Ram question

[Opeb]

I have laptop that has 10th gen i7 it supports highest 2933 ram but I can’t find any in my country but i found plenty 3200 mhz ram if I put that in my laptop will it work at 2933 mhz and will it cause any stability issues?

No, it won't have stability issues

 

When RAM mentions 3200MHz, it usually refers to 'Up to'

So when you purchase and installed 3200MHz RAM onto your laptop, it will be adjusted to 2933MHz speed

Companies always list smaller ram speed on the cpus, aren't you yourself using faster ram than amd advertises?

nah, they don't really? 

 

you can get faster ram to work maybe but its not officially supported and not guaranteed... while ram that's within specifications and on the qvl actually is. big difference lol.

For OP's case, Intel 10th Gen only support RAM speed DDR4 for up-to 2933MHz

Intel's CPU finally can provide max speed 3200MHz on 11th Gen

So, technically the company provide the RAM that fits the exact same speed as the max speed the CPU can handle

 

While for my case in AM5, my DDR5 RAM has default 4800MHz, but is overclockable (XMP) to 6000MHz because my RAM and motherboard is capable to do so
