[RAM] Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3200MHz: $66.99 from $79.99 (16% off)

Got it that makes sense, I wasn't sure if there were specific XMP profiles or if it was some kind of calculation based on what MHZ you put in.

While you're here, any clue if this ram has a chance at running at 3466 or should I just keep it at 3200?

Here is the same ram just with no RGB on for $59.99.

I have a Zotac GTX 960, it can barely decode HEVC 8bit@4K, but it's a reliable piece of hardware. God of War Collection for PS3, Super Mario 3D World, Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze and The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild all play smoothly at 1080p (don't have a 4K monitor to try, but I wouldn't expect much without a better GPU).

EDIT: I'm using this RAM modules. The motherboard is ASRock Steel Legend B450 and supports up to 64GB @3600Mhz (I believe).

This ram kit is faster https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-3200MHz-Desktop-Memory/dp/B0143UM4TC/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=corsair+vengeance+lpx+16gb&qid=1596823517&sprefix=corsair+&sr=8-1

Snagged it first, asking questions later :D Anyone care to speak on how this would compare to Corsair Vengeance LPX ?

What about this: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3200MHz C16 Desktop Memory Kit - Black (CMK16GX4M2B3200C16) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0143UM4TC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_4HfpEbZ1AXW43

Anarchy seems to be a product line for PNY, never even knew they made ram.

Anyways, it's not really cheap, Corsair sticks are only a couple dollars more, might wanna get these instead: https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-3200MHz-Desktop-Memory/dp/B0143UM4TC?s=electronics

A Ryzen cpu realy like fast memory speed 3200 mhz is Minimum i would say

this is also a good one

Ok good to know than you very much, I’m assuming dragon software won’t auto download or anything?

Also, for setting XMP what you do recommend I set it to? I plan on using this ram here:

https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-3000MHz-Desktop-Memory/dp/B0143UM4TC?th=1&psc=1

Thanks again. As you can tell, I still have a bit to learn.

Edit: for reference I use MSI afterburner to monitor performance typically.

Thanks for the info, I will look into the SSD for sure.

I can definitely fit Corsair Vengeance 3200 MHz into my budget, is that a good option?

For under $70 you could get some 3200 mhz ram, this is corsair but there are cheaper options

You can customize it or change the amount too if you'd like

Any two sticks to run in dual channel, 3200mhz 16gb RAM should be plenty. It will run you about 80-90bucks. You don’t need to get this specific one but this is pretty much a good option. If you want rgb ram there’s choices for like 10 bucks more all over amazon.

Ram right now would be your main priority you can get some really good ddr4 3200 speed for really cheap with options like RGB sticks for under 100 still. After that I highly recommend a cpu as I highly doubt your current is handling a 2060 to well

I just built a very similar computer in january. Overall it looks very good, but i have 2 suggestions: you can probably go with the stock cooler unless you plan on overclocking, and you dont need to overclock. I have the same cpu and i went stick cooler. Second if youre trying to lower price more, you can probably find the exact same ram for cheaper if its non rgb. Lighting costs money. Take this with a grain of salt because it was the first thing to pop up on google, but i found this (https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-2x16GB-3200MHz-Memory-CMK32GX4M2B3200C16/dp/B0143UM4TC?th=1&psc=1) ram for $80 instead of $98. Add that to not needing a cooler and you get $63 dollars of savings, which puts you almost back to $1200.

Yes, you will need new RAM. Something like this would be fine

That's just the way it goes when you're upgrading an older system like that.

Aside from the case size possibly being an issue.. That should hopefully be it.

Although.. What kind of Power supply do you currently have? Do you know it's wattage?

Also, do you have the stock CPU cooler that came with the 3700x? If not, you will have to get a new CPU cooler as well.

What kind of GPU do you have?

Will these RAMs be compatible: https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-3000MHz-Desktop-Memory/dp/B0143UM4TC?th=1 It doesn't say anything about the Z300 series compatibility, so I may need RAMs here :/

the tried and true recommendation for a long time has been the corsair vengeance LPX 2x8 3200MHz C16 kit. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0143UM4TC

7th gen intel doesnt benefit much from higher RAM speeds than 3200 and CAS latency ratings lower than 16. These DIMMs are a great value, and are low profile, so they should physically fit with pretty much any system out there.

I just installed 2x8 Corsair vengeance lpx thanks to another reddit user who has a Trident x plus. Tight fit but my system is running great. Here’s a link to the exact model I purchased.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0143UM4TC?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

Corsair Vengeance 16 GB, good value without breaking the bank.... https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-3200MHz-Desktop-Memory/dp/B0143UM4TC/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=corsair+vengeance+lpx+16gb&qid=1601926650&sprefix=corsair+veng&sr=8-3

The RGB version to it is like $100.

Personally I'm not sure why people are concerned over a chipset fan, as I haven't noticed any audible difference with my particular case, and if your case has good enough airflow then it really shouldn't matter anyway for temperatures.

As for VRMs, they were not a selling point for me personally, but it's not something I've researched much nor know a whole lot about. When I shop for a motherboard, I tend to just pick a brand I trust (such as ASRock) at a relatively mid-range price point, make sure it's compatible with everything else, make sure reviews are generally positive, and go with it. If you've done your research enough and know that the X470 Taichi is a good board, then by all means go for it. It is definitely compatible with a 3600.

