I have a query about RAM compatibility. I recently purchased a RAM module that supports DDR5, and the motherboard has a DDR4 socket. Will it still function properly? I noticed some sources say it works with DDR5 as well. I just need confirmation so I can cancel this order and get DDR4 instead.

Your board works best with DDR4, and all AM4 models support it. For DDR5 on AMD systems like the Ryzen 7/8/9000, you'll need AM5.

Noted. The motherboard is compatible only with DDR4. Every Ryzen 1000 to 5000 processor works best with DDR4 as well.

Could you explain why you're purchasing additional RAM? Is your existing memory performing sluggishly?
