I'm glad you guys were having this conversation, because it helped me realize it was time to throw in the towel on trying to get the Corsair Vengeance LED 32GB (4x8) kit I've been wrestling with to work.

I've got the Taichi X370 and that kit, and it started off solid enough. 3DMark worked, along with a few other stress tests and benchmarks - all green, all excellent. But not long into it, I started having real instability problems - OS would hard lock, POST sequence would get slow and reboot several times in a session, etc.

I've pulled out everything except the basics and tried about a bajillion different combinations of modules and slots, using ASRock and others' recommendations, and all I can get out of it are D2 and 55 board codes (memory initialization, and MAYBE PCH initialization, based on my searching). Every once in a blue moon, after reseating, clearing, etc., it'd get back into the UEFI, where it'd insist my RAM (the one or two modules max I could get it to POST with) was DDR4-2133.

I'm returning the kit to Amazon and am going to try the G.Skill FlareX 2x16 32GB kit. I'll let you guys know how/if system stability improves. Thanks for all the great links and info, though - I didn't expect this kind of info to be quite so hard to nail down. :(]]> Wed, 23 Aug 2017 11:42:42 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5846&PID=34683&title=x370-taichi-corsair#34683 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5846&PID=34470&title=x370-taichi-corsair#34470 Author: datonyb

Wow! thanks Datonyb for the great help, I was about to give up on 32GB and get 16GB until the rams get more mature.
Seems I have some shopping later today, Thanks again man!

well i found the kit i mentioned in germany and a bit cheaper than the slower kit you found

http://www.warehouse2.de/de/arbeitsspeicher/ddr4/ddr4-3000/32gb-ddr4-3200-kit-g-skill-f4-3200c14d-32gtz-trident-z

the trouble your facing is 32gb is expensive relatively for any brand 32gb and add to that the speed puts quite a premium on top 2400/2666 is a lot cheaper

here is the list of autherised gskill sellers in germany

Hi Datonyb,

The closest option to what you mentioned in my place is:
https://www.amazon.de/G-Skill-F4-3000C14D-32GTZ-Speichermodule-DDR4-32GB/dp/B01ASWPIH4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1502743847&sr=8-1&keywords=g.skill+ddr4+32gb

Those are 372 euro (very expensive), what do you think?

ive just checked on rymem website
(this is a database of actual users and there results)
and this guys using these ram kits/sticks got 3200 cl14 with 32gb

F4-3200C14-16GTZ  (this is the software reported identity number of each stick)
the actual kit should be labelled retail as
f4-c3200cl14-32gtz

well to be fair none of us is brave enough to state for 100% sure fully compatable ram
allthough what we have learned is
the most sucessful ram seems to be brands containing samsung dies/chips and of them the chips labelled samsung E dies

you wont get these in 16 gb stick is seems, also to be certain of samsung b dies with gskill ram
it seems you need to choose 3200mhz and faster and the timing/latency of cl15 or cl14
sounds confusing not really its because samsumg make the nicest chips for ram so the faster ram with lower latency tends to need samsung dies....

the model number of my ram is
f4-c3200cl15-16gtz  this is a 2 x 8gb set though so only 16 gb
another guy near me also has exact same ram kit and shares the same if not better experiance with them
if i were to offer my best advice
that would be
gskill tridentz ram or flarex
or *GOOD*  team group ram (overclockers uk has been having reliable results using these in there kits)

Edit: how about these?

as a suggestion

will the gskill trident z clear your cooler ? (im pretty confident its lower profile than those hyperx rams)

i am using 2 x 8 gb 3200 cl15 and its been very very stable since day one bios version 1.5 onwards (on my taichi)
