Which DDR4 for 3700x+B450 ?

[human1969]

Hi,

Looking for a pair of DDR4 to match 3700x + B450.
Not going to OC, but want a rock stable system,
preferable something that run at 1.2V.

Which speed will be the best bet ?

The MB spec states a long list of DDR speed.
Not sure what is the sweet spot.

3600 is the sweet spot.

I would say 3200. 3600 is better but rams a rather costly.

u'll probably looking at hynix AFR/CJR/MFR which wont cost as expensive as Samsung B-die.

@ 3200, cheaper Hynix should be able to do 16 17 17, higher binned module can do 14 17 17

@ 3600, cheaper Hynix can do 18 20 20, higher binned mebe can go 16 18/19 18/19

Get the Ballistic from Amazon at 75 USD and overclock to 3600

Local shop, Corsair Vegeance RBG PRO 3200 DDR4.
Easily OC to 3600, running 1:1:1 infinity fabric @1800, temp <54c, non-aircon.
So far so good! much easier then CPU OC...

Get from Newegg.
Ballistix sport lt, either 3200 CL16 or 3000 CL15

If budget not a problem, get 3200 CL14 from any reputable brands
