10 best RAM sticks for Ryzen

High-quality DDR4 RAM aimed at the gaming industry and fine-tuning manual overclocking specialists. There are chips with a total capacity of 8 GB on the bar, but you need to be careful, as parties are periodically released on Hynix chips, with which Ryzen processors are friends with varying degrees of success.An important point is the increased energy efficiency and a large margin of safety for the heat sink, which helps to overclock the RAM without fear of “burning” the bar. At the same time, the budget price is also pleasing, helping to assemble an inexpensive gaming PC with excellent performance.

The most budget RAM, perfectly combined with the younger processors of the Ryzen series, i.e. suitable for building a working PC for the office or an inexpensive computer for studying remotely. This RAM received high-quality Samsung microcircuits with a long duty cycle, so the three-year warranty bar will plow exactly, which is also confirmed by customer reviews.An important plus is the readiness for overclocking, and some craftsmen managed to calmly speed up the memory to 3200 MHz. Of course, her timings are not the best, but they are quite suitable for office tasks. Among the shortcomings, we will give key importance to a small volume - only 4 GB.

This 16 GB RAM model entered the market in 2017 and, judging by user reviews, is great friends with the Ryzen “stones”. As expected, the bar is made in DDR4 format, operates at frequencies of 1600-2666 MHz, but is not afraid of competent overclocking up to 3000 MHz. There are two XMP profiles with timings 13-15-15 and 12-14-14. Note that the RAM is made in a dual-rank design, i.e. in dual-channel mode, AMD chips will actively "cut" the operating frequency.Another feature is the high profile of the cooling radiators, which is why the dimensions of the die are somewhat larger than those of the average competitors.

16 GB DDR4 gaming RAM on one stick. It features high fault tolerance even against the background of overclocking. It is built on chips from Nanya, which is neither bad nor good at the same time, but in general, this RAM is very successful with Ryzen. Judging by the reviews and tests, it is great not only for gaming PCs, but also for workstations focused on editing video content. Many are confused by the Polish origin of the brand, but it should be noted that the quality of the Goodram IRDM X series bars is in no way inferior to the market leaders, but at the same time they are somewhat cheaper.

Budget bar DDR4 8 GB with support for operating frequencies in the range from 1866 to 3000 MHz. On most boards, it will automatically start at 2666 MHz, so you will have to manually adjust it in the BIOS. In general, it is distinguished by stable operation, acceptable timings and good potential for accurate overclocking, without excessive enthusiasm. At a very low price, this RAM also receives a 5-year warranty from the manufacturer, which once again confirms the high reliability of the model. The stylish gaming heatsink design will be an added bonus for some buyers, although if you're building a gaming PC, look elsewhere.

AMD branded DDR4 RAM with full adaptation for Ryzen series processors. Not the most budget bar, but on board 16 GB, a high level of throughput, pleasant timings and the ability to work at a frequency of 3200 MHz. On the other hand, this RAM is extremely demanding on motherboards and, at the slightest discrepancy, “resets” the speed to 2400 MHz. Another unpleasant moment is a rather frequent factory defect, which also spoils the overall impression and leads to a decrease in the rating. We also add that this model is not available in all stores.

Stylish 16 GB of RAM for avid gamers who appreciate the appropriate design.Received RGB backlighting, which is why it spends a little more energy than competitors. On the other hand, the RAM is fully adapted to the needs of Ryzen chips and offers good overclocking capabilities, both in automatic mode (XMP profiles) and in manual mode - the reviews speak of confident acceleration up to 4000 MHz with a CL of 17 ns and a voltage of about 1.4 Q. Note that due to design decisions, the overall height of the bar has been increased to 41 mm, which must be taken into account when assembling compact computers.

Affordable 8GB RAM with specs for the latest Ryzen series processors. It features increased bandwidth, an operating frequency of 3600 MHz, an efficient cooling radiator and a very stylish design suitable for gaming PCs. At the same time, there are significant drawbacks - the basic timings are higher than those of competitors, it is not available in all stores in Russia, plus very often batches are produced on Hynix chips, to which AMD is allergic.In addition, be sure to check for compatibility with motherboards through the official websites of manufacturers, otherwise it will be very problematic to raise the speed even above 2400 MHz.

8 GB DDR4 stick. It entered the market in 2017, but still remains relevant and offers everything you need for a confident symbiosis with Ryzen chips on Zen 3. Suitable for overclocking, there is even one preconfigured XMP profile, while on motherboards with the B550M chipset it sometimes starts at above 3066 MHz. However, in any case, this moment is not relevant for new AMD processors, which require more modern chipsets, with which there are no problems. As a result, we get a budget option for those who assemble an inexpensive PC based on “fresh” Ryzen stones.

Budget DDR4 RAM for the new Ryzen processors with Zen 3 architecture. Operating clock frequency is 3200 MHz, while 3600 MHz is available in XMP profiles on many motherboards. On the other hand, in the reviews it is noticeable that for many the die automatically starts at a frequency of 2666 MHz, so you will have to adjust the settings manually. The timings here are standard, with the possibility of fine adjustment, there is nothing unusual in terms of nutrition. Note the presence of a 10-year factory warranty, i.e. The Polish brand is completely confident in the quality of its products.
