  • Some interesting reviews on amazon

    • Keen to share what's interesting?

      • +1

        The typical occasional dead sticks, compatibility issues etc etc. The reviews are for all LPX sticks regardless of size and speed, so you get all sorts in there.

        • I have had a stick DOA, easy swap at the local Umart. Apparently it's very common with their Corsair RAM. I personally would buy in-store as a result given my previous experience.

        • I bought these from Scorptec for black friday sales and my sticks died on me as well. Still waiting for the RMA from them…

        • Not all CPUs can support all speeds, same with motherboards. Any RAM is prone to this.

      • Getting the wrong products, second hand, etc.

    • +3

      What's wrong with this RAM?

      • I don't think there's anything wrong with it but if it's for AMD select the AMD option at $211 or you may not get the rated speed out of it.

          Nyeh it's mostly just marketing crap to make you pay more.

        • +1

          The non AMD version worked fine at the advertised speeds and spec with my 3600/b550. As long as it isn't underclocking, I dont see the big issue. It's cheap, big RAM that works.

          • +1

            @Kill Joy: I had the non amd version and couldn't get it past 3000 and that took a lot of tweaking on an r53600 b450 mortar max.
            Researching my problem I found many others in the same situation so maybe its another example of the silicon lottery.
            Fortunately amazon let me return for a full credit

          Latest Gigabyte X570 F20 bios onwards fixed all XMP issues I had with this ram.

          Before that I had to do a lot of manual tweaking to get it to work.

        I personally have had a stick DOA, easy swap at the local Umart. Apparently it's very common with their Corsair RAM. I probably would buy in-person as a result given my previous experiences.

      Whats a better option than this?

        This would have been better if you jumped on it. I'm convincing myself not to buy pc parts.

        • +1

          This is better because it uses Micron ICs, which are very good for overclocking without paying B-die tax.

  • +2

    I'm using this exact RAM on my Asus Prime X570-P/CSM motherboard, R7 3700X. Seems to work fine running at 3200MHz.

    • I run mine on a Z170 motherboard and I get unstable boots at 3200MHz.

  • Aren't G.Skill kits regularly $169 though? And local stock?

    Edit: Yeah.

    • +2

      If only they didn't charge you for using credit cards or have quite high shipping fees.

      • They do that?

        • +2

          Postage to metro area is $11.52, and then they tack on additional fee of 1% on total order + shipping.

      • And gives you headache on return, warranty replacement etc

  • I bought the same Kit for my B550 & 3600 build. Works fine at advertised speeds for XMP 3200mhz CL16 - but had no overclock ability (as would be expected).

    • What was the version on the sticker? If it's Samsung C-die I've never seen it refuse to do 3600CL18.

      • v4.32 I defintiely had no luck even when using the latest version of the Ryzen memory tool thingy. All the safe dafaults failed boot. I'm actually fine with stock XMP clocks though. I wont miss 1-2 frames will gaming.

        • +1

          Yeah that's probably because you used B-die for the calculations. It's not B-die. You calculate with "Samsung OEM", it doesn't offer speeds past 3600 for calculation though.

          • @Void: I used the tool to read the RAM versions and put all those values into the tool with the export/import function. Why samsung OEM instead of the reported type? (B or C die cant remember)

            • @Kill Joy: The SPD which Thaiphoon reads is wrong on most Corsair kits. So the only way to tell would be through the version sticker on the DIMM itself.

              • @Void: hmmm thats really interesting. Okay, I'll give it a shot as Samsung OEM and see if it sticks.

              • @Void: I've just set it to samsung OEM and now i cant import XMP profile, and i cant set a frequency above 3466 CL16 (in DRM calculator it says unsupporteD) - is it even worth it at that point? Probably should stick with 3200 CL16 just for stability.

                • @Kill Joy: Yeah 3466 is still good. You can't import XMP, you will have to use PCB revision from the raw card in Thaiphoon Burner. That's the one thing it has right. Manually overclocking will get you a lot further.

    • depends on the version you get…

      v4.31 - B Die - I managed to get this to 3733 16-17-16-16-34/1T 24hr memtest86 stable.

      AIDA64
      Read - 56xxx MB/s
      Write - 55xxx MB/s
      Copy - 59xxx MB/s
      Latency - 65-67 ns…

      my other kit version v4.32 i couldn't clock it past 3600… so pretty much left it stock at the rated 3200 CL16 speed.
      No issues with boots…

      tested this pretty much on the Tomahawk Max B450, Mortar Max B450, ASUS TUF x570

        I clocked mine at 4000 with 20-24-24-24-40 timings, but I got frequent failures to post from IMC. My permanent OC is 3666 18-21-18-20-30 at 1.3V. I used to have 3733 18-21-18-20-30 at 1.35V but Windows 2004 ratted out my infinity fabric instability with WHEA errors. You should be able to clock it past 3600 with 1.35V. It's Samsung C-die btw. Make sure you cool the C-die, I'd say it's more sensitive than B-die.

        Also memtest86 has to be the weakest test, watch TestMem5 turn your "stable" OC into a hot mess.

        Btw this was G.Skill Value RAM, bare PCB 2666CL19 bin.

        • +1

          awesome! thanks for the tip around testmem5.. i'll try out this application :)…

          have you attempted to up the voltage to around 1.4? Set SOC to around 1.115v? VDDG/VDDP to .950
          I didn't really bother with the 4.32 as this was sitting inside one of the esxi host…

          • @da1nonly: 1.4V is the danger zone for C-die. It's best to keep it under 1.35V. I already had SOC at 1.12V, I bumped it up to 1.15V but I still got intermittent WHEA errors. I tried increasing VDDG from 800mV (it negatively scales fsr) to 810mV (anything higher has audio crackle) and gave VDDP another 20mV with no improvement.

      • Same experience with my v4.32 - only happy at stock XMP settings.

  • Off topic: i want to buy something from amazon us , does it shows price in Australian dollars or us? I have amazon prime but is says to buy minimum $49 international order for free shopping , my order cost is around $17, is it possible to get free delivery?

    • If the link is Amazon.com.au, price are in AUD. And yes, free prime international shipping kicks in at $49AUD spend for prime eligible items.

      • User-photo does check out : )

      • How can I search for more items in the us , making it $49 for free delivery. I don't know what to buy though but need to make $49

      Just make sure the browser is amazon.com.au.

    For those who want to get this RAM for Ryzen this article is SUPER helpful!!

    Conclusion snippet:

    For anyone who isn’t interested in manually tightening timings and adjusting voltages, a 3600MHz XMP kit like this one or a high-quality 3200MHz kit is the obvious choice. 3600MHz is the clearly defined limit of easy performance gains from memory frequency on Ryzen, and we saw our 3200MHz CL14 TridentZ RGB kit perform at nearly the same level as G.Skill’s 3600MHz CL16 kits in most tests when using XMP—timings are important. For what it’s worth, we didn’t see glitches or huge performance losses past 3600MHz in any of the tests—performance just stops scaling or takes a minor hit.

  • Waiting for Aus stock

  • I've had the 8GB variants in my PC for a little over a year, haven't had any problems with it at all.

    The paor of RAM has historical high failure rate. G.skill is way more reliable trade off their price.
