Hi hopefully I'm in the right forum for this question.

I am building a new gaming rig and I want to use the MSI MPG X570 Gaming Edge wifi MB with Corsair vengeance pro rgb 3600mhz RAM.  I've read a couple places that these are AND are not compatible.  How can I know for sure before opening the RAM and losing the ability to return the product?  The RAM is 2x8Gb sticks CMW16GX4M2D3600C18.

Appreciate the feedback.

That board is terrible. I would suggest the X570 Tomahawk if you want a solid X570 board. The B550 Gaming Edge wifi is also good and should cost less.

 

As for the Ram then most should work fine without any issue. The QVL list can give you an idea, although it doesn't have every single kit on there.

How much will that board cost you? Because it overheats even with a 12 core CPU (with overclock however), unacceptable at a launch price of over $200.

I originally wanted the b550 gaming edge wifi.  The x570 tomahawk is also unavailable at this time.  Any other suggestions? Also, is the board terrible because it over heats with OC? I was under the impression that AMD CPUs don't have much head room for OC, is that not true?

Whether true or not, if I'm not over clocking the cpu should I still choose a different board?

 

Thanks
