Question What ram for Ryzen 5 2600

[FlorisEerland]

Hello,
I am building a PC with a Ryzen 5 2600 and an MSI B450 gaming pro, but I can't even find good memory is supported on with my mobo and cpu? I want 16 GB (2*8), with a maximum price of 130€ (when it is a big upgrade I could spend even more). In advance thanks!

DDR4-3000 is the best bang for your buck right now. My experience has been that if you're buying G.Skill, Corsair, Crucial, etc (name brands) RAM, the QVL doesn't really matter.

Okay, thanks!

Do you have to change the memory speed to 2993? Or is it also possible to overclock it to 3100 or 3200?

3200-3600MHz seems to be about the highest you're guaranteed to get on a Ryzen 2xxx CPU. I don't like OCing RAM personally, I just buy whatever speed I want to run. That said, it may not default to the advertised speed when you first install it (typically defaults to the max memory of the CPU, in this case, 2933MHz) so you may have to teak some things get your RAM running at optimal speed.

Pick any one of these for optimal performance:

any of the f 4 3200 from g-skil will work https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/B450-GAMING-PRO-CARBON-AC#support-mem-14
