Yea, my build is a bit off still so was just checking to see if they actually made them in Black. I don't think the crazy will calm down anytime soon, but I think I'll start piecing it together pretty soon.

I need to read up on OCing ram, tried to set mine to 4000hz and forgot to change timings and that didnt go to well. the XMP is 3800hz w/ CL14, but i want to do 4000hz w/ CL14 or 15

My current system has some slow 2400 ram that I'll be using until I figure out where the sweet spot is. I doubt I'll be bothering with any overclocking, but I always like to leave the option open.

Only 3200? I was under the impression that the 5000 series benefitted from faster ram. I was going to wait for people to do tests and see if it was worth buying something 3600 or up.

It's all the same chips. With "faster" ram you're just paying for numbers pre-programmed in EEPROM.

It has to do with memory ranks on the sticks themselves and potentially the board design. The 8gb sticks he was running were single rank, 16gb are usually double rank and fully utilized as a pair like the 4 individual single ranks.

I've been reading up on that. My mobo is daisy chain topology, so I'm looking at grabbing this 2x16. It's cheaper than most 4x8s anyway.

I’m going itx, so I don’t even have much of a choice besides 2x16
I went with the 3600 trident cl 16-19-19 kit and apparently I’ll need to install their software to disable the memory rgb nonsense, reeee. Probably cover the diffuser bars with black gaffer tape.

I'm an anti RGB guy, so I'm right with you on that one. The case I got has a glass door, so I'm making sure everything I get is unlit. The mobo has it but that can be disabled in the bios.

Seems like most top boards are daisy chain. Wonder if a pleb like me would even notice the incremental difference that 2 vs 4 stick performance increase would make.
already purchased my RAM as well, would have to return it and use dummy sticks for full hard on RGB.

Well that vod reported something like 15% to 20% diff which is huge, some games was like 20+frames.

Absolute shame, I watched it and agree. Will return my 32 GB kit, shame there are no dummy RGB sticks for the dominator platinum series. Will need to change it up.
