Question Using DDR4 4400 cl16 rams with 11900k

[ali_143]

Hello, is it possible to use 4 x 8Gb 4400 CL16 DDR4 rams with a 11900k CPU ?
Motherboard is MEG Z590 ACE (MSI)
I heard there will be crashes if i use rams over 3600 !!!!

Highly overclocked, your results may vary. All you can do is try.

The RAM will be downclocked to 3200MHz, but with a good OC, you could go higher.

So, yea, technically it should work, but at a slower speed without OC, and at a little higher speeds with OC.

I use an 11900K with the MSI Unify board. I have only found stability when set at 2933 when using all four slots. Any time I go 3000 or over the motherboard wants to do a base clock OC as well which tends to lead to issue.

Well about you, something's wrong with your ram or motherboard because this CPU supports 3200 without any problem.

MEG Z690 ACE is DDR5 board. It doesn't support DDR4 at all.
So - no. It is not possible.

I'm surprised none of previous responders checked that. LOL.

Totally missed it. Good catch.

Sorry, i mean Z590 ... wrong typing ...

I wonder does the OP have an 11900k, and has just mistated the mobo?

Edit: BOOM

So your mobo does support faster ram. That's great. The 11900k on the other hand only supports 3200mhz (Officially). Your CPU IMC may not be able for that. However, the caveat there is, that Intel IMC are very robust, so it's likely it will run just fine. Be prepared though that they may not work as intended. (Disclaimer!)

The IMC is capable, but like all systems populating all slots can cause issues. Instead of 4 x8gb DIMMS, 2 x 16gb is prreferred. And if you really wanna go all in, then dual ranked as well (not dual channel, that is different).

Edit: Ill defer to the guidance @punkncat here, as he has the same proc. Will know much more than I about it.
