I've been on the hunt for some DDR4 to start building a new Ryzen system. Came across this deal from Newegg which is a cracker of a deal. A lot cheaper than other 3000mhz ram with not much difference in timings

From my research, it appears these are hynix single sided die, but amongst the only in the sub $200 price range that appears on MSI's B450 QVL list. Many good reviews saying 3000mhz is doable with an XMP profile. No heatspreaders but allegedly this doesnt make a big difference with ddr4's low voltage, and generic heatspreaders are $3 on ebay.

No comparable au reseller, some around the $150 bracket but those are single 16gb sticks rather than 2x8gb

Note: price on page says $132 but I got charged a little over $1 extra in tax for some reason.

        Nice find OP. Out of curiosity what MSI B450 mobo are you looking to pair this RAM with? I've been looking for the MSI Pro Carbon but struggling to find stock. Feels like most decent B450 boards are getting hard to find.

        • dkstorm on 11/02/2019 - 22:15

          I'm looking at the MSI B450-A Pro. Same features mostly compared to the Tomahawk, and I dont need RGB or a second M2 slot. Anything from the B450-A pro, gaming plus, tomahawk, carbon pro or x470 gaming plus really.

          Super useful link for anyone interested in the VRM capabilities of the B450 and X470 boards

        It seems Ryzen 2 is much more forgiving on hynix anyway. I took the gamble last year on pricey 2x16GB Hynix 3000 and it's been sweet.

        • macrocephalic on 11/02/2019 - 15:16

          I think the improvements have actually been in the motherboards rather than the CPUs. I think the 4XX series boards are more forgiving.

  • Cleremy on 11/02/2019 - 00:38

    I built a Ryzen 3 2600G system last week, MSY had a lot of RAM out of stock so I went with Kingston HyperX 2x4GB for $99 which seemed to be compatible with an Asus A320 board.
    Hopefully 8GB will do the job. Don't have the know how yet to find out if the RAM is operating in dual channel or not…

    • giovannip on 11/02/2019 - 00:41

      It will work in dual channel if you have 2 sticks, it's as easy as that :)

      • Diji1 on 11/02/2019 - 00:55
        +8

        Two of the same sticks and they have to be in the correct RAM slots (assuming you have more than two slots).

        Slots are usually labelled on the board or in the manual failing that. eg There'll be slots A1,A2, B1 and B2. Using slots A1 and B1 would mean no dual channel.

          imo 8gb won’t be enough it might be sufficient for a console but considering the os and other background prosesses leaving u only around 5gb which will affect performance esp aaa titles

        • BradH13 on 11/02/2019 - 19:48

          Err, A1 and B1 is dual channel. A1 and A2 (or B1 and B2) is not.

          Most motherboards would tell you to use A2 and B2 in two stick cases though for whatever reason.

      • Cleremy on 12/02/2019 - 23:45

        The Asus RAM QVL lists many types of RAM as not being capable of Dual Channel, hence my doubt.

      • Cleremy on 11/02/2019 - 20:03

        It is a budget build, I even tried to recycle RAM from another computer not realising DDR3 RAM can't be used on a DDR4 board. In hindsight I could have got 16 GB for a similar price (assuming I could verify compatibility) had I been patient.

      I assume you're being sarcastic. However, in the off chance that you're not, allow me to do the maths for you… 4 x 8 = 32.

          If that was the case, the logical comment to make would be "though I'm looking for 16GB sticks at the moment". Also, while not impossible, it's very unlikely the average user requiring 32GB of RAM would be using a 2 slot board. I stand by my original comment.

            @jenna12: Yes I could have worded it better but I am looking for 16GB sticks. Although unlikely for the average user but I'm building a flight sim rig so no ram is too much ram.

        I can do with another 2 x 16GB to go with the 2 x 16GB in my quad channel RAM mainboard. Adding 2 or 4 8GB instead will result in suboptimal flex mode.

    Heatspreaders do absolutely nothing - apart from acting as a marketing tool to sell fancy looking ram for more. DDR3 didn't need them either.

