Corsair 178300 Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4 3200 MHz C16 XMP 2.0 High Performance Desktop Memory Kit for AMD Ryzen, Black

Product Information

When using DRAM Calculator for Ryzen I also discovered their timings more closely matched the "Samsung OEM" profile so that may be the info that might really help you out the most if you use that utility. I am wondering if anyone has this exact RAM/memory and if they have a Ryzen system, what speed they are able to get? My online research has found till now that everyone with hynix chip (RAM version 5.39) have the Intel optimized(B) module while those who owns the samsung b-die (RAM version 4.31) have the AMD Optimized(Z) module. I may consider moving over to the Z version if that's a better option. I know people have really good results getting higher speeds and tighter timings with the Samsung B-die Z version so I'm not sure why the B version I have has different specs if it's the same memory module on there. The clever and stylish, low-profile design of DDR4 LPX memory means it can fit comfortably into much smaller spaces. The LPX series of Vengeance DRAM was prepared for when the first of the Micro ATX and Mini-ITX motherboards for DDR4 memory released. In any system that has minimal internal space the small form factor of the LPX DDR4 RAM from Corsair is ideal.

If your problem is you can't get your XMP kit to run at XMP frequency then start with JEDEC speeds first (2133 to 2666) with XMP DRAM voltage.It may be that the CMK16GX4M2B3200C16 (Optimized for Intel) is using the less expensive and worse hynix chips (they have problems with AM4 but works good with Intel) while I used the import feature from Thaiphoon because I noticed that even though I put in the correct specifications in all the main fields like rank, number of modules, frequency etc the timings still changed when I used the imported file in DRAM calculator. I left Samsung b-die instead of Samsung OEM, as you suggested, because that would give me invalid numbers. Then I heard about what you said about tRFC and I set the alternative setting (432) as well as the tWRRD (3). Any update or reports of this working at that speed or native 3200 mhz on Ryzen AM4 motherboards? Also, does it matter whether it's a B350 or X370 motherboard? With my kit going from DDR4-3200 to DDR4-3400 it wasn't worth it with the looser timings I couldn't seem to trim down, but to my surprise (on the older BIOS) it did allow DDR4-3600 and that fit better with the scaled up timings I had to use anyway.

I don't know. I haven't been able to confirm what that version really "is" from anywhere. I suspect it's just lower grade b-die. Like I was trying to say to paridoth I think for ver. 4.32 the memory type correlates to "Samsung OEM" in Dram Calculator. Overall memory support on my MSI B350M Mortar Arctic has gotten a lot better as well. With B-Dies it can even boot DDR4-3600 into Windows without manual adjustments just on A-XMP. You do still have to make some manual adjustments for full stablity, but that is still a big improvment compared to the early AM4 days. Generally I've had good results when enabling GearDown and disabling PowerDown with both my LPX and RGB kits and Zen+ and Zen2 CPU's. Keeping DRAM voltage near 1.35v seemed to be a sweet spot as using higher voltages didn't seem to have any improving effects for my RGB kit and keeping SOC between 1.0v and 1.1v. Glad to report that the system did POST and everything seems to be working smoothly. Did some mem testing for around 10 minutes and it didnt crash, so I guess the pc is usable for now. I will stress test and benchmark tomorrow, too tired now.Why do you run WinRAR benchmark that takes about 30 seconds to complete when you have 1 second resolution. You don't actually expect DDR4-3200 compared to DDR4-2400 to give you a 3.3% boost on overall system performance when your previous benchmark showed that the gain in pure memory bandwidth is around 10-15% and the latency boost is around 3%. Assuming your chips are the same kind of Samsung as mine (based on version) it may exhibit similar properties to mine. The DDR4 form factor is optimized for the latest AMD and Intel DDR4 motherboards and offers higher frequencies, greater bandwidth, and lower power consumption than DDR3 modules. Vengeance LPX DDR4 modules are compatibility-tested across AMD and Intel DDR4 motherboards for reliably fast performance. What is the difference between these two kits: CMK16GX4M2Z3200C16 vs. CMK16GX4M2B3200C16. I will be using it with the r7 1700 with the C6H. What kit is the best to get the highest speed on? I plan on getting 2 sets of them. Are there any other kits you recommend that can fit while using the NH-D15?

The small form factor makes it ideal for smaller cases or any system where internal space is at a premium.I have a bit of a memory dilemma. I want top upgrade to 32gb of ram, I currently have CMK16GX4M2B3200C16 on a Ryzen 3600X system. I am very sorry for my post being so long and please excuse me if my English is not perfect, but it's not my native language. Hi thanks for the reply, did not get anywhere with dram calc and got so tired to reset cmos every time so funny enough I tried your values and that was the best I could get I think for 3600Mhz on my Tomahawk Max board.

The CMK16GX4M2B3200C16 seems to be optimized for Intel boards. It runs at a slightly higher voltage than the CMK16GX4M2Z3200C16 and supports XMP 2.0. The CMK16GX4M2Z3200C16 appears to be optimized for Ryzen. I don't know if it matters about BIOS version or motherboard manufacturer but I was planning on considering a Ryzen build. It's a theory that may seems reasonable but I cannot confirm for sure in any way and would be interesting to understand the difference.
