Will MSI x470 Gaming Plus recognize my ram speed with A-XMP?

[nihil___]

So I'm building a pc mainly for gaming and some photoshop and as it's a ryzen build I had to think about the ram that would be better utilized by the MSI X470 Gaming Plus I consider getting. I know that the ideal is a CL14 model, but they're too expensive right now. So, I am now thinking about this one

Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB DDR4-3200MHz (CMK16GX4M2B3200C16)

Is there any way for it to reach 3200 with the a-xmp and be stable? Has anybody tested that? FYI the cpu is a Ryzen 5 2600x, not that it really matters.

shows CMK16GX4M2B3000C15 ver5.30 is on the QVL list, I think you will probably be fine. I will try to ask retailer if 3200 kit is ver5.30.
Yes, CL16 is perfectly fine for you usage.
Living in US? Budget? In my opinion, 2600 is better bang for the money. What GPU do you have in mind? Other components?

Get 2600X if you have budget left.
NVME ssd has little to none benefit for your usage, larger sata ssd will work better.
7200 rpm hdd is faster
1080ti is faster
evga supernova g2 is much better than CXM

I'll check them and decide. Thanks a lot for your help and suggestions!

the msi x470 will not clock them to 3200mhz right away, i recently built mine and had to enable a-xmp and choose profile 2 for it to reach just under the 3000mhz mine was which is close enough. Apparently some people are saying not to use A-xmp and to manually overclock the ram to the desired setting so you may need to look into that. For now I've left mind on a-xmp enabled
