[SOLVED] Will a 3600MHz RAM work with Ryzen 2600 on a B450 motherboard?

[og2]

Hello,

AMD Ryzen 5 2600 spec says it caps at 2933MHz.

I'm planning to get 3600MHz because at my local store is priced cheaper ($80) than a 3200MHz ($90).
What I'd like to know if will it work without any stability issues? Will it boot normally?

It will work but you will most likely have to run at 2800-2933 MHz.

If you buy a 3600Mhz kit, you will have to manually set it to lower speeds as it likely won't have XMP or DOCP for speeds supported by Ryzen 2000. A 3200Mhz kit should work if it's 2x8GB, but if you don't buy a kit listed on the memory QVL you may have to manually overclock it to 3200 instead of using XMP. You have a far better chance of it working if it's on the memory QVL for Ryzen 2000 (Pinnacle Ridge) or branded as AMD ready or compatible. https://www.gigabyte.com/us/Motherboard/B450M-S2H-rev-10/support#support-doc.

If you want to run four modules, which can be faster on some games, you will be stuck at 2933/3000 maximum with single rank 8GB modules. Using 2x16GB will also be stuck at 2933/3000 and 4x16GB may force you to 2666. 3466 with 2x8GB is about the fastest you can run with Ryzen 2000, but that will be harder to achieve with cheap memory kits and lower end motherboards like yours.
