Question Ram Speeds

[David McGee]

Hi there. I have a Ryzen 1700 and a MSI X370 gaming pro carbon motherboard. I want to buy a kit of Corasir vengeance rgb pro 32gb at 3600mhz and I wanted to know if it will work okay.

If you look at your motherboard support page,it should tell you exactly what RAM it will support.

Yeah I checked but its not very clear

For that processor, first make sure you're on the latest BIOS for the board, then you can look into a DDR4-3200MHz ram kit. I'd advise on a DDR4-3600MHz ram kit but your mileage for that frequency can and will vary vastly. Play it safe, stick to DDR4-2800MHz~3200MHz.

So you say to buy a 3600mhz kit but run it at 3200?

think it will not

You could do that, or you could save your money and just buy 3200 speed RAM because you won't be able to take advantage of the faster speed anyway, unless you upgrade both your mobo and you CPU, because first generation Ryzen Chips can't support 3600 mhz ram as far as I'm aware

Hi xSnowkii,

The first thing you would want to do is to remove both sticks and make sure that they were inserted properly. Sometimes, you insert the RAM with the notches messed up and it doesn't work, although I'm pretty sure this isn't the reason. I actually had the same problem, and the solution is pretty simple. Just take out the B2 stick and boot it up. This should make it post, then go into UEFI BIOS and remove the overclock. Afterwards, reinsert the B2 stick and it should work properly.

I've already done this and still get the same result that it doesn't work.. i don't now what the problem is..

Ok well your motherboard has post LEDs, so check their color. Match them with the motherboard manual, and that should give you a direction in the right way. Otherwise, maybe update the BIOS? You can do this with a USB stick and another pc if you go and download it from the manufacturer's website.
