no freebies in the event?

The price is looking good IMO.

Free t-shirt from event.
The screwdriver and keychain need to win ( basically tag & share in FB )


FYI: That Ryzen 7 processor I bought myself one

someone won a amd mobo in tht event is now selling in garage sales...

Waa no bad maa

I want the crosshair board, and there's few RX580 giveaway also.

I just want RX580 then complete my RIG "liao"

too bad cant join that event
if not might got chance win it ?

Based on my understanding, RAM speed higher than 2400 depends on : Ryzen chip internal IMC quality (?assembled in China ones better than ones assembled in Malaysia), Motherboard quality (and is UEFI), RAM Module itself (Samsung B die, single rank and CAS 14 or lower).
However it seems gain as speed increase has diminishing return ie big gain from 2133 to 2666 then modest from 2666 to 3200 and minimal from 3200 above.
Also each program or games will react differently with increased RAM speed. Some no benefit at all.
It seems sweet spot is 2999
However i still think we should get the RAM speed that we paid for

Ryzen of made in china? made in malaysia? still havent proof tat which one is better. Before, got a review site stated that the cpu in hand, china is better a bit than malaysia, but after he take two more silicon for each made in? there is better malaysia made in as well.

In conclusion, just a random silicon lottery for ryzen.

To get higher speed ram work, just get the best ram u can afford which in QVL list of mobo u want or u have.

Exactly what i think of now, i have 4sticks of corsair dominator 3200mhz ddr4 which using for my x99 system, but due to the mobo having problem and sent for warranty, i may sell off my 5930k and the x99 mobo once it back from rma. Therefore it is kinda waste if i buying another set of ddr4 just want to achieve 3000 and above speed and look at the crazy ram price now might not worth. Currently my Corsair ram able to run at 2666mhz (for 2 sticks) i should be satisfied right?

Its significant boost only from 2666mhz to 3200mhz. Had you try 2 stick? maybe can better ram speed?

I'm using 2 sticks at the moment, never try 4 sticks, i believe it wont boot

Ryzen chip is diffused in USA but assembled in either China or Malaysia if not mistaken
BTW QVL list is not a guaranteed list of RAMS that will work at stated sanctioned OC speed. Its only list that internal mobo manufacturers has tested "extensively" (whatever that really means). Look an Newegg review, many who bought couldnt manage to get to the OC speeds. But chances they will work / allow computer to boot is much higher in my opinion.
I would recommend buy the lowest CAS 14 -15 only to have higher likelyhood to be able to go to OC speeds
Cheers!

You can try if u need more ram size, just maybe the speed will lower, there are few people ryzen with 4 ram works.

Yup, its is assembled. But didnt make an advantage for silicon lottery, not as intel CostaRica and Malaysia will cause a huge different @@
QVL is not guarantee, but almost follow the QVL get u biggest chance to have your ram run the speed it should be.

Ram compatibility problem just only can give time for mobo vendor to fix out.

I have no idea why the cpu temperature shown in AMD Ryzen master software is so much different with other monitoring software, look at my stability test temperature result, AMD Ryzen master showing 69.75degree but HWinfo64 shown 55degree

Besides, the VRM temperature for Asrock Fatality X370 K4 kinda scary, exceed 70degree


Attached thumbnail(s)

TridentZ and Dominator are two series that constantly mentioned by Ryzen user in reddit.
We have to wait AMD and mobo manufacturers to continue improving higher RAM speed

Should be no issue, but likely at even lower speed.

It has 20" offset, but should be fixed in latest Ryzen master
