First PC setup guide
hello all hope all is well. thanks in advance for any replies. I will start build in a day or 2 just waiting on tower case/monitor/keyboard 1st question what is difference in Matisse, Pinnacle Ridge, Picasso ?? reason why I ask I am looking at installing memory modules on Am4 boards. 2nd question what category would I fall under with my build.(matisse, pinnacle ridge or Picasso) which is in my signature. and maybe you can tell me exactly which slots would I put my G.skill ramm in .. a1a2b1b2 thanks again
Use two RAM modules in the standard order, placing the first in the farthest slot from the CPU and the second in the next position. Your motherboard guide should provide specifics, but this is the typical guideline. Matisse refers to the CPU model, similar to IvyBridge for Intel or Coffe Lake for AMD. Your 3900X corresponds to Matisse.
You seem to be working with a Matisse running on an AMD 3900X CPU. It’s unclear if support exists across all platforms—AMD, ASRock, or GSKill are trying to help but you’re not sure. Regarding RAM, make sure it matches the system requirements for your specific model.
yes the 3900x model uses matisse. typically am4 motherboards require ram placement in the second and fourth dimming slots from the cpu. keep the closest dimming slot empty, insert a stick of ram there, leave the next empty, then add another stick in the fourth slot
It suggests the product isn't listed in the support section, possibly meaning it's not compatible with your system.
Indicates testing is still pending, though most memory kits function properly. The main considerations are whether it operates at rated speeds or if adjustments like downclocking or tweaking timings are necessary. Simply connect it and if it powers up, it should run at 2133mhz (default for DDR4). Activate the XMP profile, ensuring the command rate matches the kit’s recommendation for optimal performance.
Not necessarily. It simply indicates Asrock didn't test it. I own a Corsair RGB Pro 3200MHz card that isn't listed in the QVL for my motherboard, but I activated XMP and it functions perfectly. This doesn't guarantee your setup will work 100%, but it also doesn't confirm incompatibility.
