Make and model is what?

Asus ProArt? Gigabyte Aero? EVGA Kingpin? MSI Unify? AsRock Steel Legend?
What exactly?

Since without that, i can't look up MoBo specs and tell if your 4800 Mhz DDR4 RAM will work at 4800 Mhz, or is it reduced to JEDEC standard speeds of 2133-3200 Mhz.

https://www.asus.com/motherboards-components/motherboards/prime/prime-z690-p-d4/ oh sorry this one sir , i've forgot PRIME Z690-P D4 . I hope that ram will work .

Here's your MoBo memory QVL: https://www.asus.com/motherboards-c...elpdesk_qvl_memory?model2Name=PRIME-Z690-P-D4

Put the RAM part number in it and look if MoBo supports it at given speeds or not.

I looked up a bit and only G.Skill 2x 16GB set that runs at 4800 Mhz is with part number of: F4-4800C20D-32GTES

If the RAM you have is with same part number, you're golden.
If not, chances that it holds 4800 Mhz is 50:50. It may, or it may default to anywhere between 2133 and 3200 Mhz.

If you want a guarantee, buy the RAM listed in MoBo memory QVL.

Your mobo shows it will support that speed but don't be surprised if the cpu won't.

what if i buy 2 of this ? Corsair VENGEANCE LPX DDR4 RAM 32GB (2x16GB) 3600MHz CL18 AMD Ryzen Memoria per Computer - Nero (CMK32GX4M2Z3600C18) https://www.amazon.it/gp/product/B082DH1FZR/ref=ewc_pr_img_1?smid=A11IL2PNWYJU7H&psc=1 I really don't know if this will work . . .

Should work.....you might want to update the bios first.

What's wrong with the ram you have now?

My first RAM is 16 GB 4x4 sticks, and it is a bit slow for video editing and multitasking. Since today is Black Friday, and many RAMs are sale, I would like to upgrade and sell the old RAM.. i just can't fight a good Ram on my pc with higher clock's speed MTS .. and i don't know what Ram i should buy .and too many ram are out of stock .couldyou suggest me one ? https://www.amazon.it/ in here.

By a 2x32gb kit. I doubt you will see much improvement going beyond 3200 CL16, with a 12th gen chip.

In your first post you show 2x16GB now your saying 4x4GB?

Some options.

That specific RAM isn't listed in your MoBo memory QVL. So, it operating at 3600 Mhz is 50:50 chance.
But it does work within JEDEC speeds of 2133-3200 Mhz.

But if you plan to buy two sets of 2x 16GB, then all 4x DIMMs working together have even smaller chance. Let alone running all 4x at 3600 Mhz.

If you need 4x DIMMs, buy a set of 4.

I'll buy 2x16 first and then I'll test if it works fine. I'll buy 2x16 again to make it 4xDIMMS 64gb, is that okay? https://www.amazon.it/gp/product/B082DH1FZR/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1?smid=A11IL2PNWYJU7H&psc=1
that's what I'll buy
. Thank you sir

I will update you all on what happens
