[SOLVED] Ryzen 7000 and ram speeds

[DynamicSlayer]

Hey there! Recently built a new am5 system. I got the 7700x paired with Dominator ddr5 5600 16gb x2 ram. While looking on the AMD website page about the CPU details I noticed this detail:
Max Memory Speed
2x1R DDR5-5200
2x2R DDR5-5200
4x1R DDR5-3600
4x2R DDR5-3600
Does this mean that the ram speed of 5600 are not being utilized by the chip and limited to the Max Ram Speeds of 5200? Also, does that mean for the other ram connection speeds of 3600, that if I buy 5600 ram to match what I currently have really wont be utilized and only run at 3600 ram speed? Essentially blowing money or, I guess, being prepared for a CPU upgrade in the future.

or am I completely wrong in these assumptions

Any feedback appreciated

According to the motherboard's specs page;

ROG CROSSHAIR X670E EXTREME | Gaming motherboards｜ROG - Republic of Gamers｜ROG Global

Designed for the broadest range of demanding fans, the ROG Crosshair X670E Extreme features 20 + 2 power stages, DDR5 support, five M.2 slots, ROG Gen-Z.2, a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 front-panel connector with Quick Charge 4+ Support, dual USB4®, PCIe® 5.0 and onboard Wi-Fi 6E.

you're in good hands with your current motherboard, ram and CPU combo.

Just make sure you're on the latest BIOS version and that the speeds of the ram advertised on the ram's sticker, is the same in BIOS.

FYI, that case is horrible, blocked off front end, with limited points of entry for fresh, cooler ambient air to enter.

FCLK(Infinity Fabric Clock) no longer needs to be tied to the MEMCLK or UCLK.

FCLK should be left on AUTO and you can run the RAM at full speed. ZEN4 will take advantage of the faster RAM. This assumes 1 dimm per channel.

Yeah I know the case is horrible now, I didnt know when I bought it. I might just break the front tempered panel to open up the front of the case and allow more fresh air in! And the MSI cooler is junk and apparently fail after 6 months, Also of which I didnt know when I bought it!

Idk why the vendor (or i guess i do, Money) sold me the msi stuff, I went in person and asked the guys there if the cooler and case where good! , its funny though he pushed me to get the warranty on the aio.... obv he knew the situation.

Awesome thanks for this response! I just watched a bunch of videos on the infinity fabric. And it all makes more sense now!
