Ryzen Ram Support

[JustEbu]

Hello. Can someone tell me if "Corsair Vengeance RGB 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 3200MHz" is compatible with the Ryzen 1700x?

I read some articles that says Ryzen doesn't support 3200MHz Ram? If it's so can you guys recommend me a nice Memory please  

 

My Components are now:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 1700X

CPU Cooler: Corsair Hydro Series H110i

RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 3200MHz

Motherboard: MSI X370 Gaming Pro Carbon

HDD: Toshiba 2TB

SSD: SanDisk SSD PLUS 240GB

GPU: Asus ROG Strix GeForce GTX1080-A8G

Case: Corsair Obsidian Series 750D

Power Supply: Corsair RMX Series RM750X (750 Watt)

You should be fine, just make sure that your motherboard has the most up-to-date BIOS. It's actually the opposite, Ryzen performs better with RAM speeds between 3000 - 3200MHz.

I don't know who is going around saying that Ryzen doesn't support 3200MHz RAM, because it's not true. It had difficulty reaching those speeds when it first came out, but that isn't nearly the issue now as it was back then. Plus, it's not the CPU that you really have to be concerned about compatibility with. Check on MSI's page for the X370 Gaming Pro Carbon to be sure that kit of RAM is compatible. It will be under the support tab.

Otherwise, it looks like you have a nice set up.

Either those articles are hella old or the person writing them is a n00b. I've been at 3200mhz for months lol

@BluJay614 Omg... This Motherboard doesn't support 3200MHz  It says "RAM Speed: 3200MHZ and Supported Speed: 2400MHz.... Thanks for telling me that! <3

So found this :Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3200MHz

Sadly no RGB  

 

But thanks for your help guys!

I would suggest you go for a different mobo. While the pro carbon looks cool the vrms are quite eh and it's missing a lot of features that should be standard for its price tag. I suggest you look at something like the gaming 5, prime pro, or x370 f gaming instead.
