I appreciate the responses! I'm not pushing the ram past what it's advertised speeds/voltages are, not to say that that won't cause degradation. I got memtesthelper running but am not sure how long to run it? I ran it to 500% so 5 passes? Without error. I ran memtest86 through 4 passes without...

I ended up getting Trident Z Neo 4x8GB 3600 CL16 B-die. I went 4x8 instead of 2x16 for appearance honestly. I've got it up and running, set xmp profile to 3(oc) and according to cpu-z it is running at 3600. I need to stress it to see if it's running stable. I'll give prime95 and memtest a shot...

Thanks man, that's what I was thinking as well regarding slot placement. I'll probably just leave it in slot 2 for now, maybe I'll install an OS on it and try it in both slots.

Which M.2 slot am I supposed to use? Does it not matter? I'm not seeing a specification in the manual. I'm hoping I can use the 2nd. I have a Corsair MP600 that I'd need to take the heatsink off to fit in slot 1. If I leave the heatsink on I can't put the chipset fan grill back on. Slot 2...

Lol, I agree on the royal. I've got a 3900X, Crosshair VIII Hero, psu etc getting delivered tomorrow or Thurs. So I've got to get moving on the ram. I like the timings of that Trident Z Neo 3600@16-16-16-36 (b-die) but I'm not having any luck finding it in stock. Maybe I'll just grab a single...

Have any suggestions? This perhaps?

Well this ram purchasing is turning out to be far more complicated than I had imagined.

Well... **** man. I fully trust your opinions so maybe I'll just go 2x16. I'll be honest that I don't fully understand the purpose of supplying 4 dimm slots if only 2 are going to be guaranteed to work out of the gate. Maybe they'll make some prosthetic ram chips, lol.

Thanks man! And ****... lol. So essentially it's a risk that if I were to buy 4 sticks of 3600 I might not get that where 2 sticks it'd be a guarantee. I don't like to buy something, open it and try it if I know that there is a chance I might be returning it, but being that that Neo kit says...

Hey everyone! I bought almost everything today to finally upgrade from my old 2600K build, the only thing that I'm missing is ram. I've been looking and looking... and looking... and I keep changing my mind but I guess that's somewhat to be expected with a new cpu and chipset. But back to the...
