How is it slow compared to other ram?
 
Well i searched it and it said that my cpu only supported 3200 if it was oc I also saw people say that speeds don't make a double digit frame diffrence so is it that big of a deal?

it says on the website
  • Supports DDR4 3200+ (OC) (Ryzen CPU) / 2400 (A-series APU)

like kapone said why get slower ram if ya can get faster for 1 dollar less?

look at this website and look at the ram speeds and thats why http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/AB350 Pro4/#Specification

All you have to do is hit delete during boot. Go into the BIOS advanced tab find memory OC and apply XMP.

no it says that 3200 is only supported if its overclocked and it would come default 3200 which means it's not overclocked

??????? your confusing me ik what xmp is i have done that stuff before but still it's default 3200
 
I see, Asrock has no specific memory QVL for this motherboard with your CPU.
yea but i searched it and it said summit ridge supported up to 2666
 
Your cpu & board will run DDR4-3200 without issue, it simply involves selecting 3200 in the bios and setting the timings and voltage accordingly. All of which X.M.P. will do for you.

ok but i'm not worried about that if i wanted to i could just oc my ram

If the RAM is rated at 3200 MHZ enabling the XMP does not OC the RAM it just runs it at it's base rated speed. Setting the XMP does not mean you have to OC your CPU either. They put that as OC to cover themselves. The base clock of Ryzen first gen boards is 2133 if I am not mistaken. I have that board in my lab and it works all the way up to 3600 as long as you keep the BIOS updated.
 
Both Intel and AMD will only list JEDEC specs as being supported. However that CPU and board will run frequencies much higher than 2666.

If you get that 2666 kit chances are it wont reach 3200, if you can buy faster memory there is simply no reason not to. I don't know why you insist on getting something inferior. All combinations should be capable of reaching JEDEC specs anyway.

With an updated BIOS this board supports 3733 as OC.

dude you don't understand what i'm trying to say but anyway i searched it up and my cpu only supports 2666 thats what the internet said not me.

well a max of 2666 i guess it could go higher if its overclocked but otherwise no

I think i been updated the bios but that caused problems that i'm not tryna deal with again
 
Yea the b450 Pro 4 will run ddr4 3000/3200 kits np as long as they're not corsair lpx which hates ryzen lol and the board will support 3733 though a first gen ryzen will not, 3200/3333/3400 is the maximum you'll get out first gen, suggest 3200 for the least amount of issues and tweaking to get stable

I understand but again!!!! I searched it up IT SAID my cpu only max supported 2666

i think i could overclock to reach higher but base speed is a max of 2666

its the ab350pro4 but can you send me a website or something that says they support 3200 cause amd doesn't say and when i searched it up it said a max of 2666

If you are worried just get the 2666 set and be happy. I know what the CPU says but I cannot see how that RAM will not work but regardless it will run at 2133 unless you enable XMP on the 2666 set anyway.

why are we even arguing over speed it doesn't make a big difference it makes like a couple of frames difference

yea my current ram ran at 2133 im aware of that.

On Intel maybe. There is something called the infinity fabric on Ryzen CPUs and that directly interfaces with your RAM. I guarantee that a Ryzen CPU running 3200 16 timings will feel much snappier than 2666 18.
