Ryzen Memory compatabilty

[Mystery.]

Hello.
I am planning to build a new ryzen pc. I have heard about memory compatibility issues with ryzen, so im not sure mine will work. I have a kingston kvr ddr4 2133 8gb cl15 on my current intel pc, and so I want to use this kit and buy another one (so i will have 16gb of ram in total) since im on a tight budget and would like to save money to spend on other components, instead of buying a compatible 16gb set in amd's list of compatible memory. Would love if somebody can help me and reassure me    .

Thanks.

CPU: Ryzen 2600

TBH with you, I wouldn't even use the 2133 with ryzen. The infinityfabric is directly affected by the speed of your ram... so I wouldn't go with anything less than 3000mhz if possible and in most cases the difference between 2400 and 3000 is only 10-20 bucks... but that 10-20 bucks will give you a 5-10% performance gain.

 

So i think spending a little more for the fast ram would be your best bet.

So its better to buy faster memory instead of higher capacity ones?

Not necessarily. I am just saying that running slower memory will actually hold back your cpu on the ryzen platform.

Ok. Thank you.

I run 3200 ram at 2133 on my board its fine its what is supported you have to remember you don't always get that speed on the box I bought better ram to move it to the next build more or less
