hello peeps,

so i want to build a pc, and am using pcpartpicker to see whether my parts are compatible

the cpu i have chosen is the ryzen 5 2600 and the mobo is the asrock fatal1ty ab350 gaming itx/ac

the ram is want is this model
HX424C15FW2K2/16

however, this ram isnt on the list of ram in pcpartpicker. therefore i am not sure whether this ram model is compatible with the mobo.
is this ram compatible with the mobo?

according to kingston this ram model is compatible with amd ryzen but im not sure about the mobo

Just a quick heads up, a B350 chipset Motherboard may not work with a 2nd generation Ryzen CPU unless the BIOS is up to date. You need a B450 series Motherboard. As for RAM, it should be fine particularly if it's touted as Ryzen compatible, but if it's not on the Motherboard's QVL, there is no 100% guarantee you'll hit it's max speed, but the kit is only 2400 MHz so i'd be willing to bet it will run at the advertised speed perfectly fine. Hope this helps! :)

You can find your Motherboard's Memory QVL here (verified RAM) > https://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/Fatal1ty%20AB350%20Gaming-ITXac/index.asp#Memory
 


i was hoping that i could update the bios so the cpu would work with the mobo.
is this not possible or is it not 100% guaranteed to work?
