Question Can the new Hyper X Fury (HX426C16FB3K2/32) RAM work with the MSI B450 Gaming Pro Carbon motherboard?

[bleak192]

I just need to know if this part (HX426C16FB3K2/32) will work with the MSI motherboard. Has anyone had any luck with it?

Their website doesn't have it listed in the compatibility section because it's the new version, and MSI support have confirmed they haven't and won't test it to confirm this.

As far as I can tell it's just the heatsink design that's changed, but MSI support haven't been able to confirm this either =\

Not sure why you would buy 2666mhz RAM with Ryzen but I’m pretty certain it will work. Wouldn’t be concerned about it unless it was over 3200mhz

I'm on mobile so can't check properly but I think it's this page that shows the 3000MHz ram getting down locked, which is why I just went for 2666:

I'm not well versed in RAM specifics - what would you recommend I go for specs-wise?

Ryzen has higher memory latency than intel which is why it performs better with higher clocked low latency RAM. I prefer GSKILL myself but Kingston is good as is team, Corsair, patriot. My recommendation would be 3200mhz 14CL to get the best performance. Now with Ryzen RAM cab also be finicky but typically worst case means you manually inputting the timings and it will work as rated.

Thanks for the info!

Another thing I'm worried about is whether the MoBo will support 4x DIMMs of the RAM - according to the supported Memory listed, only certain sticks will work with 4 - most only work with 1 or two installed at a time.

Is there any way to tell if a specific stick will work with four installed at a time? What determines that anyway?

I avoid and recommend to avoid 4 sticks because it is less compatible usually than 2. If you want 32GB get two 16GB sticks.
