Question What happens when we put 2666mhz RAM and 3200mhz RAM on Ryzen 5 3550h

[velkumar10]

Hello all,

I have recently brought ASUS TUF FX505DT (Laptop) which comes with 8GB of DDR4 3200Mhz RAM (though Ryzen 5 3550H supports only 2400Mhz).

Now I want to upgrade my RAM capacity, unfortunately I'm not able to find 3200Mhz of RAM in Indian market. So can I put 8GB 2666Mhz DDR4 RAM. Will it cause any issue ?

Could any one guide me on this ?

Thanks in advance.

Maybe it'll work. Maybe it won't. No guarantees when mixing RAM.

And if it ever works, the 3200Mhz RAM will downclock to 2666Mhz.

Do you know what speed the 3200Mhz is running at now? The laptop supports 2666Mhz, but if the 3200Mhz kit isn't already running at 2666Mhz automatically, a second module will run at the same lower speed of the 3200Mhz module. A lot of 3200Mhz modules don't have XMP or an automatic SPD setting for higher than 2133Mhz so it might go from 2133 to 2933/3000 to 3200Mhz.

Also make sure you can return the RAM is case its not compatible or stable.
