I'm looking to buy/assemble a new PC. I found some DDR4 3400MHz RAM with very good ratings, however, all the motherboards I can find (which are also suited for the processor I want to run, AMD Ryzen 5 1600), only support up to DDR4 3200MHz.
What happens if I install DDR4 3400MHz (or higher) memory on 3200MHz DDR4 motherboard, will it run at 3200MHz, or simply not work?
Ryzen is very particular about memory compatibility. What is typically true for any other process, can cause problems, with Ryzen configurations. However, without specifics, it will be difficult to answer this question with an actual factual answer. – Ramhound – 2018-03-06T21:04:03.210
Consult the motherboard manufacturers website for memory compatibility. – None – 2018-03-06T21:57:13.080
