This mobile might not fit Canada's requirements. The product listed here is black with red markings, which isn't approved for Canadian computers. It also has a maximum rating of one.
It seems they shared an incorrect link for Canada Computers. The correct model is the Gaming Plus Max, which features a different motherboard than the one referenced. This version doesn’t match the red variant shown (https://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX78787). It offers superior VRM compared to the mATX board you linked, though it may not perform as well for overclocking or high-end Ryzen processors.
It reaches its peak at 2666 MHz because that frequency aligns with the chipset’s capabilities, ensuring optimal performance. Choosing the X570 might be worth considering if you need higher-end features or better value, but it depends on your specific requirements.
It also mentions "Supports Stock Clocked RAM up to DDR4 2667: also supports Overclocked RAM up to DDR4 4133 (OC)." From what I understand, by default it typically initializes the RAM at 2666MHz until you apply an XMP profile or manually adjust the manufacturer's rated speed.
It seems there was a misunderstanding. The correct base RAM speed for 2nd Gen Ryzen is different from what you mentioned. Could you clarify the exact model and speed you're considering?
3200. I won’t be increasing the speed of my Ryzen. (As discussed before)
