Hi all,

I got my new PC. it is a build specialized in RGB. I am happy with all i got but unfortunately, it seems mine (and others') ARGB DDR4 are not working properly. i have attached a pic of my modules and modules from a random guy i found online.

I have Asus AURA X570 and got the XTREEM ARG DDR4 RAM for their amazing diffusing effects and mirror finish.for 3 days straight i have not been able to use them correctly. I cannot get the effects to work on the whole dimm, just the LOGO, and the NAME

in the first picture, you can see my setup, the modules are dark. in the second picture, you can see the modules as they are supposed to work (picture from a friend). i have reached out to teamgroup but they told me to go the RMA way..

the problem is that i have seen others online having the same issue with RGB like this reviewer

his doesn't work either, though other reviewers have slick effects..

i am thinking of asking for a return and getting a new kind of RAM.

i am a plain gamer and want to know which RGB ram to get

and also what is more important for RYZEN 7 5800X!

LATENCY VS Mhz

we both used AURA SYNC and you can see the difference. i contacted with Teamforce and they suggested i do an RMA claim.

my problem is that other videos i found online they also had the same problem... anyway

Honestly you didn’t describ the actual issue so what’s going on. Just looking at 2 PICs doesn’t tell us what the problem is or could be. Please elaborate

and For the question about Latency ve MHz both play a role

the sweet spot seems to be 3600MHz around CL16 Dual Rank
 
Thank you for the answer.
I will edit my first post.

I got my new rig yesterday which is plainly a rig with as much RGB as possible. The main rgb control software is ASUS Aura and iCUE.
I selected for my memory TEAMGROUP's XTREEM ARGB DDR4 at 3200mhz at CL14!
i had a nasty surprise. The ARGB effect is not working 100%. i tried to fix it but to no avail

1: does anyone what might be causing the problem? Problem is the light is not diffusing through the dimm, only the logo is having light

In case i return them which ones should I select and at which configuration?

atm i am between XPG D60 and Gskill Trident Z royal

they have incredible RGB effect and Lighting software of theirs, which i believe is a must...

I have two kit of G.Skill Trident Z Royal silver and gold laying ready for use. But I can't tell you about how the RGB is. Cause as many other people. I am waiting for Zen 3 and gpu's coming back in stock to reasonable prices. Not that over inflated prices we have now.

But I can put up some images of them, if you want a closer look at them before you maybe order a kit your self? That will be with out RGB on..

The sweet spot for zen 3 is 3600 mhz cl16 in dual rank and dual channel. Dual rank typically means 4 x 8 GB sticks or 2 x 16 gb sticks. All throw you can not always count on a single 1 x 16 gb stick is dual rank. G. SKILL has also 3600 CL14 in the royal version as I have both my kits in. But they are not cheap and the inflated prices on DDR4 memory dosent help either. So for a better price to performance ratio I will sujest 3600 mhz cl 16-16-16-36 in a 32 GB konfiguration as mentioned above. With luck Zen 3 can go up to 4000 mhz but not all chip can run it in the 1:1 ratio and performance jump over 3600 mhz is really not that high. Hence why I chose 3600 mhz CL14 over higher memory clock.

I have the D60 and that is always about $60 less than the Royal plus the entire cover is ARGB, some effects are stellar
 
seems my posts have been merged.
WHich RAM and under which timings do you suggest?
 
I have 4x8GB Patriot Viper 4400MHz and run them at these settings - they can do 1967MHz at the same settings. BUT no RGB :)
