Hello Josh,
No, you don't have to set anything. The only important thing is the dual channel (if you look at the RAM slots, it is always 1+3 and 2+4 with 4 slots).
But since you buy 2 additional slots, this is done automatically anyway, you don't have to set anything unless you want to overclock the RAM (voltage etc.).
hey, i have the 2x 16GB of these sticks running on a MSI B450 Tomahawk @3333Mhz. my cpu is a 2700X, so i'm pretty sure it will work with a 3700x as well. the Tomahawk board is a good choice, it has enough power for a 3900x.
Servus.
I would choose 2 slots with 32 GB each.
Then you still have the option to upgrade to 128 GB with an additional 2 x 32 GB.
Greetings from Bavaria
No. You need DDR3 RAM and not DDR4 RAM. Please check the specifications of your mainboard. -> https://www.asus.com/ch-de/Motherboards/H87ME/specifications/ -> DDR3 1600/1333/1066 MHz. For example the following product: HyperX Fury (2x, 8GB, DDR3-1600, DIMM 240)
What do you think you can achieve with 4000 and co. if your CPU is only designed for up to 2666 Mhz? It won't be any more, you can put whatever you want into it.
it's quite unlikely. they are for desktop pc-s, they are quite big with heatsinks.
laptops need much smaller ram modules.
i think it should be possible to filter the results for laptop rams.
Will you also include the Ryzen variant in the range?
According to Corsair, there are three different types of this RAM.
(CMK16GX4M 2B 3200 C15)
(CMK16GX4M 2Z 3200 C16)
(CMK16GX4M 2B 3200 C16)
Attention all! The two variants with 2B in the code are designed for Intel (with different timings C15/C16). Only those with code 2Z are optimised and tested for Ryzen!
Since I am personally planning my upgrade to Ryzen, this would be a very interesting variant, as I have a limited budget.
The difference is actually insignificant, as you may have noticed, only one letter in the manufacturer number is different. This means that the cheaper version (CMK16GX4M2D3600C18) is also optimised for older chipsets, e.g. Intel Z390. Nowadays, however, this makes no real difference.
To the second question: They have identical specifications (also e.g. latency). So there is no difference in performance here. It is best to buy the bars that you like better visually or that fit your system better.
Hi, I have the old i7-8700k (max 2666 MHz) with a Z370 that could max 4000 MHz.
The actual RAM has 3000 MHz per XPM, no problems, only has to be upgraded to 2x 16 GB and not so long ago I wanted to take one with 4000 MHz, unfortunately it goes up to a maximum of 2747 MHz and now I actually thought that a 3600 per XMP without having to intervene deeply in the system.I thought that a 3600 with XMP would only run at a maximum of 2747 MHz per "Ai Tweak" including XMP. Now the question is whether at least 3200 MHz with XMP would work? The base clock is probably 2133, except for the 3000 Mhz with 2x 8 GB
Short version
3000 MHz (2x 8 GB) (DDR4 3000MHz) = no problem with XMP = 3000 MHz
3600 MHz (2x 16 GB) (DDR4 2133MHz) = problems with XMP, no video signal, via "Ai Tweak" and the "Video editing" profile = 2747 MHz
4000 MHz (2x 16 GB) (DDR4 2133MHz) = problems with XMP, no video signal, per "Ai Tweak" and the "Video editing" profile = 2747 MHz
