Motherboard limits memory?

[Whalelicker]

My mobo states it is capable to run up to 3200Mhz (OC) maximum.

 

Does it matter if i run a two stick config at 3600Mhz?

try it and see if it works, if it freezes or doesnt allow you to run ot that fast, the limit is true or the r is not capable of such speeds

To refrase. I am running 3600Mhz C16 on aorus ultra gaming, which only states 3200Mhz OC as its max. Can that by somehow hurtful in the long run?

when you overclock you put more load on the vrm feeding ram slots, the ram itself is being put under stress too

 

it should shorten life, but we are talking that you might sell that pc in 5 years and could be ok for a couple years after that, usually what dies first is the motherboard, and is usually lasting 5 or 6 years, perhaps more

 

the life of a pc part is long these days, you still see second hand gpus on sale after 6 years of the release

 

when you shorten lifespan usually ypu kill the part, and we are talking hard overclock and poor airflow on a cpu, ram is really uncommon

1.38V on RAM is just fine. More curious how was i able to OC it to 3733 even, 3600 C16 stable. Also VRM MOS max is around 60C, sound safe to me

You have the AsRock X470 Taichi, correct?

I'm looking at AsRock's product page, and it says..

AMD Ryzen series CPUs (Pinnacle Ridge) support DDR4 3466+(OC) / 3200(OC) / 2933/2667/2400/2133 ECC & non-ECC, un-buffered memory

3466+ (OC).

Pinnacle Ridge is the Ryzen 2000 series.

The X470 Aorus Ultra Gaming?

3200 MHz was for Ryzen 2000; it would make sense for Gigabyte to play it safe because of Ryzen 1000 and Ryzen 2000's weaker Integrated Memory Controller (IMC).

I would not be too surprised if it can run at a higher frequency when paired with a 37000X.

There were a couple AGESA BIOS updates throughout 2019 -- and the latest released July 12th (Ryzen 3000 was support was released in May 2019).
