Not really worth it. My DDR4-4400 isn't even a top kit on Ryzen systems. I can't hit DDR4-3800 CAS14 or anything elite like that.
I think the Max has issues going past 3,200 reliably.
Would need to find a x570 that can run off a 8 pin cpu as my psu only has one.
This board and some 3866 at least may be good? Not sure what this board does yet for ram, it should be plenty for a 3700x.
Good luck. There might be some low-end boards that only take one 8-pin connector.
I am just throwing this out there. The Samsumg B-Die stuff isn't super strong beyond 3600mhz. Hynix is very good when you get binned ram that goes beyond 4000mhz. I know people sing the praises of the E-die Micron sticks. But they suggest getting 3000mhz ram and rolling the dice. I think you are better off with higher binned ram starting and probably ending with 3600mhz sticks.
I am basically saying that if you get B-die get the binned 3600mhz sticks. I have heard good things about Micron E die but some have said they didn't get the timings they were after with the clocks they expected. Agreed with Hynix timings but they clock high with crap timings compared to B-die. When Zen 3 comes out. If they can do 1:1 with clocks 4000mhz+ it would be a different ballgame for Hynix.I don't think anyone's gotten Hynix running 1:1 IF and DDR4-4000? The top-bin RAM (mostly b-die) is good for DDR4-3800 or so, 14-14-14-28 or similar. Good luck figuring out exactly which sticks you need to get there. I went completely over-the-top with DDR4-4400 and my max was DDR4-3733 14-16-14-28 1T. There are people with DDR4-3000 Micron e-die within 95% of my performance. I don't think the higher-bin e-die sticks are all that much better. Feel free to ask around on reddit or something to get feedback from people who have dealt with the RAM. But for the price, DDR4-3000 e-die is amazing. 32GB for $144 is amazing, and it gives you a solid shot at high performance. The best Hynix ICs I've heard about thus far are Hynix CJR, which is what you find in a lot of those high-latency DDR4-3600 modules out there. It's decent but inferior to Micron e-die.
That's why I suggest anybody getting any ram get 3600mhz and you would be golden. This includes the B-Die. The ram I have is supposed to be good to either 4400mhz or 4600mhz but with loose timings. 16GB for $70 of DDR4 3600mhz. I have done a lot of reading. It makes no sense that a B-die kit @ 3200mhz 14-14-14 craps out when you get up to 3600mhz.@Hans Gruber
If you have Hynix CJR that'll do DDR4-4000, great! But yeah it's academic on Zen2. Maybe Micron e-die is being overplayed . . . but the price is so nice! It's almost like the Celeron300a all over again, just in memory. Was hoping we'd see more Samsung M-die and A-die by now in consumer product.
Also yeah e-die timings at DDR4-3600+ aren't all that great. But it cost me like $280 to get my b-die that won't even do DDR4-3800, and I only got 16GB. For half that money, you can get e-die today that'll do maybe DDR4-3600 16-18-18-??? 1T. And 32GB no less.
@mopardude don't get that kit. Odds are good it uses older pre-CJR Hynix ICs. Ask @Hans Gruber where to get some good Hynix CJR, or go for an e-die kit. Or at least get b-die (just be prepared to pay more for it).
The main thing with RAM is: unless you're gonna spend big on b-die, try to avoid the kits using older ICs. From 2017 and earlier, there's a lot of inferior Hynix and Micron DDR4 that doesn't clock very high. Summit Ridge really didn't like those kits either. Matisse isn't as picky, but you still have virtually no headroom over the XMP settings. Newer ICs give you a lot of flexibility, and they're cheaper than b-die.
For example, that DDR4-3200 CAS16 kit you linked would have struggled to hit its XMP settings on a Summit Ridge system. On a Matisse system (or even Pinnacle Ridge), it would probably get there due to improvements in the IMCs used. It wouldn't go any higher though. Usually.
That's a better kit than the DDR4-3200 CAS16 one from earlier. Check DIMM height for clearance.

Around the corner is DDR5. So don't spend too much money on DDR4 now.
Since you have to remove the heatsink to install the NVME, I can't see why just leaving the cover off is a problem.Anyone know if the stock nvme heatsink on the Gigabyte X570 motherboards can be removed so i could run my own? I want one of these and this and what else i got in the budget lines right up to nearly $1,200 . Been wanting a 1tb NVME for some time.

Remember when motherboards had no vanity covers? They are like engine covers on luxury cars, bling.Since you have to remove the heatsink to install the NVME, I can't see why just leaving the cover off is a problem.
To put in an NVME on my ASUS X570 (the 1tb version of the Corsair you linked to) I had to do exactly that, leave the on-board heatsink (crap quality) OFF after installing it.Wasn't even sure if it was removable or attached somehow. All i know is that the one on the board is nice but not needed. Don't know if there is anything in the way after removal that would make installation of a third party a issue?

Well, your is a gigabyte board, so theres always a chance it won't work. I am saying the odds are very high, you leave the motherboard cover off.Ty, i thought it wouldn't be much of a issue but certainly a question i thought worth asking.
