Check RAM and motherboard support for your system.
As the title says.......RAM + motherboard compatibility. I have a ram....specifically this ram Kingston "Black Beast" or whatever.... Back in the day...it wasn't that "HARD" to know which ram will you bought or mobo.... But I'm gonna do a little upgrade of my PC...I'll still be on "Gen4"....AM4, DDR4, PciE 4.....if u know what I mean. I guess it is going to be Ryzen 5 5600 or 5600x CPU....but I can't decide for mobo. I'm not looking anything expensive or "GAMING"....I was aiming for B550 chipset with 4 slots for ram....since I have 4 sticks... But I can't find my ram on any QVL lists. I was looking into....I don't know.....5-6 boards....not one is compatible with my ram..... I was aiming for Gigabyte AORUS board....I don't mind if it is mATX or ATX mobo... Any suggestions? THANK YOU very much.
The QVL indicates only the RAM that was checked for compatibility. It doesn’t specify which ones are unsupported. If an item isn’t listed, it means the manufacturer hasn’t tested it, nothing further.
Oh, ok. THANK YOU. Btw, I've figured out why I have some occasional crashes on my PC...I didn't mention that am I? It looks like XMP + RAM are unstable...I don't know why...voltage is 1.35... Cause my present mobo supports (copied from Gigabyte webpage) Support for DDR4 3200(O.C.)/2933(O.C.)/2667*/2400/2133 and my ram works only on: 2400, 3000 XMP p2 and 3200 XMP p1. So...I guess ram can only works on 2400 or 3200. System booted fine...works fine.....but I had occasional "ram leaks"....PC is sitting for a few hours, ram goes up to 10-12GB of usage and I had occasional BSOD when ram usage goes high...above 16GB. And I've tested ram kits....through WinMemoryDiag...kit of 2 reports no errors, second kit also reporting no errors.....but testing them together....there are some errors in Event Viewer (didn't remember which errors). But now is ram on 2400....tested all kits at once....everything is fine. Well, I've just opened more than 240 bookmarks in Firefox....ram usage went up to 27GB...and it is working... I'm happy today. Thank you all.
