Recommended RAM for AMD Ryzen 7 1700X?

I'm looking for some recommendations on RAM to pair with my new AMD Ryzen 7 1700X CPU. Any suggestions?

Sure! Based on our TechReviewer article Best RAM for the AMD Ryzen 7 1700X CPU, the Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 RAM is a great option. Both the 2666 MHz and 3600 MHz models offer reliable performance for gaming, content creation, and video editing.

That's super helpful, thanks! The 3600 MHz model sounds like it might give me better performance for my needs. What are your thoughts on the stock-speed DDR4?

I've used the Corsair Vengeance LPX 3600 MHz with my Ryzen 7 1700X and it's been fantastic! It really made a noticeable difference in loading times and overall system responsiveness.

Hey, I'm just getting into PC building and have a Ryzen 7 1700X. I went with the Corsair Vengeance LPX 2666 MHz and haven't faced any issues so far. It's worked well for my casual gaming and general use.

Thanks for sharing your experiences! So, between the 2666 MHz and 3600 MHz options, which one would be better suited for a mix of gaming, content creation, and everyday tasks?

I'd say the 3600 MHz model is probably better for gaming since it offers higher clock speeds. However, the 2666 MHz model should still perform well for general use and content creation tasks.

I agree with @slipstream55. If you're going to be doing a lot of gaming, the higher clock speed will definitely make a difference. But if your focus is more on productivity tasks, the lower clock speed might be enough.

Just remember that the RAM's capacity is also important. Make sure you get at least 16 GB for better multitasking capabilities and future-proofing your system.

Great advice! Thanks everyone. I think I'll go with the Corsair Vengeance LPX 3600 MHz. I appreciate all the suggestions and experiences shared here!

No problem, happy to help! Good luck with your build and let us know how it goes.
