Threadripper ram

[davidgtrr34]

I started buying the parts for my new pc which is using a amd 1950x but I bought ram that says it only supports intel. Does anyone know if this ram will work with amd or do I need to get ram that supports amd?

Which RAM? And you need a 1950X?

You better be doing serious video editing or 3D modeling. If you are building just a gaming rig the 8700K will destroy the 1950X.

16 cores is always more fun than 6 cores though

Not sure which MOBO you have, but X399 likes Samsung B die ram.  Check the QVL for your Board, and then below for a list of RAM that will work to it's rated speed.

I had Corsair RAM in an intel build that would XMP to it's 3200 rated speed, but would only do 2133 in the x399.  Changing to B die got me up to 3600 on x399.

I got the msi x399 carbon pro ( https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/X399-GAMING-PRO-CARBON-AC ). Honestly I dont understand the list you posted.

That RAM is on the list I posted, so it should be good up to the 3000mhz and 15 timings it's listed at.  I have a Gigabyte board that has XMP listed in the RAM settings.  With that enabled it went to it's listed timings and was stable.  MSI should have a setting like that in the bios as well.  It will probably boot to 2133 until you change it.
