Question I need help with Ryzen 5 2600 configuration.

[geraldo85]

Hello,

I am trying to build fast a super cheap configuration around Ryzen 5 2600 (I already bought it) until I save some money for an i5 12600 config.

Since this is the first PC I will build on my own I am having big difficulties understanding which components can be paired with each other.

I've found a great deal for G.Skill Aegis 16GB(2x8) DDR4 3000 MHz, but I don't know if I should buy it. R5 2600 supports 2933 Mhz RAM?

And also I was planning to buy the cheapest (but not garbage MB) with m.2 slot. - I like the Gigabyte B450M S2H , but:

• According to some websites it supports up to 2933 Mhz
• On the official Gigabyte website, the G. Skill memory I've mentioned above is not listed under the supported RAM.

Here are my question:
1.If a motherboard supports 2933 Mhz - 3000Mhz AM stick can cause problems?
2. In general if a RAM stick is not mentioned on the Motherboard's website - it may not run?

You really shouldn’t have gone for the 2600 for a cheap build. An older i5 would have done the job and you’re really not saving money as you’ll have to upgrade the whole platform anyway

2600 is older however you can still upgrade to the ryzen 5 5600. Not quite as fast as a 12600k or 13600k but still pretty good performance. The way to know about ram is try it. More than likely it will work fine and just downclock a bit.
