thats a good price. i recently jsut spent the same money on kingston 2x8gb 3000mhz rgb, if they had this i would have bough it >:|.
How slow is 2400 compared to say 3200? I mean real life difference when browsing web & heavy excel work.
none
How did this get negged? You could do "heavy Excel work" on a potato and barely notice any difference!
Then you're not doing "heavy Excel work".
@viggenn: On a fairly basic i5 laptop with 8gb of ram loaded with a fairly large amount of enterprise junk, I fairly routinely play around with spreadsheets of around 10 million items (honestly at this point excel is the wrong tool).
Most cells are populated with formulas, albeit basic ones.
Worst case activities (swapping large chunks of data) take up to a second or two to complete. Graphs can sometimes take up to 10 or 20 seconds.
In all cases this is limited by the CPU. Excel uses a single core.
I consider my laptop pretty much a potato compared to a desktop ryzen build where you're looking at 32gb of ram at 2400/3200mhz.
So yeah difference in ram speed? Negligible.
It does make a big difference with AMD cpu's, and some with Intel.
so your web loads faster and excel calculates faster, yeah ?
Intel, not a heap but on Ryzen, it makes a huge difference.
In those things? none. In gaming it can be a different story but for browsing and excel I really don't think you will have a problem.
Im playing APEX on mixed RAM of 1600Mhz … it is ok for a hour or so, then all short of warning message pop up
Is it better perforamnce wise to grab this 32gb instead of 16gb of 3200c16 ram for the same price for a Ryzen 2600 build?
Gaming and streaming being the main use
My brief research suggests faster ram is needed…
16gb is enough for gaming+streaming
ryzen gaming+streaming , say no to 2400, go 3200
How about running VM? 2400 good?
yeah, 2400 is fine for VM better to have more ram.
Yeah I'm not sure what is up with this amd faster ram phenomenon. Honestly I haven't researched it enough to figure out of there are just some quirks to it or if it's legit.
Personally I'd go with the faster ram in this case as 32gb is a tad overkill for just gaming. I'd be getting 2x8gb however, and in 2 years or so add another 2x8gb sticks when need (chrome lol) grows.

Seems like it can matter in certain situations (but not for "general use" generally speaking) including gaming where it can cause up to 10% performance.
It also improves encoding performance a small amount.
I would get the faster RAM for a gaming and streaming PC given that adding RAM capacity does not improve encode speed and only has 1 or 2% improvement to game performance going from 8 to 16GB.
I genuinely found an increase in general performance once I realised I had forgotten to increase my memory clock on my R7 1700 based rig.
Just personal experience, YMMV
32GB is the new 16GB. So not overkill, and is becoming the norm.
instead of 16gb of 3200c16 ram for the same price
I bought 2x8 3200 C14 Samsung b-die for $250 a week or so ago. $250 MSY, $270 (from memory) at Newegg. You can filter by CAS latency on Newegg browsing to find the CL14 stuff only.
Fair enough, thanks
just enough to run modded minecraft and maybe a tab of chrome.
Damn, what’s on that Chrome tab tho?
HTML5 minecraft
This one is CL19, its actually slower than the kit in OP.
Just for reference; most DDR4 can be overclocked typically a speed above the rated speed.
Obviously this is overclocking so your milage may vary.
I am able to get my Trident Z RGB from 3,000 15-16-16-35 2T to 3,900 15-16-16-35 1T without issues at stock voltage.
I passed 8 hours of memtest and I'm content with that.
Typically I'd say go one speed up if you aren't savvy enough to overclock or fiddle, etc and you're probably fine.
You got lucky and ended up with B-Die. Most sticks won't overclock anywhere near those speeds.
These sticks are probably cheap, poorly binned Hynix M-Die and would be lucky to hit 3000 with okay timings, even with a voltage bump.
yeah thats really lucky. I had to go through 2 different kits to get the b-die that I wanted. you typically get hynix if you go for 3000 cl 15.
Ah really?
Funny because I was going to get 3200mhz and accidentally got 3000.
I knew that I'm lucky, I even got a decent 8700k that I run at 5.2Ghz with the 3,900mhz ram.
These sticks are good for the money is the case though. They'd likely do 2666 which is all thag they need to do for any build. This is Ozbargin after all.
@Matt86: 2666 is probably okay for general usage, but for anything latency dependent (including gaming) I'd want faster. This is especially true for Ryzen builds.
Most people who need 32GB probably aren't doing latency dependent tasks, and so this is a great deal. For someone building a gaming rig, a 16GB 3000/3200 kit would be a much better option.
@Shrew: Good tip. I'm looking at a gaming build now and was tossing up between this and Corsair Vengeance 3000MHz 16GB at a slightly lower price. Decision made!
I have a 3000 C15 kit with Hynix chips, but they're C-Die which is kinda like the Hynix equivalent of B-Die in terms of overclocking.
The timings aren't as tight, but it does 3500 C15 and I consider that pretty lucky tbh. As I said, most of these kits get binned Hynix M-Die which is lucky to do 3200 C16.
Dram I love these prices!
