[SOLVED] Z590 Intel 10th gen Ram support

[Karolis43212]

Hello,

Why does Z490 motherboards support 10th gen Intel CPU with DDR4 3200, but Z590 support only DDR4 2933?

Or am I missing something here? Would Z590 support a Intel 10700K with DDR4 3200 natively?

I am asking because I have this CPU and I need a new motherboard.

Thank you

I was thinking about getting Gigabyte Z590 GAMING X or ASROCK Z590 Steel Legend. But both specifications say that with the 10th gen i7 they support DDR4 2933 max.

Okay, but will I be able to select the speed from the BIOS without additional steps?
Cause i've read that setting the speed over 2933 would void the warranty?

just like any xmp. pick the xmp profile in bios
where did you read that?

I cannot find the source that said about the warranty void, maybe i've read a forum or something.

Thank you for your answer. Very helpful.
