ryzen 2700x + ga B450 AORUS M + F4-3200C16D-32GVK

Greetings,

would the combo mentioned in the title work? I'm unable to verify anywhere if the mb supports that memory bug afaik, the vendor don't update the QVL frequently.

Thanks.

Here are the memory kits we recommend for that motherboard:

The RipJaws memory model you mentioned can boot, but may not run at full specification.

I'm looking for 2x16GB which doesn't seems to exists, what can I expect? slower speed?

[GSKILL TECH]

Correct, it is not easy for the platform so it is not listed, however if set to a lower frequency it should work fine. Use the latest BIOS for best results

mmm interesting, this is speed issue or size issue? if it is an speed issue, how other sticks with the same speed which are in the QVL does preform as expected?

It is not an issue per se, each CPU memory controller has it's limits for load. Higher memory capacity, frequency, Voltage, all this will increase load for the CPU until it can no longer be stable with the supplied Voltage. Then if using an motherboard will adjustable options, the user can force more Voltage to see if the CPU can stabilize a higher load. Up to a certain point, the processor will no longer respond to more Voltage and can no longer reach a higher frequency, so this can be considered the maximum result.

thanks for the explanation, so regarding to this mb and cpu in question, every memory stick on the QVL is expected to work in the advertised speed? e.g. for example, this model F4-3200C14D-16GFX which is the first entry in the 3200mhz table, is expected to preform as advertised (3200mhz, cl14) if paired with a ryzen 2700x and ga B450 AORUS M (bios updated to latest)?

[GSKILL TECH]

Correct, most 2700X should be no issue.

[daggs]

Correct, most 2700X should be no issue.

I thought the limitation is the mb, the configurator is for mb, not cpu am i wrong?

[GSKILL TECH]

Configurator is for motherboard and it shows capable so no limitation there. CPU is always the unknown, however most 2700X can handle 3200, so barring any terrible luck, you should have no issue reaching the rated spec.

ok, thanks for the explanation.
