Help choosing my RAM

[zoe_pound69]

Please help me to choose my RAM. My config is:

1. MSI B350 Tomahawk Arctic
2. AMD Ryzen 5 2600

What type of RAM should I choose (frequency)? I searched on the internet and I didn't found nothing useful. I was thinking to choose 3200 MHz from Corsair (LPX), but I saw a video that the motherboard recognized only 2100 MHz. Any help, please?

According to MSI webpage the board supports 3200 when overclocked like most boards. XMP profiles usually will get the highest speed your RAM is rated for.

Memory SPD (Serial Presence Detect) specifications are what most memory runs at when left on [Auto] in BIOS. This is often 2133MHz for DDR4 memory.

A low clock speed is often the best setting to have for an initial start up. Once running you can set memory parameters yourself in BIOS.

See page 50 of manual for:
DRAM Frequency [Auto]
and
Advanced DRAM Configuration
Press Enter to enter the sub-menu. User can set the memory timing for each/ all
memory channel. (e.g. Timing 16-18-18-35)

DRAM/ PROM Voltages control [Auto]

The Ryzen 5 2600, from AMD’s second generation of Ryzen processors, supports up to 64 GB of dual-channel DDR4-2933 memory. Higher speeds are for overclocking.

Thank you for your answers! I checked the MB's page and saw that there's a tab with all the supported memory. And I chose HyperX Fury 16GB (2x8) on 2400 MHz
