Looking to purchase the Aorus B450 Pro Wi-Fi or MSI B450M Mortar Max tomorrow. Will it handle 3600MHz RAM in its original configuration?

I've got a setup with a 3600X, B450M Mortar Max and 2x8GB 3600MHz RAM working smoothly with XMP. I think you could achieve 3600MHz on the Aorus too (though I’d suggest choosing the Mortar because its VRM is much better). With a Zen 2/3 CPU, you shouldn’t run into problems using 3600MHz, especially with two sticks. The situation changes with a Zen or Zen+ CPU though. You might also want to check a memory kit listed in the motherboard’s memory specifications to be extra sure it will work without issues.

Consider your needs carefully. The MSI Mortar Max fits well with your setup, and the Team Group Excalibur 16GB (2x8GB) at 3600MHz should work nicely for your requirements.

I agree, particularly if you intend to upgrade to a more powerful CPU later. MSI offers multiple TEAMGROUP kits for Matisse boards running Ryzen 3000 processors: https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/...ort-mem-19

You bought 3600 RAM but see only 2400—check your system settings or XMP configuration. Adjust the XMP profile to match the actual amount and try again.
