Checking RAM speed and Ryzen CPUs
Checking RAM speed and Ryzen CPUs
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.
I didn't read it; I was just processing your request.
The information comes from the text you provided.
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.
The mention of 3200mhz indicates the RAM performs reliably, meeting the needs of 99.9% of users.
