Question Which Ram Kit Is Better? Cosair vs G.Skill

[Iron Woode]

G.SKILL Trident Z RGB 3600 MHz CL18 16GB (F4-3600C18D-16GTZRX)

Corsair Vengeance Pro RGB 3600 MHz CL18 16GB (CMW16GX4M2Z3600C18)

The G.Skill kit has a $10 premium over the Corsair, is it worth it?

This is for my new AMD build and I am deciding on ram now. I need the pros and cons.

I have not decided on a motherboard yet, except that it will be an X570 board.

Thanks. 🙂

I would probably pick the one that is on the QVL list....

Now, that is a good thing.

The boards I am looking at have both of those kits on their QVL.

The Corsair kit has higher user reviews across multiple sites (Newegg, Amazon, etc).

You probably can throw 50% of those reviews out of the window, but I'd personally get the Corsair kit.

If you don't need RGB, you likely could pick up a CAS 16 kit for roughly the same price.

i know you hate LED's but can you find
CMW16GX4M2K3600C16 as those are Samsung B-dies.

Infact if for a ryzen build i would probably only get ram on this list, as its pretty much gaurentee'd not to mess up even when using overclocked settings:

Find Samsung B-Die DDR 4 memory kits on Amazon, Newegg and many more.

Shrug. I think that those are the Trident Z RGB (Hynix) CAS18 kit I have in here, actually two kits, running @ XMP (DDR4-3600) in an Asus B450-F ROG STRIX with a R5 3600. Mostly stable.

I don't think many people would count the bolded part as a product endorsement. 😛

I meant my system as a whole, and not strictly the RAM. I think that the RAM's fine.

Ryzen + B-Die is synonymous to Super Model + Lingerie.

You just need to pair them to understand.

Although i hear samsung makes an A die now... but, IMO not enough cases to say its as good as B-Die.

Now you have me rethinking my RAM...

Now you have me rethinking my RAM...

if you have no problems with your current ram its not worth it.

if your picking out a new system, then i would pay a little more and get what is optimal.

I guess that explains why my b-die runs at 3800 CL15 without any issues. Hopefully it won't fall off the runway anytime soon.
