Hello,
I understand Ryzen 5950X CPU has an official supported RAM speed of 3200.
I went with RAM speed of 3600. I will not be tweaking anything with this RAM other than sticking it into the motherboard.
Specs
Motherboard - ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Dark Hero (AMD x570)
CPU - Ryzen 5950x
RAM - 3600Mhz
Problem
I want to get Sound Blaster AE-7 sound card, but I understand that it doesn't play nice on x570/Ryzen CPUs with RAM that are overclocked. Here is the official AMD announcement. I don't know how old this announcement is (maybe Feb 2021?). I've been researching online trying to see if there was a permanent fix, but couldn't find a definitive answer.
Questions
1, Is anything above officially supported RAM speed considered "overclocked"?
As always, thanks in advance for your assistance!

- In worst case scenario, what would you choose? Slower RAM with 3200 instead of 3600, but having a great sound card like the AE-7? Or sticking with 3600 RAM and getting a different sound card?
- If you know of any recent updates to the above issue that would be great!
