Not aiming for 5100 MHz RAM since budget is tight (a higher GPU would be better). Still interested in the possibility. This was built soon after the Ryzen 2nd generation release. My 1600X failed after the cooler removed the chip during cleaning. Luckily I updated the BIOS a month prior. Could it still work?
the top ASUS model confirmed the board matches "G.SKILL F4-4400C19D-16GTZSW." It uses 2x8GB 4400mhz RAM at 3200mhz during testing. Likely a B350 chipset memory controller, constrained by PCB layering and manufacturing limits at that frequency.
Chipsets aren't responsible for memory management; the CPU handles it entirely.
Perhaps? Unless I discover some 5100 MHz DDR4 RAM beneath my pillow, I suppose we'll never be sure.
