I already have this memory, will be working on a new MSI X870E carbon build.
I already possess this memory, Corsair Vengeance CMK32GX5M2X6600C32, it isn't listed on the memory list for this motherboard. Can there be a way to use it without buying another 32 gig kit? My current kit is brand new, sealed, and I've used it before, but I want to try it in my upcoming build. Thanks for the advice, turks1966
It should function properly though since it's Intel optimized memory, so you won't have any assurances about achieving the maximum speeds. Jedec options should be acceptable. (Just attempt it)
If you attempt to turn on XMP, adjust the bus speed from 6600 to 6000. If this succeeds, performance will improve and increase. The motherboard or CPU could support running up to 6400 at full capacity. Using 6600 will lower one of the internal AMD bus speeds by half, which is not ideal.
You also have the chance to sell it and purchase a replacement, even though there might be a financial loss. DDR5 is generally more affordable than the 2023 version when memory was released, and AMD optimized memory is now more accessible.
I revisited the MSI support page for the X870e carbon WiFi motherboard, which I plan to use, and confirmed that this memory kit is available—it should function properly. The CPU I’ll install is the AMD 9800X3D with my 4080 GPU. This is my first non-Intel build after many years using Intel components. I’m hoping I won’t later regret my decisions. Thank you for your prompt response.
