Will this ram work for Ryzen?

[joshbot21]

Will 16gb of 2666mhz dominator platinum work on my gigabyte gaming 5 motherboard with a ryzen 1600?

2666 is supported out of the box without OC

I wouldn't bother with that slow of RAM.

 

Because of the cost, DDR4 3200 is an easy sell IMO.

 

With that said, get a Ryzen kit.

 

The RAM in my signature worked out fine and took to manually being set to 3200mhz no problem.

 

They are also low profile, so it will fit with most, if not all, massive air coolers.

It's hard to consider 2666 slow considering there's only about 5% difference in performance.  Source

The whole "Ryzen loves faster ram" is blown way out of proportion.

 

His choice of Dominator Platinum 2666 is just fine, in my opinion, but maybe a little expensive. A price comparison between Corsair Dominator Platinum 2666 and G.Skill Flare X 3200 is needed. It'd be best to go by Gigabyte's known supported memory list, but even if it's on on QVL, ram is ram and will probably work. Updated bios recommended, of course. http://www.gigabyte.us/Motherboard/GA-AX370-Gaming-5-rev-10#support-doc

I would argue it's worth it if you are investing in a new platform, especially when the cost difference I wouldn't consider massive.

 

I would go by what RAM is on the support list you linked to though, just because of the RAM compatibility issues.
