Hi there,

 

I am looking to make this build

The max RAM speed on AMD's Website is 2933MHz for the Ryzen 5 2600 but the RAM i would like is 3200 Mhz and I know that it may cause instability, so my question is

 

When you Buy Ram will it always start off at a low clock speed such as 2133 MHz and then u have to manually overclock it in the BIOS or will it start of at 3200MHz

Also does this mobo support RAM overclocking and does it support CPU overclocking

 

Also if there anything that I should know about my Case, PSU, Bottlenecks or etc , before I start ordering parts

 

Thanks in Advance

If you have the latest bios, the ram would overclock automatically to it's designated speed.

If not, you should enable XMP in the bios.

You can overclock CPU and RAM on B450 motherboards, although I wouldn't recommend it. X470/X570 motherboards have always been more stable for OC. 

 

In terms of anything you should know, If you haven't bought anything yet, I'd consider buying Ryzen 3000, or waiting a bit for Ryzen 4000. The price is similar, and you get a significant performance boost.
