Hi,
I'm looking for information about the RAM I should choose for my 3990x and it seems you have a lot experience and a strong knowledge in this matter on this forum.
Could you give me some advice ?
I have an AMD 3990x and a MSI Creator. I need 128Gb and I will run this CPU full load 24/24 for volunteering Boinc projects (medical research projects mostly) and video rendering.
I assume already that 3600Mhz should be the speed i'm aiming at.
Is it better to choose 4X32GB CL18 (less sticks, less stress on memory controller)
For example F4-3600C18Q-128GTRG
Trident Z Royal
DDR4-3600MHz CL18-22-22-42 1.35V
128GB (4x32GB)
or
8x16GB CL17 and overclock it to CL16 (if it's possible ?)
F4-3600C17Q2-128GTZSW
Trident Z
DDR4-3600MHz CL17-19-19-39 1.35V
128GB (8x16GB)
or
Buy 2 kits of 4x16GB CL16 (will it work since it's not an official 128GB kit ?)
F4-3600C16Q-64GTRGC
Trident Z Royal
DDR4-3600MHz CL16-19-19-39 1.35V
64GB (4x16GB)
Let’s assume the price is the same for all the kits.
I understand that it seems the more number of stick you have the more you are stressing the memory controller and the VRM. But the timing on the 4x32 are only CL18.
I'm not sticked to G.skill only, but I like the design of their kit and they are reliable.
What are your suggestions ?
Thanks for your help
edit : or this ? 2 kit of Crucial Ballistix 64GB, DDR4-3600, CL16-18-18-38 (BL2K32G36C16U4B) Looks just perfect. Is this the new crucial B-die some of you were excited about ?
