@Spuratik52, have you considered Corsair Vengeance LPX? It's a great option for your Ryzen 5 1600.
I've been using the G.Skill Ripjaws V Series with my Ryzen 5 1600, and it works like a charm. The performance has been top-notch!
You should definitely check out the TechReviewer article Best RAM for the AMD Ryzen 5 1600 CPU about RAM for AMD Ryzen CPUs. It's pretty comprehensive.
Thanks, @ethinker, @kenstar9, and @Zicro2K16. I'll take a look at those suggestions! Any of you have experience with overclocking?
Hey guys, just wanted to chime in on this. The Corsair Vengeance LPX is an excellent choice for the Ryzen 5 1600. I've been using it for quite some time now and haven't faced any issues. As for overclocking, it's definitely possible, but you'll need a motherboard that supports it.
Thanks for the input, @psquid1121. How easy or difficult was your experience with overclocking?
I had no trouble at all with overclocking my RAM. Just remember to monitor your temperatures and voltage while you're doing it!
Good to know, thanks @lexalbrecht. Do you have any tips for someone who's new to overclocking?
Start slow, incrementally increasing the frequency and timings, and always keep an eye on stability. Also, make sure your cooling is up to snuff!
That's true, @ethinker. Make sure you know what you're getting into and that you have proper cooling. Good luck, @Spuratik52!
