Ram for Ryzen 5 2600?

[Flaneln]

What mhz ram should i buy for Ryzen 5 2600? I heard people say that Mhz matters alot for Ryzen processors . A lot of people seem to go for 3200mhz with Ryzen 5 2600 but i did my research and it says that Ryzen 5 2600 max system memory speed is 2933mhz and motherboard can achieve 3200 with overclocking . What do i do? How does it work? Should i just go for 3000mhz ram and dont overclock anything or do i go over that?

Ideally 3000 MHz or higher.

 

If you haven't bought a R5 2600, please wait until Computex (which is in less than a day) since AMD wil be releasing new CPUs.

So don't worry about all of this. Instead, wait another few weeks to decide what CPU to buy.

"Best answer: You can use a total of 64GB of dual-channel DDR4 RAM at speeds of up to 2933MHz. It's possible to overclock the RAM to go even faster, though you'd risk system instability." 

This is what i have simply read on an article . So that means i have to Overclock it to get to 3200 mhz dosent it? Othervise it just runs at 2933

You buy a 3200mhz kit, then install it.

 

boot into the bios and set XMP or docp (it’s literslly the same, just different name) profile to 3200mhz hit f10 save exit reboot and you should be sweet. 

 

But tomorrow is computex and we might hear more about zen2, could also well be we have to wait another 10-14 days for E3. July 7th or so I heard might be release of the zen 2 CPU’s

I do agree, it’s surprising that it is a Sunday, but as you said; probably ship out Sunday so Monday/tuesday pre-orders come in.
