RAM is an integral part of any PC build. So, how do you know if it will be compatible with your motherboard and other components. In this video I tell you what you have to worry about and what to check in order to make sure that you won't have any issues when putting together your brand new rig.

@leoterss 6 лет назад

I havea question. I'm gettinga module with 2800mhz of frequency. However, my motherboard page says: "Supports DDR4 1866/ 2133/ 2400/ 2667(OC)/ 2933(OC)/ 3200(OC)+ MHz". This means the speed at which they will run at wit a XMP profile? And will I be able to post with the afformentioned module? Thanks

@foxsocks9851 4 года назад

ik this is a year ago but for anyone watching now if im correct, it should be able to support 2800mhz ram. The only other things that might stop it from running at that might be the cpu and the bios of your motherboard. for the speed with XMP im not too sure but im sure you can find that online somewhere

@dewaynemason9540 5 лет назад

I ordered that same ram for my 3700x before noticing the compatibility wasn't amd x570 certified :( Did you get it working?

@LaGranjaHumanaMX 5 лет назад

Yes, it works, but at 3200 mhz cas 18. I need to try more tweaks to get it proper working because every time i try to move and tweak it fron the bios, it resets to fabric presets after i save and exit from it. I get it work thanks to amd ryzen master. But i am concerned about going higher from there because i read some people needeng to flaahback after that because by some reason it overwrites its bios default settings and thus, imposible to get a working post and the solution was flashingback. Imagine someone qith an x570 without qflashback?

@Daniel-yv6jh 3 года назад

I think you could get it higher if you enable a different memory profile, like an XMP so to speak.

@GoodsauceTech 4 года назад

Hi, i think DDR6 might be a typo, because we don't have that yet. But in general, if your motherboard supports DDR4, only get DDR4. (that doesn't apply to the graphics card. The Graphics card can have GDDR5 or any other version even if your motherboard supports DDR4)