    I mean we've gotten to the point now of adding bloody LEDs on the things. Heat clearly isn't a concern

    • frugal investigator on 11/02/2019 - 09:29
      +1

      While an Intel or AMD CPU will overheat without a heat sink, RAM can usually operate at it’s designed operation without a heat sink.
      If you overclock RAM, it will generate additional heat - especially when you increase the voltage.

      So if you don’t plan on overclocking yep it’s pretty useless.

    what is mean Intel Z170 Platform Memory??

    • troyww on 11/02/2019 - 06:21
      +3

      The memory was tested at it's rated specs on an Intel Z170 chipset motherboard.
      I bought this memory months ago during the spend $70 get $30 off deal and got 2(8Gb) sticks separately on different Accounts .
      My Asus X370 motherboard and Ryzen 1700 were rock solid with some old 2400 Kingston Hyperx with tighter timings . Now I'm getting a BSOD every 2 or 3 weeks with this ram @3000mhz . The Kingston would pretty much insta fail at anything but the slightest overclock , so dropping the G.Skills speed would probably make it rock solid .
      Maybe these sticks are not matched or maybe the memory controller on my Ryzen is not great hard to tell without proper overnight testing that I can't be bothered doing .

      The 2000 series Ryzen supposedly has better memory compatibility so YMMV .

      Also it took almost a month to arrive …

        Note that Ryzen original series memory issues are pretty much non-existent now anyway. There were quite a few at launch, but many bios and AGESA updates later, pretty much anything you throw into a Ryzen board will work.

        Just built six Ryzen machines for work recently, with mixed RAM (we bought the cheapest RAM we could, and couldn't get all of the RAM the same), and we encountered no issues at all on any of the machines (Ryzen 5 1600 and B350 boards). My machine at home is running 2 x 16GB DDR4-2133 RAM running at 2666mhz without issue.

        Not sure why you are having newegg delivery issues either, mine generally arrives 5-6 business days, which is a lot faster than Umart has been recently!

        • troyww on 11/02/2019 - 09:16

          Obviously they had a huge influx of orders with the sale . I think I paid $110Aus for the 16Gb .
          I had 4 orders and the first arrived at about 7 days the last 2 took almost a month . I haven't ordered from them since .
          As for 1000 series Ryzen memory issues around 3000/3200 I'm not alone .
          Thaiphoon and "DRAM Calculator for Ryzen" are quite helpful .

  • [Deactivated] on 11/02/2019 - 07:19

    I got 2400 32GB ram(4x8). ROG x399 MB with 1920 threadripper. Things a beast as it is. Would I see any difference? Read the threadripper loves the higher end RAM.

    • mrsolis on 11/02/2019 - 10:33
      +2

      In general, little to no difference, however it depends on what applications you use.

      The only noticable performance increase is in high framerate games (200+ fps) where minimal frame timings (time to update on screen output from one frame to the next) get increasingly small (sub 4ms).

      So unless you have a gaming monitor that outputs at 240Hz, I wouldn't recommend the upgrade.

      Even 2400MHz should be fine on a 144Hz monitor.

      DDR4 came to mainstream CPUs with the launch of the Intel 6 series in late 2015. Check your specs in the system part of windows or download hardware monitor to check but I would say it's unlikely.

      If you're running AMD then then the answer is a flat no.

  • Faraam Knight on 11/02/2019 - 12:45

    I have used these ram in MSI B350 Tomahawk.

    You will get 2933mhz if using xmp. With MSI memory try it! function, you could get 3066mhz without changing timing, 3200 with looser timing.

    Generally, you easily get 1 notch up, 2400 to 2666, 3000 to 3200 etc with most recent Bios(A320 motherboards, I am not sure. never used any of those)

    If you are happy with 2666mhz, most 2133 or 2400 could easily oc to that speed

  • furyou on 11/02/2019 - 13:45

    Don't understand this comment "Many good reviews saying 3000mhz is doable with an XMP profile"

      With recent Bios, you have to try it

      A320 chipset is the bottom of the barrel, least feature and mainly targeting OEM, running most of things at stock.

      You'll have to run it all at the speed of the slower RAM. It may overclock to 3200MHz, but more likely than not you'll have to run it all at 3000MHz.
