I have a amd 2950x and a asrock x399 taichi and i need a 64gb ram kit ,quad channel, composed of 4x16gb stick that will run at least at 3200mhz xmp stable.I checked the asrock qvl list but there isnt enough info/tested stuff there.Which gskill kit coud achive that speed stable with that amount?
I did saw this kit :
https://www.gskill.com/en/product/f4-3200c14q-64gtz
But it says that is dual/quad channel kit and i dont understand this.It means that is dual channel if i use only 2 of the 4 sticks and is quad channlel if i use all 4 sticks?

There is also this thing
https://gskill.com/en/product/f4-3466c16q-64gtz
but is cl16 and that is not a samsung b-die, and i understand that that is what threadripper likes.


Any way, what coud you guys recommend me?
Thank you.

That is about as good as you will do then OC it.
The RAM itself should be capable of going much higher than the memory controller can handle with some extra vdimm.

Thank you. But wasn't flare x the preferred one(optimized) only for ryzen and not the threadriper? Or it doesn't matter?
 
The threadripper IS a ryzen. The real difference is that the TR has 2 ryzen dies (active silicon slabs) under its heatspreader compared to the non-TR ryzen's one die. With the threadripper each ryzen die addresses a pair of memory channels in exactly the same way the non-TR ryzen does. there are also Infinity Fabric connections between the dies so each package can access the other die's memory channels.

I am actually using a pair of these :https://www.gskill.com/en/product/f4-3200c14d-64gtz (the dual channel version of those you posted) with one set in channels 1 & 2 and the second in channels 3 & 4. I am able to use them at full XMP speed but needed to bump the memory voltage up to 1.45v.

If you have the quad channel set the slot placement is less sensitive.
