Hey! The MSI MAG Z790 TOMAHAWK supports up to 6600MHz with DDR4-3200, but the manual mentions 1DPC 2R which typically refers to dual-channel 16GB RAM. Make sure your Corsair Vengeance RGB 32GB is rated for that speed and channel configuration.
1DPC refers to one Dimm (Ram module) per channel. 1R indicates single-rank, 2R means dual-rank. DDR5 struggles to achieve higher speeds when using four sticks installed, so it's advised to use two sticks for better performance—this is why manufacturers began producing 24GB and 48GB sticks. To maintain high speeds while still achieving good capacity, you can opt for higher GB counts. Regarding your query: Yes, Corsair Vengeance RGB 32GB RAM at 6000MHz will function on the motherboard. You can choose 2x16GB instead of 4x8GB or 2x32GB instead of 4x16GB.
DPC stands for DIMM, and 2R indicates dual-rank modules. If your system uses a 2R kit, checking the motherboard specifications will confirm compatibility, even though it might not be officially supported. DDR5 at 6000MHz generally works well with most modern hardware.
Achieving 6000MHz with four RAM modules can be challenging, especially with DDR5. DDR5 has different requirements and supports quad-channel configurations. That’s why many DDR5 motherboards indicate that two sticks aren’t compatible (four sticks) because of issues with the memory controller.
