I had 2 8Gb sticks
got another 2 to fill the vacant slots with RGB, cos need more RGB
didn't notice any discernable difference with 4 sticks vs 2 sticks or even 16Gb vs 32Gb
my RAM is G.Skill TridentZ neo. 4 x 8Gb DDR4-3200 CL16 which was recommended as the sweet spot and bang for buck for the AM4 Ryzen 3000 series way back when
you are very welcome
I have also download AMD Ryzen Master Utility and adjusted the fabric clock and the memory clock to the same values
you can download it HERE
in my case it is 1600 on both (adding together to make 3200 as per my RAM speed)
also have the Ryzen power plan for windoze
all info HERE
I have been running this software for over 12 months without any hiccups
My CPU is set to run on max boost clock all the time
and does so without any dramas (cos on water)
I hope to see some pictures from both you and @Rab of your builds
a time lapse video would be great
did a lot of research before I built my Ryzen system 15 months ago
3200Mhz was considered the "sweet spot"
and if you look at recommendations from AMD, 3200Mhz is the number they use
eg:
@Rab has a gen 4 Ryzen
gen 5 by numbering
4 must have been an unlucky number for them or something
Awesome stuff @Rab [emoji106]
Need pictures of the build [emoji846]
Edit: I just bought a Gigabyte Aorus X570 mobo for Mrs BCB's new build
Mini ITX but [emoji106]
Well I'm VERY happy with your efforts Keefy
the one thing that has been pissing me off about this forum since the last upgrade is now fixed
I am no longer taken to the "new members thread" every time I try to navigate somewhere
for you
PS: love the wider format
awesome stuff @masda74
I've been using this for over 12 months now and hasn't missed a beat

plenty of features and coming in at a mid-range price
also pleasing to the eye with a nice ROG logo in RGB (you can turn that off if RGB makes you puke)
riding home from the motor reg in town I was lane splitting at the lights and accelerating away on the green very sedately trying not to tear up the knobbies on the bitumen and it was still wheel standing on half throttle
