I'm shocked I might be able to convince one more person in the world to consider ECC memory! Here are some more tips.

https://www.crucial.com/catalog/memory/micron-did-agnostic
(Filter for "ECC UDIMM" and "VLP ECC UDIMM"). VLP=VeryLowProfile.
Remember, only UDIMM (Unbuffered DIMMs) will work.

I've had good luck finding these for reasonable prices at big-business retailers like CDW. I've also had good luck with ShopBLT for other things, but I never ordered memory from them. There are likely other options out there.

I know there are Samsung EUDIMMs out there, and specialty companies like Nemix, but I've stuck to Micron & Kingston for years now, because you'll know exactly what you're getting (i.e. who manufactured the DRAM chips).

Thats sound very nice, thank you very much for that info my man is very useful for me. Let me search some rams on that kingston web and decide! I'm really appreciated ??]]> Wed, 04 Jan 2023 00:40:51 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=25295&PID=102708&title=i-need-help-choosing-memory-rams#102708 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=25295&PID=102707&title=i-need-help-choosing-memory-rams#102707 Author: eccential

To start, I'm the wrong person to be answering you because I'm crazy (see below).
That motherboard + CPU combo (R5-5600, NOT 5500/5600G) will support ECC memory, so if I were you (but you're not me), I'd use ECC memory (unbuffered only!), like these:

https://www.kingston.com/en/memory/server-premier/ddr4-3200mts-ecc-unbuffered-dimm

They have horrendously long latency (according to gamers anyway) because they're basically standard JEDEC modules, so CL22.

Any two sticks will run at 3200MT/s. Four 1R sticks will run at 2933MT/s, and four 2R sticks will run at 2667MT/s. I recommend two 2R sticks for best performance. I actually have an AsRock B550 PG-ITX setup with the same CPU (R5-5600) and two sticks of KSM32ED8/16HD running at stock speeds (3200MT/s).

But again, I'm the wrong person to answer your question because almost nobody uses ECC memory.

Guys a has a AsRock x570 Phantom Gaming 4. Ryzen 5 5600, and a 6650xt. And i has a struggle with memory speed because the standard is 3200mhz but i dont know if a buy 3600mhz and activate the xmp it will give me boot problems. I never OC things before. Btw my old rams was tridentz 3600 but never turn on xmp or oc, i think i ever run on 3200? ]]> Tue, 03 Jan 2023 01:09:54 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=25295&PID=102689&title=i-need-help-choosing-memory-rams#102689
