Strix x470 Motherboard and 3600mhz

[Mursy]

Hey guys wanting to build a new system again, but I dont know what board I want to get. I want to get an asus board just cause I like the asus boards better but I am building a travel pc so its going to be a itx build the X570-i from asus just went available again and I want to know if I even need it. I am not going to be using pcie gen 4 yet it would be to use the highest 1:1 ratio on the infinity fabric. So could I get away with running a Strix x470-i in my new build with a stable 3600mhz.

 

Thanks,

Mike Magee

Because it's DDR. You have to multiply the actual clock by 2.  There is no ram in existence that hits actual 3600mhz.

Just remember X470 most likely won't support 3rd gen Ryzen out of the box. You will need to do a BIOS update first.

My Step brother is getting the 2nd parts so I will update my board first then build our rigs step by step.
