  • is 18-22-22-42 timings for the 3600 ok?

    • It's slow

    • -1

      I think the 3200mhz one might actually have higher bandwidth

      • +1

        3600MHz will still have more bandwidth.

        Latency will be better on the 3200MHz kit though, those timings do suck.

  • Would this be a good option to overclock the shoot out of a 5950x?

  • +1

    Awesome been waiting to claim this on my price protection for ages. Will get $70 back!!!

  • FYI: I have this kit. Frequent BSODs when set to 3200MHz. You get what you pay for I guess.

      Test it with this https://www.memtest.org/

      Written in Sydney.

      • terrible software, use something like tm5 with anta1 extreme config
        or hci memtest
        or occt memtest
        or any number of imc stress tests to test that aswell

        just dont use memtest86, outdated ass software that i could set extremely unstable settings on and run it on there for months

      Do what Redhab said test it to narrow down the problem. If you're sure its the memory that's faulty, then rma it.

    • sounds like a faulty unit

    • what is your CPU? never had a BSOD

      • 8700K

        • is it stable at 3200 MHz with current motherboard ( Memory Types DDR4-2666) ?

          • +1

            @bazingaa: Currently running at 3000MHz. Haven't had a BSOD or game crashes since coming down from 3200MHz. Mobo is an Asus Z390-E Gaming.

              @albert0pia: if you want go to https://ocbase.com/ and download it. run the memory test using sse, if it errors then yknow

              • @abjsdhasehasee: thanks for the link, how long should we run it ?

                • +1

                  @bazingaa: depends. 1 hour minimum.

                  although i only linked that cause its 'easy' to use with a friendly interface

                  id recommend this
                  https://www.overclock.net/threads/memory-testing-with-testme…
                  download it, load profile Extreme1@anta777 and run for 3 cycles minimum if your just testing for faulty ram or changing timings / frequency

                  and 9 cycles if youve done an overclock and wanna do a final stability test (along with 1 hour off occt mem sse and avx) (can also do 1000% of hci memtest along with that if your paranoid)

            • @albert0pia: May be memory controller can't use 3200 ? I didn't change anything manually, just enabled XMP profile 1 for 3200 MHz on Gigabyte B550M-DS3H + 5600x

              • +1

                @bazingaa: I had zero problems with a Corsair Vengeance LPX 2x8GB kit using the XMP II profile. This Aegis one didn't work well with them unless I ran all 4 sticks at 3000MHz.

                I'll be running extensive tests tonight like everyone advised. Thanks

                • @albert0pia: Ah! are you using Corsair Vengeance LPX 2x8GB + Aegies 2x16GB together ? I have seen someone mentioned in another thread that there could be issues even with 4x8GB Aegies but can't remember the exact issue mentioned or find that thread now.

                • @albert0pia: thats clearly your problem. mixing dies or running 4x8 c die or something.

                  xmp isnt guaranteed for 4x8 sticks when you buy it in a 2x8 config

                  • @abjsdhasehasee: The sticks by themselves don't work reliably at 3200MHz. I had these 2 kits (Corsair and G.Skill) running smoothly at 3000MHz for a while before giving the former away. I know very little about RAM so didn't really care about finding a solution or getting a replacement. I simply kept it because of my Chrome tabs and VMs.

                      @albert0pia: mk makes sense, too many variables at play so impossible to troubleshoot. if it doesnt error at 3000mhz i wouldnt even bother messing with it.

      Usually this happens when your IMC and/or infinity fabric if on Ryzen can't handle the speed, which is fixable by adjusting SOC/VDDG/VDDP on Ryzen or VCCIO/VCCSA on Intel.

      If that isn't the problem then it could be heat, especially considering this is Samsung C-die most of the time. I know I had to get a fan over my DIMMs to get them to run stable in my old case at 1.35V.

  • noobie questions. does ram timing make a big difference? what would be considered good ?

    • does ram timing make a big difference?

      Yes for example it allows better, more consistent 0.01% lowest frame times which means games feel smoother.

      what would be considered good ?

      I think the current thinking is 3600MHz CL16 for Ryzen is a good minimum as far as gaming.

      Higher Mhz, lower CL is better but they both increase together.

    • +1

      It's a tricky one to answer - it depends who you ask, what they consider a "big difference", and price vs performance.

      For example, in some games, RAM with higher frequency but higher latency (e.g., 3200MHz & CL16) may end up yielding similar FPS compared to a lower frequency & lower latency kit (e.g., 3000MHz & CL14).
      Pulling numbers out of my behind, at 1080P, there might be like, a 5% difference at best in favour of either side depending on the game.

      For stuff like video editing, compressing & extracting zip files, and other non-gaming related tasks, I have no idea if there's any real world difference.

      I have 32GB of 3200MHz 16-18-18-36 (Ryzen 2700, GTX1070) and for someone who games & video edits on 1080P, it's pretty smooth - would I be missing some kind of performance gain by not using lower latency RAM? Probably. Do I care? No, because my system works buttery smooth.

      • I have the same timings on my ram running Rx 6900 and Ryzen 5600x. Should I upgrade my ram? (32gb 3200,MHz, c16,18,18,36

        • It’s a lot of investment for a marginal improvement in performance.

      • Probably. Do I care? No, because my system works buttery smooth.

        sounds exactly like me. no point of getting 16 GB with good die if you can get 32 GB for the same price.

      Literally unnoticable if your buying it for xmp, 3600 c18 xmp vs 3200 c16 xmp vs 3000 c15 xmp vs 3600 c16 xmp*.

      you buy ram for the die, for ryzen, either some micron die or if your a baller, then some samsung b die and you overclock it yourself and also tighten the secondary and tertiary timings (that xmp barely touches cause they want it to always be compatible with absoloutely terrible imc and mobos so that they have less RMA's)

  • got this for $179 delivered from last ebay plus deal
    it is working perfectly at 3200 though

  • would this suit a ryzen 3600?

  • +1

    They jacked the price of this by $10 since this post last week, just FYI
