Hallo,

my MSI B350 Gaming Pro Carbon is on the way and i'm looking for the right Ram Kit. - Anyone using an Crucial Ballistix Elite Kit (2x8, 2x16, 4x4, 4x8)?
- how good does it work with this board?
- OC range (DDR4-3000, DDR4-3200 or DDR4-3600)?
- basically I would be satisfied with the "sweet-spot" 3000. With the Ryzen, however, higher speed would be quite interesting
- using single rank or dual rank?
- it seems dual rank is the right choice
- other impressions?

thanks!

Don't know which kit is "right", but I'm running B350 Carbon + Corsair LPX 3200 MHz CMK16GX4M2B3200C16 and it's working with no problems on 2933MHz CL16-18-18-36 1.35V. It works on CL14-16-16-34 also, but sometimes requires booting two times. 3200mhz is not working for now. Pretty good, for a RAM stick that was the cheapest 3200 cl16 to get in my country.

I'm not testing other settings because I'm a little lazy and may just wait for new agesa to try 3200.

Isn't this ram on the QVL list for the MSI gaming pro carbon? At least the white and red versions are I believe..

Yes white and red is. But Black (CMK16GX4M2B3200C16) is not on the list. I bought it anyway, because I don't care that much if I have to wait a couple months for the last 267 MHz

I tried Beta Bios 1.43 Agesa 1.0.0.6 and I don't recommend it. Even my 2933 mhz was unstable or didn't boot on this beta bios, and cpu fans were stuck on 2000+rpm. I'm back on stable 1.3 Bios and it's all good.
