>just noticed that it only supports ram speeds up to 2933

already have 3200 ram waiting for the build, will this be an issue?

it will be underclocked

I'm not a power user by any means so even 2933 will be more than enough

Buyer's remorse.

>10% slower ram
how will he sleep at night

>Buyer's Remorse
>On a true statement
If OP is not a power user then that ram speed will be just fine. In fact, that difference in ram speed is quite small, and even at 3200 you wouldn't notice anything.

there really aren't any better options in stock. not getting an assus

CCX interconnect speed is dependent on RAM frequency.

Same CCX core to core is 40ns, cross CCX is 140ns with 2133mhz RAM. It's around 110ns with 3200mhz RAM. Games are highly cache timing sensitive so it's a good boost in performance.

also, i'm upgrading from a build that uses 400mhz RAM

>doesn't do research
>hey I just noticed this motherboard is gonna limit my ram speed
>will this be an issue?
>yeah it will limit your ram speed
>haha well I'm retarded so no big deal haha should be good

why did you even make this thread? honestly kill yourself dude you are a god damn idiot

Except that every gaming benchmark shows that the difference between the lowest and highest ram clockspeed in any given generation is marginal, and this is a tiny difference in clockspeed.

Idgaf, I just want it to run without issues. I'm not a hardcore gaymer

why wouldn't it run?

You really a think ram can't run at any speed lower than its highest rating?

do you know what ratios are?

is this your first time using a computer, ever?

He probably thought it wouldn't work at all?

> MUH 2 FPS

ryzen mobos seem to be very specific about what RAM they want to work with

2133mhz to 3200mhz can see around a 15% performance improvement on any game with Ryzen

It's not the memory itself, it's how the CCX are dependant on memory frequency.

Had DDR4 ram that wasn't compatible with my z170 motherboard. Fuck my shit up for a while famalam. Couldn't install windows, yet ram was completely fine on memetest. Finally managed to get the thing working by overvolting it. My whole system was unstable for a year until a BIOS update fixed it.

I'd be careful and read the official motherboard compatibility list before buying ram next time senpai.

you want to shill here with your blatant advertisement
i'd like to restate what the other user said, kys your fucking self.

tho the lower bandwidth might give you tighter timings, good luck.

3200—2133=1167
3200—2933=267

If you're new to building these are all reasonable concerns.

I'm happier that OP is concerned and asking questions rather than winging it and breaking something.

I have 2133mhz and 3200mhz numbers, not 2933mhz numbers

Then why are you even replying to thread?

Zen is so fucking flawed.
Needs fast DDR4 to avoid inherent CCX latency
NOT so fast, you can't go above 3,000mhz without crashing

What a shit show
You would think AMD would have figured this out.
It's the furyX all over
Flawed hardware

You are trying too hard.

Relax your concern trolling.

Yup that's why my x370 board supports and is running 3200mhz DDR4

3000mhz minimum. 3200mhz icing on the cake with ryzen.

just make sure its single rank samsung chips. virtually any gskill cas 14 16gb / 32gb (2x8, 4x8, NOT 2X16) kit will be single rank samsung chips.

2x16gb cas 14 gskill will be dual rank samsung. limited to either 2666mhz or 3000+ at stupid levels cas like cas 18.

only reason why 3200 is recommended over 3000 on ryzen is because ryzen doesn't officially have a 3000mhz ratio. only a 2933mhz ratio.... and that and 3200mhz is pretty much that max, and only doable with samsung single rank chips. so 3000mhz kits will run at 2933mnz (29.33 ratio). this isn't bad, only 67mhz difference, but with tight timings, you won't notice anything.

only go 3200mhz if you know for fact its a single rank 2x8gb 16gb samsung chip kit. it won't work otherwise. even if its a 4x8gb 32gb single rank samsung chip kit. ryzen ONLY supports a 2666mhz ratio on 4x8gb single rank and any dual rank kit. which also means 16gb modules used in 2x16gb 32gb kits will NOT run any higher than 2666mhz because ALL 16gb modules are dual rank. unless you do what stated, super high cas latency. like 18-16-16-16-36. at which point cas 18 3200 will be barely faster than cas 14 3000.

you can easily tell which 3000 & 3200 kit is samsung because they will have very low and tight timings. like 14-14-14-14-34. pretty much any gskill 16gb cas 14 3000 and 3200mhz kit will be single rank samsung. cas 16 3400 16gb kit from gskill will be single rank samsung as well.

any cas 15 3000 & 3200 will virtually be shitty hynix. like nearly all overpriced garbage from corsair. i say garbage because corsair charges a premium for their hynix kits. even their dominator kits use hynix, not samsung.

nice meme, give me a source right now that doesn't include only >anus boards or fuck off

OP why didn't you go for this one?

Or this

>The VRM on the motherboard is very strong, after doubling we get 12+4 phases for the core voltage and SOC voltage. The International Rectifier (now Infineon) IR35201 fully digital PWM is being used in 6+2 phase mode instead of 7+1 or 8+0 phase mode. It is one of the best digital PWMs on the market.


Each of its PWM channels is sent to an IR3598, doubler and dual driver chip, which then outputs to two Texas Instruments CSD87350Q5D NexFETs. The NexFETs are rated 25A at 90% efficiency and 40A maximum. The inductors are high-quality 60A parts, and the capacitors are 12K FP Japanese capacitors.

Because some guy was saying RAM makes no difference.

>i know this thing and you dont holy shit kill yourself how couldn't you know this you retard

Boards came to my outskirts of civilization.
All of them are Asus boards, only barely decent one is crosshair for too much.
The suffering.

what god forsaken land do you hail from

For normal usage not much in oc, this good to go ? Aiming b350 but dont know which brand to get. Considering gigabyte/msi/asrock

>implying any board supports 3200mhz at the moment

it will be fixed with a BIOS update eventually, stop being retarded

Neither of these are in stock anywhere
