I recently purchased a Ryzen 5 3600 and after hearing much about its performance with fast RAM, I bought a 3600 MHz kit without realizing the R5 3600 only supports up to 3200 MHz. Is there any advantage to the 3600 MHz kit you bought? Will the CPU automatically cap its speed to 3200 MHz? I have configured the XMP profile to 3600 MHz and it runs smoothly, so I’m curious if there’s any change.

3600mhz seems to be an ideal setting for Ryzen, allowing you to push your RAM to higher speeds if you remember correctly.

It seems someone recently used a high-end setup with over 4000MHz RAM and a 3600+ B450 processor.

AMD initially mentioned 3733mhz as the optimal frequency for Ryzen, ensuring smooth performance for the majority of users.

It isn't locked, yet I believed the CPU reduces speeds while using RAM. The Task Manager displays 3600 MHz.

They didn't check it. The site mentions 3200 MHz but refers to system memory, not maximum supported RAM. The second page shows you can overclock memory, but it's unclear if that helps the CPU performance.

impressive upgrade! your 3200 boosted to about 3600, that's a noticeable jump.
