Hello friends,
So I jumped into this haphazardly over Memorial Day weekend when there were good sales at Micro Center.
I have a Ryzen 5 1600
Motherboard: ASrock AB350
These sticks of RAM: F4-3200C16D-16GTZR
Samsung 960 evo ssd (m.2)
HDD
Using NZXT's RGB case fans
I thought I had done my due diligence when it came to QVL, but I wasn't aware of the CL speeds issue when I bought the sticks. I thought the 2 sticks totaling16GB of the one brand was all I needed to know.
So I have those and I just ordered these after speaking to someone at G Skill.
F4-2400C15D-16GFX
I'm a sucker for the RGB if I'm spending such a chunk of change on this build, I'd like it to look all pretty like without waiting to upgrade down the road.
My question is this, which should I use, I realize that eventually the RGB sticks will work and also it's a bit of a luck of the draw thing. I'm mainly going to be playing grand strategy games, rts games, maybe some FPS and oh yeah, work lol.. looking at building blueprints and plans.
PS: I already spoke to Newegg and they said just call for an RMA when they get in to get a 100% return.
EDIT: I forgot the 3rd option which is to sell the mobo and buy an x370 that has had better luck with those particular sticks.
