Question I have this memory already, will in work in a new MSI X870E carbon build

[turks1966]

I already have this memory, Corsair Vengeance CMK32GX5M2X6600C32, it's not on list for memory for this motherboard. Is there any way it will work without having to purchase another 32 gig kit. The kit I have is new, still sealed, and I have had it for a bit, but I would like to use it in my new upcoming build. Thanks for the advice, turks1966

It should work though it is Intel optimised memory so there are no guarantees you will get the OC speeds. Jedec speeds should be fine. (All you can do is try)

If you try to enable XMP set the bus speed to 6000 from 6600. If it runs it will work better, faster. The motherboard/CPU might allow you to run upto 6400 at full speed. Running the memory at 6600 will cause one of the internal AMD bus speeds to reduce by half. This is detrimental.

There is always the option to sell it on and buy new, there may be a loss of money but DDR5 is cheaper than 2023 (when your memory was released) and AMD optimised memory is much more available now.

I did dig back into the MSI support page for X870e carbon wifi motherboard, that I will be using, and I did find that this memory kit is listed, it should work. The CPU I will be installing is the AMD 9800X3D paired with my 4080 GPU. It's my first non-Intel build after several decades of using their CPUs and motherboards. I hope I will not regret my choices. I appreciate the quick reply thank you.
