Hello, the OC beside memory speed options means overclocking. It doesn’t necessarily require you to overclock RAM to 3200mhz for it to run at that frequency. Instead, it indicates the motherboard supports 3200mhz and can handle overclocking of RAM to that speed. Please let me know.
Yes, you'll need to increase the RAM speed. Anything above DDR4-2133/2400MHz requires an overclock. You can adjust the settings in BIOS (motherboard) manually by changing timings, frequency, and voltage. After rebooting, these changes will apply. The board can handle RAM that exceeds JEDEC specifications. It's recommended to upgrade your motherboard BIOS with a single stick of RAM first. Once that's done, switch to dual channel with two sticks and fine-tune the settings in BIOS. So, if you purchase a 2x8GB DDR4 3200, it should operate at 3200MHz, correct? Your likelihood of success improves significantly with the latest BIOS updates, though 3200 remains an overclock for both RAM types.
Yes, you'll need to boost the RAM speed. Anything above DDR4-2133/2400MHz qualifies as an overclock. You can adjust the settings in BIOS (motherboard) by entering the timings, frequency, and voltage for your RAM. After restarting, the changes will apply.
The board is compatible with RAM that exceeds JEDEC specifications.
It's recommended to upgrade your motherboard BIOS with a single RAM stick first. Once that's complete, switch to dual-channel mode using two sticks, then manually update the BIOS settings.
Yes, you'll need to overclock the RAM. Anything above DDR4-2133/2400MHz requires an overclock. You can adjust the settings in BIOS (motherboard) manually by entering the timings, frequency, and voltage for your RAM. After rebooting, the changes will take effect. The board can handle RAM that exceeds JEDEC specifications. I recommend updating your motherboard BIOS with one stick of RAM first. Once that's done, switch to dual channel with two sticks and manually set the values in BIOS. So if you purchase a 2x8GB DDR4 3200, it should operate at 3200MHz, correct?
Yes, you'll need to boost the RAM speed. Anything above DDR4-2133/2400MHz is considered an overclock. You can adjust the settings in BIOS (motherboard) by manually setting timings, frequency, and voltage. After restarting, these changes will apply. The board can handle RAM that exceeds JEDEC specifications. It's recommended to upgrade your motherboard BIOS with a single stick of RAM. Once updated, switch to dual channel with two sticks and fine-tune the settings in BIOS. For a 2x8GB DDR4 3200 MHz RAM, it should operate at that speed. Success depends on your processor being capable too. The latest Tomahawk BIOS offers more timing options to achieve this. Many users report better results by using these adjustments. All the 3200 references in the package mean the selected RAM chips meet optimal performance standards for testing. I wouldn't purchase a 3200 DIMM kit unless my supplier would refund or exchange it if it doesn't function properly on my system.
Drea.drechsler would suggest increasing the RAM speed. Anything above DDR4-2133/2400MHz is considered an overclock. You can adjust BIOS settings in the motherboard to change timings, frequency, and voltage. After rebooting, these changes should take effect. The board can handle RAM that exceeds JEDEC specifications. It’s recommended to upgrade the motherboard BIOS with a single stick of RAM first. Once that’s done, switch to dual channel with two sticks and manually set the values in BIOS. For a 2x8GB DDR4 3200 MHz RAM, it should run at that speed after installation. Your chances of success improve with the latest BIOS updates. However, keep in mind that running at 3200 is an overclock for both RAM and processor, so your CPU must support it. The newest Tomahawk BIOS offers more timing options to help achieve this. Many users report better results by using some of these adjustments. All the 3200 mentioned on the package refers to DIMM MFR chips designed for optimal performance. I wouldn’t purchase a 3200 DIMM kit unless my supplier would refund or exchange it if it doesn’t work in my system.
Eventually you swapped the RAM and CPU frequency settings. The default is a 3200MHz CPU and 2400MHz RAM, but for this CPU a 3200MHz RAM kit will be overclocked. The compatibility list confirms it, stating that MSI tested the chosen RAM at 3200MHz: https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/...ort-mem-12

You're correct, 2666MHz is the standard RAM speed for single-rank modules, while dual-rank modules typically operate at 2400MHz.
