Posted May 12 (edited) Hi so recently i saw a TEAMGROUP T-FORCE Dark ZA 32GB KIT (2X16GB) DDR4 3600MHZ Gaming Memory (TDZAD432G3600HC18JDC01) for only 35USD (I'm from the PHP and use USD pricing instead) at my Local Store and I was planning on upgrading my pc RAM from 16gb to 32gb (Work related Stuff) but i hesitated if it's compatible with my current Motherboard and CPU since i keep getting mix result when i research this topic mostly i get results like RAM is RAM, Voltage Compatibility, Mobo Limitation Etc. Cause Upon checking the RAM model number on MSI Website it does say It is compatible with my current MOBO but only for single or dual channel up to 16gb ddr4 3600mhz only. So what do you guys think should i buy it or Nah? Current Specs: CPU: AMD R7 5700X MOBO: B450M MORTAR TITANIUM Side Note: I know it may seem the problem is simple and a easy fix but I just wanted to make sure that it's working and won't cause me any trouble in the Future. since i'm not all that tech Savvy when it comes to the inner workings of compatibility of certain of PC parts.

The main thing that gives an indication of the compatibility is the QVL, since you said you already checked the site and saw that this ram was on the list, I'd say you have good odds of this working as intended. I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B Primary PC: i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me. Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference. How many watts do I need?

Simply turn off XMP, turn off your PC, plug in the new sticks, enable XMP back for 3600MHz and it should work.

Posted May 12 if u need the ram, there's no harm in buying it and trying, you can keep your 16GB kit, just in case the 32GB kit doesn't work, and sell it after you've confirmed that the 32GB kit is working Note: Users receive notifications after Mentions & Quotes.

Posted May 12 You just have to do the best you can, since there's never a 100% guarantee your new RAM will work. Even RAM on the QVL can change the memory chips between versions and end up being problematic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
