[SOLVED] B350-F Gaming QVL Question

[dson95]

Hello there guys. So I ordered my new pc with r1200 (wishing to upgrade in future), b350-f gaming and 2x4 gb Kingston HX421C14FBK2/8 2133.

Questions:

1) In QVL https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/SocketAM4/STRIX_B350-F_GAMING/Raven_Ridge_Memory_QVL_ROG_STRIX_B350-F_GAMING_180209.pdf?_ga=2.16899770.2079776918.1545372486-939224064.1545156809 for this memory DIMM 1 is supported, dimm 2 is supported and for dimm 4 there is no <<support>> but the headliner for dimm support table says it's optional, does that mean they just didn't test 4 pieces of this RAM? That maybe a stupid question but im just thinking if i should change ram (order is yet in process) to one i can run as 16gb in future.

2) Is it easy to boost it to 2.8ghz?

3)Will this mobo handle future r7 and how much of cooling will be needed for case?


All the best! Thanks for answers.

and is there any sense to add a bit for b450-f?

Or maybe prime x370 pro? Im just so confused. Sorry.

For future upgrades it would be best to go for an MB with 4xx chipset. For R3 1200 any AM4 MB would work. Coming very soon 3000 series Ryzen and newer chipset would be better guarantee for them to work at full.
Asus Prime x470 pro is my best bet.
What do you mean by "boost it to 2.8ghz" ??? That CPU boosts to 3.4GHz all by itself and you should be able to OC it to at least that much.
