Confused about memory speed

[dai1510]

amazon says ryzen 5 2600 max memory speed 2933mhz, but on AMD'S website it says ( under system memory ) memory specification ( not max ) 2933mhz, but also says unlocked ( under specifications ) WTF!!!!!!!! can anyone enlighten me as to what the hell this all means.

Max stock memory speeds are 2933, you can overlcock it past that.

It really doesnt matter a whole lot.

 

Just get 3000 or 3200mhz memmory. 

 

In short, up to 2933mhz is officialy supported while anything above is "overclocked". Any kit that says 3000mhz reaches that frequency using XMP/DOCP which autooverclocks memmory to said speed.

 

 

In other words, you git to BIOS and click apply XMP and done. In other words, it really doesnt matter if you follow what i said first in this post.

 

 

Also wrong subforum btw

thank god i was hoping that was the case because i would like to run 3200mhz of ram

The "Unlocked: Yes" under the AMD specification indicates that it has an unlocked multiplier, meaning it is overclockable. This has nothing to do with memory, but with CPU frequency.

The 2933 MHz is the maximum officially supported JEDEC standard value. Anything beyond that is considered as overclocking.

 

Also, you reposted in the wrong neighborhood sub forum.

I just had a quick look at your history. Get some a good mobo like PRO4 series from ASrock as minimum or MSI Tomahawk and above. (Im talking B450 here, not B350)

 

Also quote people or we will never know you responded.

The max stock memory speed is 2933MHz. Anything past that is considered overclocking. 

I wouldn't worry about it though since 3000MHz/3200MHz is best for Ryzen.
