Searching for a 32GB 3600MHz (2x16GB) AMD kit
Hey, it looks like there aren't any 32 GB two-stick kits verified for 3600MHz on the Ryzen lineup. I've seen 3200MHz options, but I'm hoping to find a 3600MHz kit if possible—it seems to be the optimal setting for Ryzen. The need for a 32GB kit comes from approaching memory limits on certain projects, so I want to keep the flexibility to add another two modules for 64GB whenever needed. Thanks ahead!
There are many 3600Mhz CL16 kits with 2x16GB RAM? What exactly you're asking is unclear. The only verified options for Ryzen were marketing items. Most of the good ones came as add-ons, especially those designed for Zen processors, while newer high-speed kits are now available because they work well with Zen 2. I haven't encountered any problems related to RAM with Zen 2. Zen had issues, but Zen+ resolved them and didn't face major problems until speeds reached over 3400Mhz. Zen 2 itself doesn't seem to have significant issues at that point.
I think the goal is to confirm compatibility for running a full kit at 3600MHz. On the X570 Aorus motherboard QVL, there aren't any 32GB kits suitable for 4 sticks at that frequency. They work with just 2 sticks at 3600MHz, but not 4 unless you upgrade to 64GB.
QVL lists focus on RAM compatibility. They won't evaluate every memory product ever nor every board across the whole market. A huge number of RAMs will remain untested. Testing 3600 MHz at four sticks might stress the IMC, though. It's likely new TR chips can support 4 to 8 sticks at that speed, so consumer boards should handle it fine. In the worst scenario, speeds drop slightly and timing adjustments are made, resulting in minor bandwidth loss and negligible other effects.
Hold on while it restocks—maybe pay a little extra if I’m lucky. The 4x16 at CL16 3600 could be overpriced, but I should look into the X570 Taichi’s QVL for four sticks.
Great to hear. Appreciate the details. I was thinking about using this setup since it could boost my chances of getting two units.
