RAM compatibility

jorn001 · March 21

Hi! Im doing an upgrade.

Asrock B550M pro4

Ryzen 7 5700x

Can i use Corsair LPX 2x16 3600mhz ram on this setup? If yes, is it a plug & play or i need some tweaking for the XMP.
Doing some research that my MOBO can support up to 4733+ MHz but my Ryzen 7 5700x only supports 3200MHz

I'm going to put an astrisk on this. The 5700X is only guaranteed by AMD to do 3200MT/s. In practice, these chips can pretty consistently do 3800MT/s in 1:1 mode and 4800MT/s on a good motherboard if you don't care about performance.

Yeah, that should work. With Ryzen 5000, if you don't want to think about it and just enable XMP, the maximum speed I'd recommend is 3600MT/s as that should just work on everything.

That said, are you getting a good deal on it or already own it? If no to both of those, there's usually better kits available for cheaper from other companies. Corsair isn't bad RAM or anything (though some people will say that they have compatibility issues with Ryzen setups), they're just usually quite expensive for whta you're getting.

Then yeah, plug 'em in and they should just work at full speed after you enable XMP.

Eh, that's not great, but it's not bad enough that I'd say it warrants the effort needed to try for a refund and get something else. Just run them when they get there.
