Hi there, I'm looking for some guidance. I have a Ryzen 1800X motherboard and plan to switch my CPU from the 1800X to the 5800X. I also want to upgrade my RAM from 16GB at 3200MHz to either 32GB or 3600MHz. When checking the motherboard specs, it says it supports up to 3200MHz RAM. However, I've seen discussions online suggesting that updating the BIOS might unlock the ability to use the 3600MHz RAM. Since this community is really knowledgeable, I thought I'd ask for a clear answer before making a purchase, just in case the 3600MHz RAM doesn't work out. Thanks!

The product page mentions "asus optimem II," a memory overclocking utility, ensuring speeds up to 3600MHz or more. This B550 motherboard is considered one of the stronger options for CPU overclocking.

Yes, you should be able to use it, but make sure your system supports it and meets your requirements.
