  • can any AMD Ryzen CPUs use this RAM speed?

    • The new gen 2 Ryzen would run really well with the default profile at 3600Mhz.
      I am willing to bet this would be easily overclockable to 4000Mhz, so even if you dont pay the extra $40 to get the 4000Mhz. Mind you, you will need a decent Mobo to overclock well.

      I grabbed the Ballistic sport 3000Mhz C15 and have it at the moment clocked at 3600Mhz C14. Got a R3700X with a Gigabyte X470 Gaming Auros 7 Wifi mobo.

      • Ballistic sport 3000/3200mhz c15/c16 seems like cheaper option that should perform pretty similar. i.e https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B07M9HZFP2/

        • Yep, the Ballistix Sports are definitely better value.

          The only real advantage the Elites have are better looking heatsinks and slightly lower timings at a given frequency. For example, at 3600MHz the Ballistix Sports can do something like 16-19-19 or 16-20-20 while the Elites can do 16-17-17 or 16-18-18. The Elites should also be able to run the same settings as the Sports at a lower voltage.

          • @integral: I got my sport clocked at 14-19-16-16-28.

            • @parallelparadox: That sounds about right. tRCD(RD) is lower on the Elites and possibly tRFC as well.

              • @integral: Yup, any tighter and it wouldnt post.
                That said, I guess the difference would be negligible for the most part.

        • Yup, same reason i went to for the sport.

    • Saw some youtuber with 3800 and 4200 doing better…same timings too…I think…
