I have a Ryzen 7 1700x on a Gigabyte GA-AB350 Gaming motherboard. I currently have 2x8 Adata 2400mhz ram, but want to try and upgrade to a faster, more suitable RAM for the Ryzen 7 cpu. But, I am a noob. On Gigabyte's support page for the AB350 Gaming, it states the following:
On the Ryzen 7 1700x support page, it states the System Memory Specification is 2667MHz
Yet, there are several vids out there claiming that, for example, the GSkill FlareX DDR3200 is "specifically designed for the Ryzen 7." So I am confused as to what all this means? When the Gigabyte support page says "DDR 3200(O.C.) are they meaning that I have to overclock a lower MHz ram up to that, or can I put 3200MHz ram and run it at out of the box settings? Does the Ryzen 7 1700x memory specification mean that you can only put max 2600MHz on the board?
Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks!
