Hi,
Doing my first build for a while:
Just bought this motherboard. (X570 Aorus Master). The rev 1.2 version is what came in the box.
I am trying to work out what would be the optimal speed of RAM to purchase for 5000 series Ryzen CPU (Ryzen 7).
On the Gigabyte website it states:
- AMD Ryzen™ 5000 series processors:
Support for DDR4 5100(O.C.) / 5000(O.C.) / 4866(O.C.) / 4600(O.C.)/ 4400(O.C.) / 4300(O.C.) / 4266(O.C.) / 4133(O.C.) / 4000(O.C.) / 3866(O.C.) / 3800(O.C.) / 3733(O.C.) / 3600(O.C.) / 3466(O.C.) / 3400(O.C.) / 3333(O.C.) / 3300(O.C.) / 3200 / 2933 / 2667 / 2400 / 2133 MHz memory modules
Based on the above, what speed should I go with? 4000 or 3600 or 3200? or other?
I read on a couple of guides that for example, 4000 may be optimal when paired with 5000 series CPU.
Where it is only OC e.g. 4000, 3600, what does this exactly mean when compared to where it not OC e.g. 3200. In terms of specific set up? I am not yet familiar with the bios to know yet.
What would happen if I buy ram rated at 3600 or 4000 and i dont overclock for example?
Do you recommend any specific RAM or ram combination? Any help appreciated. Thanks.
