32GB Ram for Ryzen 5 2600?

Community General Discussion

Hi folks,

Do you think my CPU will be OK to install the below?

■ x2 16GB DDR4 Ram @ 3200MHz, each is 1.35V.
(Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4 3200 MHz C16 XMP 2.0)

■ I read that ram voltage of 1.35 is OK for this cpu - but - installing x2 of these mean 2.7v? Or Not?

Worried this will wear out my cpu too fast, of not blow it up!

(MSI X370 Carbon Gaming Pro; upgraded gamer powersupply Corsair CX650 650W)

Thanks!

The DDR4 standard accepts voltages from 1.2V to 1.4V. The Ryzen 5 2600 officially supports DDR4, so it is compatible.

You probably won’t gain much by it, since the official specs for your CPU set its limit to 2933 MHz.

So if you’re asking this because you want to overclock your RAM as advertised on your Motherboard: don’t. The RAM modules are already 10% faster than your CPU can handle by default. :slight_smile:

The X370 Motherboard has completely separate circuits for the RAM though. So no matter what you do, the worst-case is that you fry the RAM modules, the CPU is save. :slight_smile:
