AMD Ryzen Supported?

AMD Ryzen processor support

Throughout this review, we have tested on an Intel platform. That's what this kit is designed for, but I just know I'd get the question, will these DIMMs work on AMD Ryzen.

The answer is yes, of course, you need the latest AMD Firmware update for your motherboard. We tested on an ASUS X470 motherboard. After inserted all DIMMs, the motherboard immediately recognized the 3000 MHz frequency, however, the software reports CL 18-19-19-38 timings back, the command rate was a good CR1 though. In the BIOS the settings are verified as advertised at CL17, so that was a bit of an oddity.

So this merely was enabling XMP (or whatever it's called in your motherboard BIOS), and after your saved the setting and a reboot, our Ryzen 5 2600X booted absolutely stable into windows with two and/or four DIMMs installed.

3000 MHz

3000 MHz works by just enabling XMP. This is with four DIMMs installed, by the way, so Dual-channel / Dual Rank. Not bad but the times could be better.

3333 MHz 


Cl14-17

Ad if you like to go a little sharper, 3200 MHz CL14-17-17-37-CR1 worked as well.

And yeah, it tweaks as well. Leave XMP enabled, set the memory frequency towards 3333 MHz, and you'll boot into windows totally stable, which is lovely value and a nice equilibrium with gaming as well. Hey 69ns with four DIMMs, I can live with that. 3200 MHz CL14-17-17-37-CR1 worked as well (Performed on the ASUS Crosshair VII Hero). CL14-16-16-36-CR1, however, did not post.
