New X370 Taichi build

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Greetings,

I am ordering a new PC, and it will have an X370 Taichi motherboard.  I will be running a Ryzen 1700x.  What is the best, fastest RAM that this board supports?  RGB is a plus, but not absolutely necessary.  Thanks!

Scythe

	That's a whopper of an open ended question. Stock? OC'd? Water or air cooled? Supports? See the first link below. Will work? See lines two and three below. http://asrock.com/mb/Intel/Z370%20Taichi/index.us.asp#Specification http://asrock.com/mb/Intel/Z370%20Taichi/index.us.asp#Memory http://www.gskill.com/en/configurator?manu=52&chip=2952&model=2985 .

	Thank you. I will be checking out those links. I am looking for the fastest, most stable 16GB RAM that I can get for gaming/future-proofing. I added significant cooling to the build in order to tamper with overclocking down the road. Scythe

	Much posted will prove anecdotal, as from system to system you'd discover nuances that can make a lot of difference. Wish I could have done better yet there isn't really a "better' to do.

	I think that I am narrowing it down to RGB Trident sticks, either 3200 or 3600. Something tells me not to bother with anything faster. I like the look of the Dominator Platinum, however. They are high-performance with lightbars, or adding the Dominator RGB fan. I found some inexpensive RGB heat spreader kits, so if there are "no-frills," high performance Samsung B-die sticks out there, I can add those kits. I want to game as fast as possible for a long time (my wife agreed to an expensive machine if I get YEARS out of it.) However, I bought a Thermaltake View 71, so I am going crazy with the RGB.

	I'm currently running G.Skill Flare X F4-3200C14D-16GFX at 3466 MHz and 16-16-16-32 timings on a Taichi with a 1700 @ 3.8 GHz without issues. Prior to the Flare X kit I had G.Skill Trident Z F4-3200C16D-16GTZSW which has the Hynix chips and I could never get it to run higher than 2966 MHz. Edited by TooQik - 25 Mar 2018 at 10:16am

	IMO the person who takes christmas tree disco ball ornaments and sells them as Computer Case Bling will become rich and retire early.

	I am using the G Skill Trident Z F4-3600C16Q-32GTZR and am happy with them. This is a quad group with RGB but you can get the same in the Dual group. The number is F4-3600C16D-16GTZR. Currently running at 3333 with no issues. Just have not had time to increase the speed on the RAM. There are many memory units that are compatible with this board. I chose G Skill because I had them in my last build and over the last 25 years or so, I developed a great trust in G Skill memory. I have tried Corsair, Crucial, Patriot, Dell, G Skill, Muskin, Micron, etc, etc, etc... ,and a host of others that have claimed to be "the best OC memory and the best stable memory on the planet". For me, G Skill is the only one that fits that statement. Right now, it is who ever has the Samsung B Chips that seem to work best with the Ryzen and Asrock boards. There are many memory manufacturers that use these chips, so it is just preference to the builder and right now, I trust G Skill memory more than anyone else. But there are others that will stand behind their memory just as strongly and they work just as good. Whatever you choose, make sure that it is solid memory and make sure you know the chip manufacturer and what the series is. Also single file single rank seems to work very well. The G Skill mentioned above are SF SR.
