s about Asrock Ab350m
Hello, your girlfriend has a 2600x motherboard with an ASRock A350M and you're looking to upgrade. You mentioned having an i7-2600K @4.7 GHz and a GTX 1070. I need to check if this setup can work on the A350M. For RAM, the maximum should be around 8GB DDR4, but it depends on the specific model. The ASRock A350M supports up to 16GB DDR4 in some configurations. As for the GPU, a Wraith Prism from your 3700X would work fine. Regarding memory, stick with 8GB or more if possible. For RAM speed, Crucial Ballistix 3200MHz is a solid choice and should be compatible. You’re close to E-value limits, but ensure the motherboard supports DDR4-3200.
The board's documentation states a maximum of 3200, possibly an outdated specification; it might support higher speeds, but only practical testing confirms this. Exceeding 2933 is technically risky with the current setup, though it shouldn't be impossible to achieve. You can adjust the settings manually—timings and frequencies will vary—and actual performance must be verified through experimentation.
