If you ask me, I say just go with whichever is cheaper. I'm running a Vengeance LPX 3200MHz 2x8GB kit (Samsung E-die) at 2933.

Because trying to get RAM to run at 3200MHz on Ryzen isn't only about the RAM sticks themselves. It seems like a combination of factors:

- CPU silicon lottery, particularly with the IMC: with my first 1600X, no POST at all above 2400. My second (current) 1600X allowed the exact same RAM sticks (exact same mobo, bios version, and OC profile) to run at 2933. The CPU cores themselves also OC waaaaaayyy better.

- Motherboard: different mobo also different success rate. Could be due to bios, power delivery, or whatever. Not sure.

- Patience with tweaking voltages, timings and sub-timings. It's easy for Intel chips, where the sweet spot is already there in the form of XMP. For Ryzen, everyone is still looking for the sweet spot...


edit: Some people on the AMD subreddit swear by the CL14 G-skill kits. If you have the budget?

Just FYI, your Corsair RAM is not under Corsair's Ryzen Compatibility List.

I know that Corsair AMD compatible RAMs the packaging will write but Qoo10 cannot see packaging anw so.. hahaha

Personally, I feel Amazon is still cheaper. Here even after coupon discount + gift card 3% discount, you are still looking at about 200 bucks for the Corsair ram.
