I overlooked buying RAM before getting the motherboard. Checking the specs for RAM on the MSI X470 gaming pro carbon reveals up to 3200 MHz for the GSKILL Trident series. I bought a 3600 2x8GB kit and am curious—will it still fit or could there be any issues?
It should function, though the frequency might vary depending on the CPU.
The Ryzen 5 3600 and Ryzen 7 3700X are different chips, so the 7 3700X wouldn't work directly on the 5 3600. You'd need a compatible motherboard and possibly a new CPU socket.
The Ryzen third generation performs well with RAM overclocking. I believe you won’t face any problems—just open the BIOS, turn on D.O.C.P or XMP settings, and everything should work.
The model number of the kit you purchased is F4-3200C16D-16GTZR-G.
