Motherboard for 2600X

[OmniDyne]

Do you think a 2600X, coupled with G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 16 GB 3200MHz RAM, would have any issues running in something like a Gigabyte B450M DS3H? The processor is supported by the motherboard.

Nope, wouldn't expect any issues except that I doubt you'll get the ram to run at that speed.

 

[OmniDyne]

Yeah I forgot to look at the RAM support list. Gonna go for a different motherboard or drop RAM speed.

Don't drop RAM speed. Find a board that pushes at the very least 2933, preferably 3200MHz. My board was a first gen cheap X370 board, think it was like 130-140 on release and even it pushes 2933MHz, and would do 3200MHz if I had Samsung B Dies, have Hynix A's.

Will it take some work to hit 3200 or will XMP work? My buddy definitely isn't looking to tweak with any settings beyond basic stuff, which is why we chose the 2600X. We're thinking of pairing with the 1660ti.

I personally haven't touched the 2nd gen chips but even on first gen it was usually just set XMP and run with it. RAM support is supposed to be much better now and imagine you won't get any issue as long as the board says it supports it.

Alright good to hear. Found the ASRock B450 Pro4; it supports 3200 but not the specific RAM I found earlier. I'm assuming that shouldn't be an issue.

Yeah I'd expect you be fine. You'll notice my board only lists 2933+ but I know some people have pulled 3200MHz on Samsung B Dies. I'd guess that has better memory support and the memory controllers in the 2nd gen chips are a lot better than first.

Okay that's what I thought I had read; that Ryzen 2000 had improved memory support.

Thanks for the help!

I got these two to work together without issues. MSI B450 Tomahawk/G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series F4-3200C14D-16GVR, (14-14-14-34), using XMP
