Which RAM model are you looking for?
Hey there, building a new home server to swap out your old Microserver gen8 is exciting! You're planning to use 16GB 2133Mhz HyperX cards instead of ECC ones, and upgrading your desktop to 32GB as you handle music and demanding projects. For audio production and gaming, you’ll want solid performance. Considering a setup with two 16GB modules at 3200/3600Mhz (CL16) could work well, but it’s hard to say without more details on specs. Your desktop still has a 6700K in place, and you’re expecting the Ryzen 4000 upgrade soon—full RAM speed might be limited unless you use something like the MSI Z170 Gaming Pro. So, what’s ideal for your needs?
You have options like a 3200 cl16/14 or a 3600 cl16 kit, which should suffice. We’re not sure how well Zen 3’s imc performs or what the optimal setting is, so you might wait. However, at least now a 3200 cl16/14 or 3600 cl16 kit should work. You could also consider a 2x16 gig kit instead of 4x8, as bandwidth remains similar (assuming identical chips) and it allows for future upgrades. It’s technically possible.
it depends, you can use various ICs such as MFRE/CJR and Ballistix might rely on micron revision. A 3200 cl16/14 or a 3600 cl16 kit should suffice, and I’d prefer a 2x16 gig over a 4x8 gig. You could also hold off until Zen 3 releases to see how it handles specific frequencies, timings, and IC performance.
