Question 2 kits of Klevv

[kavihooman]

Hello, I recently purchased a KLEVV kit:

KLEVV Cras V RGB 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 7200MHz CL34.

Thinking ahead for future-proofing, I considered buying this product again. My motherboard is an Asus TUF A620-plus wifi, and the CPU is an 8700G. Would it be a good idea to add another kit? Will it work at 7200MHz?

Thanks!

On that motherboard/chipset, DDR5-7200MHz is over ambitious. In fact the sweet spot for AMD's AM5 platform Ryzen's are DDR5-6000MHz, maybe slightly higher but the amount of money spent will result in limited returns.

One other thing to note, which also applies to Intel's platforms is populating all slots on your motherboard adds stress to your processor's integrated memory controller(IMC) so your overclocks on the ram side will be limited further.

I'd advise to stick to a 2x ram kit. As it stands you should get a 2x32GB DDR5-6000MHz kit(with AMD's E.X.P.O advertised on it's packaging) to replace the ram kit you have now.

Memory speeds are pretty much a big lie. When you read the fine print all these numbers you see are overclock values. There is no official support so if it doesn't boot everyone claims it isn't their fault.

The motherboard, the cpu chip itself and the memory modules all have a impact. There is no way to predict if the particular parts you have will function together at higher than the official supported non overclocked of 5200 for a 8700g. Even at 5200 there are some combinations that still will not work.

Running 4 sticks rather than 2 greatly reduces the odds of it working.

As mentioned above 6000 tends to work for many people in 2 stick installs. If you had tried this when the AM5 platform first came out even 6000 was considered a accomplishment.

Okay thanks, As you said there is no guarantee it works at 7200 and by that my extra money will be lost. Also now its working at 7600mhz and i do not notice any change compared to previous 6200mhz.

I'm quite not happy with current build, so for the future i will buy a whole new PC. (this pc is my workstation)
