[SOLVED] B450M mortar max recommended ram

Solution
They're all recommended that's why they're on the list. But do read the note at the top of the list: "Memory compatibility support depends on the CPU memory controller."

Personally, I'd get GSkill, SR, something with Samsung memory rated at no more than 3200, 2 DIMM's max. That's what I have with a 3700X/Mortar combo which I got to 3600 pretty easily. DIMM kits with RGB bling will be more expensive so that's one way to save scratch.

Also avoid DIMM kits rated over 3600 as they just get even more expensive while not really improving chances you'll be able to get above 3600 (due to CPU MCU). Even if you do you can hurt peformance if done...

If you get a kit with Micron memory you might want to make sure you're running BIOS with AGESA 1005 as it helps compatibility with it.

I'm sure there are many others that will also work though.

Hi thanks for a faast responce i was just looking at this https://www.ceneje.si/Izdelek/10692...-rgb-w-2x8-16gb-3200-cl16-cmw16gx4m2c3200c16w pls dont mind the site and i looked it up onto the list as it shows there is the ram but 1 more question if i get a 3200 cl16 and overclock it to 3600 will it perform as 3600 cl 16 or different better/worse ?
