Purchasing Storage for Asus Strix AMD Laptop
Purchasing Storage for Asus Strix AMD Laptop
I recently bought an Asus Strix laptop featuring AMD processors that had known RAM timing problems. I planned to upgrade to 32GB of RAM, but I'm unsure how to identify which RAM sticks are suitable. Online searches have only shown the 3200 and 22CL timings, with no mention of secondary timings or options like 1x8 or 1x16. Is there a way to check the manufacturer's part numbers or find a benchmark list that lists compatible RAM? Should I avoid Samsung and stick to Micron instead?
The laptop features two slots. Additional details can be found at the provided links. Extended timings range from 16 to 36 volts.
They’re comparing CL16/22 and 1.35/1.2 V technologies. The math suggests a slight improvement in RAM latency with the lower voltage, though the gain is minimal. There’s uncertainty about whether Ballistix RAM supports AMD properly—some sources indicate compatibility issues. The XMP feature is mentioned as important, but reviewers seem to doubt it works well with AMD. On Crucial’s site there’s no specific mention of Rx8/16; the Samsung example lists 2Rx8, which appears superior to 1Rx8 and likely better than Rx16.
