Would this void my warrenty on x570 Asus TUF Gaming?

[KBAnthis]

I noticed in the manual it lists that the 3200 MHz recommended by AMD is listed as O.C. in the manual for the x570 Asus TUF Gaming motherboard. Does this mean using this memeory would void the warrenty? Other motherboards I have seen do not list this as O.C. I was considering getting a Aorus Elite instead. It does not list 3200 as Over Clocked. I am confused as to what all this means. If it is safe for years to come to use 3200 MHz in the TUF x570 when it only lists 2666 MHz as not over clocked. Does that mean the board is not rated for it? Any help would be appreciated.

Everything above 2666mhz counts as OC. Thats the same with Intel. I doubt this has any impact on warranty.

Then again the Aorus Elite only has support up to 3200 MHz but does not list it as overclocked. I am not sure how to take the information being new to computer science.

It wouldn't necessary void the warranty of the motherboard, but *can* void the warranty on the CPU.

 

I was chatting with Intel Support Team with RMA'ing one of my CPUs.

I did mention that I enabled XMP, I'll be honest with the guy, it is an Intel feature anyways, and this was part of their response -- as a precaution / warning.

Quote

The cpu's memory types that are supported are:

DDR4 2400/2133

 

As you used XMP to overclock the system, leading to cause system issues and also could void any potential warranty on the future.

With this information being said, I want to really help you out.

Third Generation Ryzen should support up to 3200 MHz without being considered (O.C.) ... from my understanding.

For an example, for the Ryzen 3800X....

 

For Ryzen 2000 and 1000 series, 3200 MHz would be considered overclocking.

I think ASUS didn't correct/update their documents/webpages for Ryzen 3000 series specifications, and just added the extra O.C. frequencies to the list.

AKA copy-pasta.

That must be the case and I will try to contact them as I had picked up corsair 16 x 2 (32gb) ram 3200 c16 for another board I returned to upgrade. I had got two channels at 3200mhz like I had discussed in another thread I had started. I will try to contact asus customer support. The memory is on the qvl that I purchased, and is naturally set to 2666 MHz which I had to turn on xmp on the other motherboard to get to 3200 MHz ,from what I remember doing though as it was a while ago. I am wondering if I should get a 2666 MHz c13 but will have to do more research as like you posted may be outdated information. As it seems like it.

I think the only potential would be if you somehow managed to fry a memory controller...both AMD and Intel's warranties have lines about "may void warranty" when it comes to overclocking, but that's primarily CPU I think...  If you're using a built-in profile and it's stable I would be amazed if they griped at you.

 

That aside, remember that you can do anything with the hardware you buy.  Along those same lines, companies will do everything they can to not spend money if A) they can get away with it and B) it doesn't give them bad PR.

 

There's also a difference between manually entering timings to get memory to work vs. using built-in tested profiles vs. intentionally manually boosting voltage etc. beyond norms.  You also have no guarantee that any support agent you talk to actually has full knowledge about what that entails.

It may be as you said copy pasta error as seen here in the highlighted area the same 4 x 16 listed for 16 , 32, and 64 part numbers for Hyper X

When I used the memory I currently have Corsair 32 gb 2 x 16gb AMD ( CMW32GX4M2Z3200C16)  on the last MBD I simply clicked xmp and selected 3200 and never had one problem with the build it for the whole month (return window). I then saw some reviews claiming it was the only motherboard not recommended because of VRM so I returned it. I am glad I did return it as it was on sale at the time and I did not know as much as I know now on finding a good motherboard. I am fairly certain the TUF X570 meets all my needs and the next step up would be the Aorus Elite, but at $35 more I figure go for the TUF. I am hoping to have x570 incase I upgrade my CPU to Zen 3 in the future, and at only $45 more then a Tomahawk 450 it seems justifiable.

Asrock X570 Taichi might be another option if you're looking for good VRMs.

I really enjoy the look of the x570 Taichi and also  the Asus ACE WS x570 ,This video seems to be clarifying my original question.

From what I have gathered I may be better off with c13 2666mhz than 3200 c16 .

13*2000/2666 = 9.75
16*2000/3200=10
Slightly lower latency. I will not be using this for gaming. Simple workstation tasks. CPU will be Ryzen 9 3900x Or one of the Zen 2 series chips. maybe 7 3700x maybe 5 3600 but most likely 9. Any thoughts? I am on a limited budget. The board I purchased states anything over 2666 MHz as OC, while the video states anything over 2133 mhz. Not sure what to think or do. From what I can gather AMD states anything over 3200 MHz while ASUS states for their board anything over 2666 MHz  what do you all think? Just trying to make sure I stay in all warranties as this will be a workstation computer.  HX432C16PB3AK2 Hyper X 32gb 2 x 16gb 2666 MHz c13 is what I am considering purchasing. I am still in window of free return on c16 3200 mhz.   

[KBAnthis]

If I do go with the 2666 c13 would that mean that my latency would be lower then 3200 c16 and there fore would be faster if I have enough extra ram  to be used at one time for tasks.. So 32 gb 2 x 16gb 2666 c13 not OC would mean more of the ram percentage would be used but the it would be faster less latency? Would it be smarter to just try to overclock the 3200 c16 down to c14 with a ryzen 9 or would it smarter or safer to just go with JEDEC 2666 c13. I wish I had a computer scientist on speed dial.
