Question from omarehab2002 : "RAM Choice for ryzen 3 2200g"
omarehab2002 :
Out of these, which us more suitable to use for a ryzen 3 2200g build?
Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 2666MHz (PC4 21300) C16 Desktop Memory Kit - Black (CMK16GX4M2A2666C16)
Patriot Viper Elite Series DDR4 16GB (2x8GB) 2666MHz PC4-21300 Dual Memory Kit (Black/Grey)
Both are at a price of about 140$ but which is the better one? And can either of them be overclocked?
What motherboard do you have? You really should look for RAM that is on your motherboard's QVL. Ryzen has some RAM compatibility issues, and it you want to guarantee that it will work, it needs to be on the QVL.
With that being said, I would not go with either of those for the 2200g. Especially if you are using the integrated graphics. The iGPU will use memory bandwidth, so in order to get the best performance, you really should look for RAM that is rated for 3200mhz. As for overclocking, you chipset will determine if it can overclock. So as long as you have a b/x 350/450/370/470 board you will be fine.
Additionally, I don't know if pairing 16gb is necessary for a 2200g. You would get better performance by dropping to 8gb (2x4gb) and using the money saved by moving up to a 2400g.
