DDR4 3000 MHz compability with CPU and Motherboard

[michalo95]

Hello friends,

I’m a little confused on the support of the ram speed from the cpu and motherboard.
I have a ryzen 7 1800x and a asus rog strix b350-f and I was wondering if I could run ram at speeds of 3000 Mhz.

Thank you,
Mike

You can use that RAM. It will run at 2666 unless you OC it to 2933.

Ryzen Processors: DDR4 3200(O.C.)/ 2933(O.C.)/ 2666/ 2400/ 2133 *

Yes, the ram will run at its base speed (2133mhz) but you can use DOCP or XMP (depening on the board) and set it to 2933mhz and it will run at that speed. You can also manually configure it to that speed.

Does overclocking the ram decrease its liftetime greatly?

No.

That RAM is designed to run at 3000MHz continuously for its life.