As for the RAM, I have never seen that particular set from G.Skill. I did do some research on RAM before buying DDR4 last year (as I was going from DDR3), and I just ended up going with what is probably the most popular set, the Corsair Vengeance LPX 3200MHz which seems to pair well with a 3600. You just might want to consider upping to 3200MHz or even 3600MHz if your budget allows, as I see you're going with 32GB.

Btw, if you want the cheapest samsung b-die there is, this 3200mhz CL16 is the way to go. There's only 3 or 4 manufacturers that actually make the RAM itself then third parties take it and make it into their own brand, kinda like video cards do. Samsung is the best. It's $62 for 16gb 3200mhz CL16 and normally Samsung B-die RAM is double that price. I got this ram myself and couldn't believe it was Samsung until I got it and used a program that can check who made the die

He hasn’t a single clue what his sticks say for timings/speed. I told him to open up his computer case and take pictures/a video of the inside (he lives across the country from me & knows nothing of computers, so, educating him and teaching him has been challenging, but worth it) and get that to me so I can take a look. He hasn’t sent it yet, but said he will soon. Once I know, I can get back to you! I’m just wondering what speeds his MB can handle. Don’t most MBs have a “capacity” or “limit” on how high speeds can go? I won’t try to teach him to OC speeds right now, either. I just want it to be plug and play for him for now.

Edit: I ordered him https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0143UM4TC?tag=pcpapi-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1 for now. It'll arrive on Monday and we'll get back to you then!

This memory is great

How do these compare to the Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 DRAM 3200MHz C16?

Would this be a reasonable replacement for the RAM?

https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-3200MHz-Desktop-Memory/dp/B0143UM4TC

So would something like this be the best thing to do over changing out cpu?

Link to Ram

I looked it up and apparently you have DDR4 memory at 2666mhz. I highly recommend upgrading to 16gb of 3000/3200mhz DDR4 because it will work a lot better with your AMD CPU

Here’s an example: https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-3200MHz-Desktop-Memory/dp/B0143UM4TC

Is new RAM necessary? I have this currently https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0143UM4TC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_yOnEFbSGJF5WD

Maybe you should get 8×2 3200Mhz memory

https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-3200MHz-Desktop-Memory/dp/B0143UM4TC

Here are some if you can return that and get a refund maybe. Good luck building your pc :)

I'd maybe go with this ram? https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-3200MHz-Desktop-Memory/dp/B0143UM4TC

And you can go with a 550w psu and use the extra money for a better gpu

It’s a solid build. One thing definitely needs a change, which is RAM. 8gb isn’t going to cut it in 2020, even less for VR. I suggest going for 16, which looks like it’s the good spot for most people.

I have a good set I can recommend, this one.

The RAM is cheaper new too lol. 2x8GB for $75.99 https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-3200MHz-Desktop-Memory/dp/B0143UM4TC

Corsair Vengance LPX 16GB 3200 C16

Is this worth it over getting less ram (16gb) for less money ($68), with slightly better timings? The ram I was about to buy before seeing this is 16gb Corsair Vengeance LPX 3200mhz 16-18-18. My build has a Ryzen 3700x cpu and it will mostly be for productivity work (programming for my job) and some gaming.

​

So should I fork over another \~$30 for 32gb of ram even though this one has slightly worse timings? Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

Yeah I think I have it figured out....Apparently its a RAM compatibility issue. I was looking at the memory list on the Asrock b450m Pro4.... Apparently a huge difference in supported RAM esp with the 1600AF. It just is weird to me that 2 sticks runs at 3200Mhz and all four in will drop to 2133Mhz.

So I want ahead and found one of the few kits that should work, Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3200MHz

No consumer board or cpus support ecc memory so your argument makes no sense

As for the gamer comment, you realize they do in fact make ram with just a basic heatsink as well right?:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0143UM4TC/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_.erlEbQ86WB4N

No rgb, no crazy tall GaMeR aStHeTiC type heatsinks, just a basic stick of ram with a basic "just remove heat" heatsink

Non RGB - $66.99

https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-3200MHz-Desktop-Memory/dp/B0143UM4TC/ref=pd_ys_c_rfy_193870011_4?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B0143UM4TC&pd_rd_r=7RGZCQ1YA6JJ5HPR73AR&pd_rd_w=9Jbix&pd_rd_wg=Y6kwp&pf_rd_p=c2ad3d07-d7e3-43fb-88c4-8f11c52cb5d0&pf_rd_r=7RGZCQ1YA6JJ5HPR73AR&psc=1&refRID=DKRATHVV6WQFW78ZC187

I didn’t take a look at the ram because unless it’s like CL19 or worse I don’t think he’s going to notice the difference. Yes there is a percentage different but it’s not like going from 3600MHz to 2133MHz which is about a 25% loss in performance. Anything at or above 3000MHz is good. I would go with a this kit of Corsair Vengeance 2x8gb 3200MHz CL15 ram

Yeah, sure. Though I bought it on the local market, Amazon seems to have it, too. Here!

damn you almost gave me a heart attack. Luckily I upgraded the ram last year to this which I think should be functional with what you're talking about

I think this will be good https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-3200MHz-Desktop-Memory/dp/B0143UM4TC
