Struggling to choose between the two RAM choices for your Ryzen 5800x?
Struggling to choose between the two RAM choices for your Ryzen 5800x?
Consider upgrading to Kingston FURY Beast DDR4 3000 MHz CL15 with 32 GB or the Renegade DDR4 3600 MHz CL16 with 32 GB. You can fill all four slots, but the latter offers a higher clock speed. Since you probably won’t add more RAM soon, it makes sense to plan for a future upgrade.
2x16 remains the optimal option since it reduces stress on the IMC.
Sure, I understand. I'll attempt to secure them if they're available tomorrow.
I’d avoid Kingston because you can’t be sure which ICs you’ll receive. However, using Crucial lets you obtain DIMMs with Micron Rev E ICs at a lower cost—just ensure you check thoroughly before purchasing to confirm the model includes them.
Verify your motherboard's QVL, if you fill all four slots with the 3600 kit—go ahead. I chose a 4000 CL 18 Micron kit and was completely happy with it.
