My son's computer had some issues and I needed to buy him a new platform. I went with AM4 because his monitor is 4k and he does not need the latest and greatest CPU to get good frames at 4k.
I purchased a 5700x and a MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk for a very good price and grabbed a couple of sticks of Corsair 3200 RAM.
First, the RAM is not on the QVL. So my effort may be fruitless. Neither of the aXMP profiles work. I went with the MSI memory try it feature and it booted at 3200mhz. But it was not stable and crashed in some games.
Most of my issues with memory impact the ability to boot. Since it will boot does that mean I may have some success manually overclocking the RAM?
I have not done a lot of manual memory overclocking as most of my chips have been Intel. Is it worth trying to make it work if not on the QVL?
I know that I should have looked at the QVL first, but I assumed AMD's RAM compatibility issues were gone by the Ryzen 5xxx generation.
Any advice would be appreciated.
