WifeWillCutmyNutzOff the Third - Upgrading to 32GB of memory

[Vinster]

So I'm at a point that I need to increase the amount of ram on my main gaming rig. 16GB just isn't cutting it. Many games I'll be hitting 98-99%. some games crash and I think this could be the cause.

sort of the bummer is, I have this memory tuned up... I'm a gskill guy. I've never had issues with their stuff and their memory validation tool just gives me a piece of mind.

Current kit posted below. it's 4400mhz, running at 3800mhz with timing tightened from 18-19-19-39 down to 16-15-15-36-1T. I'm running at 1.5v

I had no issues running at 4400mhz, but the latency was much higher than it is now.

Current state

Looking at kits with lower timings but with 32GB of capacity, the only thing I can find available are 3600mhz kits.

I thought about finding another kit of what I have but I can't at any reasonable price. I found one the other day but the seller wanted over $450CAD... But I don't even kinow if this board will be happy with another kit of this stuff... the Asus mem QVL only have a very small handful of 4x kits that are certified.

So right now I'm down to one of these two (Open to suggestions). I think they are the exact same kit with a different heatspreader, both are 16-19-19-39.. I'm hoping for the best on being close to my current memory tune.

What do you guys think?

EDIT: and I've never had issues with this system since setup..  but just realized that I'm at bios 2702 from Nov 2020 and they are at 4402 Feb/2023. I'm thinking I'll update before I do the ram swap in hopes to use those stability improvements.

Normally G. Skill just works, I don't believe you can go wrong with either set or even two sets of it if you want.
I guess it depends on which set you personally like the most that suits you.

I'm with Bones on this. Have DDR4 3600, 2x16 Patriot on a 5700G setup but went for cost, timings on the G. Skill's much better.

Thanks guys. Picked the non-neo kit.

I got the RAM and have it installed... DOCP was not an issue. then starting trying to clock it up. seems anything above rated (even with a bumped up voltage) yields errors in MemTest86.

I'll need to play with it more. but was using the tools and items I learned (thanks to the poeple here) to get my previous 4400mhz kit rated for 18-19-19-39-1T to 3900mhz at 14-14-14-35-1T... right now I just have it 1:1:1 and it is an improvement.. was hoping for more...

But it is also 32GB of ram.

atm I have no clue what I am going to do with the old kit.
