Hi all,
I'm in the process of planning a serious upgrade from my current setup (a x58, Sintel i7 975 build).
I have decided to buy AMD this time around based upon reviews of their excellent Ryzen 3000 series, specifically the 3700X.
However, I am struggling to decide upon RAM.
The board I am wanting to get is the
Crosshair Hero 7 (VII) with a 16GB 3600mhz RAM kit (prefer 2x8GB).
However, currently the QVL is not out for this board - I've messaged Asus support already. They suggested 3600MHz is supported but they cannot recommend a specific kit that would be supported (i.e. plug and play). 3400MHz or 3200MHz is an option (probably G Skill's F4-3200C14D-16GFX).
I have produced the following Google Sheet (
link) for my options but am a little unsure on what to do and if the 400MHz in RAM speed will be noticable for my usage? I mainly game, do mods for games (compression, skinning - Photoshop and coding). I also rip blu rays and convert using handbrake occasionally.
Q) Does anyone on this forum have this board and is running a ram set at 3600MHz with a Ryzen 3000 series CPU?PS: I will be sticking with X470 as prefer to be eco friendly and I am aware from my research that the X570 boards use more power due to the PCIe 4.0 - something I do not require.
Thank you in advance for any advice or feedback
🙂
