Ram is cheap? It's still twice as expensive per GB than it was in 2015.
Would it be safe to assume that ryzen optimized ram would be compatible? or do you think they fixed the problems in ram compatability with 7nm ryzen. id hate to go back to the ram prices like those last year right before new ryzen comes out because were all playing a guessing game on which would work outI speculated about this in the news post about how RAM is currently cheap.
Question is, wait for 7nm AMD CPU availability, specs and details and then buy RAM, hoping low prices last, or buy now, hoping you get the wright stuff. (Or something in between)
I haven't decided yet. I'm waiting a little bit longer. Maybe I will buy a month or a couple of weeks before launch of 7nm AMD CPU's, essentially putting it off as long as possible but still beating the rush from everyone building new 7nm AMD systems.

Works at rated speed (3200) on my AMD X470 board, even though it's not listed on any compatibility list. Perhaps no one got round to testing this particular set of RAM? Installation was simple, and being low-profile means no issues with big air coolers. I got the v5.31 version (2015!). Seems absolutely fine so far.
This review is about the 32GB 3200MHz kit (CMK32GX4M2B3200C16). I have paired this kit with my Ryzen 2700X CPU and ASUS X470 Crosshair motherboard.
Firstly the kit I received was version 4.31 which uses Samsung dies (version 5.39 uses Hynix). This can be important to note if you're building a Ryzen system since Samsung dies offer better compatibility at high frequencies. Ryzen can be temperamental with RAM though as the platform matures this is becoming less of an issue. Unfortunately there is no way of knowing what version you will receive.
Thankfully my Ryzen system is stable with this kit simply by enabling XMP. This was a relief since I have had difficulty with 3000MHz+ RAM before on Ryzen however, results will vary depending on your motherboard, CPU memory controller and RAM.
I purchased some Corsair Vengeance LPX 3200 C16 2x16Gb this week as Amazon are selling it at a killer price at the moment.
Most people report compatibility on the X470 chipset so I'll chance X570 compatibility when the time comes.
Amazon was out of stock for a while, so I'm guessing this memory will be some newer later revision memory.
When it turns up I'll let you know.
