Best RAM for AMD FX-8350?

Hardware Hub Build a PC
1

I have a simple question for my build that I am doing here. I was wondering what would be the best RAM to get for an AMD FX-8350 system? I have the Asus Sabertooth 990FX motherboard. I really wanted Corsair Vengeance, but I read that those are only good for Intel (sorry, I have been out of the PC loop for some years). If this is true, what would y'all suggest? I would like at least 16GB of memory, but preferably 32GB.

 

Thanks for the advice!

Check the QVL list. If it’s in that list, I would get it; if it’s not in that list I would be more hesitant to get it.

Link for your board specifically

I have had more luck with the AMD Chipset accepting more variety of RAM even in the non high end boards

Thanks for that link. I think I have decided on G. Skill Ripjaws to start off with. I have heard good things about that line.

i have the crosshair v, however the qvl is outdated (2011.06.02). does anyone know what memory would be best for it with the 8350?
