Question Using faster RAM than my CPU can handle ?

[manolis kokotsakis]

I have an i3-12110 CPU. I have now 16GB DDR5 RAM with 4800 speed, that my CPU recommends.
What will happen if I use 32GB DDR5 with 6000 speed, will it work well or not ?

The sweet spot for any DDR5 platform regardless of AMD or Intel, is DDR5-6000MHz. You could manually set the ram frequency to DDR5-6000MHz but I'd advise on returning the DDR5-48000MHz ram kit for a DDR5-6000MHz ram kit. If your ram can't do DDR5-6000MHz, you'll see a black screen or instability issues.

Please pass on the make and model of your motherboard. BIOS version for your motherboard?

My motherboard is the H610M-H2 / M2 D5.

It will work. But still only at 4800mhz.

With 12th gen i3 cpu on H610 board - ram is limited to 4800mhz.

So the CPU and motherboard will work but with the RAM down to the 4800 speed ?
