It doesn't make sense to use a 3600MHz setup with an Intel CPU that's locked at 2133MHz.

It seems the CPU bottleneck was already discussed. I'm checking if it will function properly without issues.

yes, they should work without issue. You have like a .0000001% chance of them not working on an intel system.

I understand you need to clarify some points about the essay. It seems there were concerns about CPU bottlenecks and compatibility with BIOS settings. I’ll keep the discussion focused on those issues. Also, I’ll leave the thread open for a bit to gather more feedback.

They’re correct about the CPU limiting how fast we can use this RAM beyond 2133 MHz, but this is the standard JDEC specification Intel follows—it should function. The label claiming it’s optimized for AMD is mostly misleading marketing. It appears only there because early Ryzen models were quite sensitive to RAM kits, and that issue has mostly been fixed now.

I think there is more than 1% truth in it. While I'm not the type to tune every ram parameter by hand, there were differences in optimal settings between Sky/Kaby-lake compared to Coffee Lake. I wouldn't be surprised if similar applies to AMD too. I wouldn't see running at 3600, even at slack timings, as a walk in the park. What's best for AMD might not be best for Intel.

I understand your point, but I believe "optimize" is often just marketing language, similar to what Skiiwee29 has said. In reality, the motherboard tends to be the bigger issue rather than the processor when RAM compatibility problems arise.
