Updated Model - Enhanced Memory Capabilities
Hello, your setup includes an AMD Ryzen 5 3600X with a 3.8 GHz clock speed and 6 cores. The motherboard you're using is the ASRock B450 Steel Legend ATX AM4. Regarding RAM, it supports up to 3200 MHz, so 3600 MHz should work fine. Matisse processors can handle higher speeds too. You’re all set!
You may need to upgrade to a newer BIOS to achieve these 3600MHz speeds on your RAM. Using xmp can help retrieve the listed timings, but stability at that frequency could be limited, possibly capping performance around 3200–3400MHz.
Be ready in case stability drops below 3200MHz, but 3600MHz should work fine for most games right now.
Thanks for letting me know, I believe going to 3200 makes more sense.
You can always opt for the B450 Tomahawk Max, which handles 3600MHz RAM and offers stability as a versatile full-featured motherboard.
Stick with the motherboard and opt for 3200MHz RAM. Use XMP to achieve around 3000MHz, which will help reach the advertised speeds. For a 3600MHz RAM, choose an X570 motherboard—it should support that speed and provide stability for your requirements.
X570 is likely better with an Asus or Gigabyte motherboard, though it may cost more. It can support 3600MHz or faster RAM, but if budget is a concern, a B450 Tomohawk works too—it still gives you 3600MHz and higher for overclocking. For most games today, either 3200MHz or 3600MHz are enough.
