2133MHz and can't go further.
You can upgrade to 128GB later by adding more RAM if you start with 64GB. This means you need to purchase additional modules that are available on the QVL since they provide the extra memory. Some users claim RAM performance isn't always visible in listings, so it's worth checking premium builds for better controller quality.
2133MHz serves as the main JEDEC standard for common platforms up to 3200MHz. Ideally, purchasing memory certified to JEDEC standards at that frequency should ensure proper performance, but even then, significant overclocking of 128GB or RAM in a 4x32GB setup is unlikely. Additionally, such memory typically lacks high-end aesthetics—it's designed for workstations rather than consumer appeal, focusing on functionality over form.
You keep emphasizing a premium build but what exactly are you doing with it? Gaming? Well, 16GB is more than enough, perhaps 32GB in a few years if things go that way. You'll never need anything near 64GB for gaming on this machine, let alone for the rest of its life. Other possibilities exist, but you're not sharing details, so I can't give any advice. Yes, they definitely need QVL list sticks to ensure everything functions properly and avoid buying multiple kits. Basically, any RAM will fit, but performance depends heavily on what's included. The speed it runs at is uncertain unless it's on the correct list. Most likely, the graphics card will cap at around 2133MHz, which is terrible for Ryzen. You might get lucky and hit 3600MHz, but that's risky. Who knows? Since it hasn't been tested before, you'll probably be the first to discover the issue and face disappointment if it doesn't work. Then you'll have to return it and try something else. Or you could just settle for a much slower experience.
Your spending decisions reflect your preferences. If you enjoy this G.Skill Royal set, feel free to purchase it—it stands out nicely. Just remember you're here for guidance, so you're making the right choice. If you disagree with my advice or that of others trying to assist you, please disregard it. I genuinely believe sticking with what we've suggested won't upset anyone.
I’m talking about a premium board X570. I’m not sure since some sources gave different info, making it tough to decide. The X570 TAICHI list is limited, and you can see that other boards have more options. People often mention 2X32GB sticks on the QVL, but only four are available for RAM.
Again just make a new thread for the whole build and let people help you buy the best you can for the money. Might even just recommend another board or something if you really really really really want the royal (if trident z is supported royals should be too as it's the same ram just higher bin). And yeah the list is short because it's a board that someone who games on their system would buy and no gamer needs 32gb of ram or more so why bother testing more higher capacity kits of ram? That isn't their target audience. So some minimal testing will be done to see if it works and if it does with a couple kits good enough.
