Hi,
I build a new PC with Asus Crosshair VII Hero and Ryzen 2700X. I bought the Corsair Vengence 3400Mhz 16GB (2x8) memory for it, which is not posting at 3400Mhz, but only at 3200Mhz.
I saw at the Asus QVL that this memory is not supported at such speed: http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/SocketAM4/ROG_CROSSHAIR-VII-HERO/C7H-Memory-QVL-Ryzen-2nd-Generation-Processors.pdf?_ga=2.10944692.1246387180.1524773072-1899597752.1524580471
Since for me is more important to be able to expand the GB capacity in the future than using the memory at maximum speed, I am OK with it running at 3200Mhz or even 3000Mhz. However, I would like to be sure that I will be able to install another 2x8 set of the same memory in the future, before my deadline to return the memory expires (next 2 weeks).
As can be seen from the QVL, the following memory model has been tested with 4 DIMMs at 3000Mhz: CMR32GX4M4C3000C15. The exact model that I have is the CMR16GX4M2C3466C16. [strike]Estetically[/strike] Aesthetically I see no differences.
So my question is: should I return the CMR16GX4M2C3466C16 and buy the CMR32GX4M4C3000C15 so that I can be 100% sure that I will be able to have 32GB capacity, or I should be fine keeping the one I have and buying another equal set in the future to have 32GB (running at 3000Mhz)?
I don't mind having the 466Mhz not being used as long as I can use 32GB at 3000 - as mentioned in the QVL.
Thank you so much, sorry for the long question.
