Ryzen 5

[C:\\Mat]

Up to what memory clock does Ryzen 5/7 support? I've been told that its only up to 2400MHz, but apparently it now supports up to 3600.

You should expect at least 2933MHz on any half decent motherboard.

Anything above that is not plug and play... you will have to go into BIOS and play around. I bet that you even need to increase memory controller voltage to get 3600MHz.

Agree, any decent mobo maker, even if they haven't already given a BIOS update that fixes the memory problems should at some time soon from now get this sorted out... they will not be winning any clients by not having good memory support, and word gets around, so it's in their own best interests to be doing this right now.

Most BIOS's only allow up to 3200MHz right now. Strangely for me I had a 1700x and could only clock it to 3.9GHz and the RAM to 2933MHz. I sent it back and got a 1700. And now I'm running 4.0GHz and my RAM at 3200...

 

So as I only have a sample of two I can't come to a complete conclusion but still weird result. 

 

I'll using AMD's version of XPS profiles (I forgot what it's called) to try and run 3600MHz on the RAM tomorrow.

I was thinking of a 1500x, paired with this mobo

MSI, I'm out

 

Seriously don't like them now, would rather go with ASrock/gigabyte/asus in that order.

 It's a hard choice to make. The case I have is micro/mini itx....

There is the gigabyte gaming 3...

2666MHz is where official support ends.

Past that is all overclocking and depends on motherboard, CPU silicon and the memory in question.

 

Most people can hit 2933MHz.  Breaking 3000MHz largely requires BCLK over locking or a very recent bios.

 

This is the sort of thing that will be ironed out over time.

If you like a board and it's features that's the main thing... don't let others influence your choice. I was just playing with ya, I wouldn't do that to someone even if I don't like that particular company. The memory support will come in time as I said earlier, so wouldn't worry too much about that right now, worst it can be is 2133 for DDR4 IIRC... so that's not too bad and things can only get better from there. So just decide on a board that has the right form factor and features you want and have a look at their RAM support list (QVL) and if your RAM is on there then great, if not I wouldn't worry too much anyway.

Technically Intel only supports 2400 MHz RAM. Everything above that is an "overclock".

30 extra bucks puts you in a rysen 1600 with 6 cores and 12 threads. imho the 1500x should not exist so close in price to so clearly superior a chip

Can I be sure that a RAM kit listed at 3200 on the QVL of mobo runs at the same speed on ryzen? I would like to confirm this place the order for the same memory kit. Please reply.

Yes, they are tested on that board that the QVL comes from... it tells you what speed it runs at, so if it says 3200 on the left hand side, then that's what it'll be...  Look at the notes at the top though

 

Note1: Each RAM whose frequency is 3000 will downgrade to 2933 with AB350M Pro4.

Note2: Each RAM whose frequency is 2800 will downgrade to 2666 with AB350M Pro4.
