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 AGESA Firmware update for your motherboard. We tested on the ASRock X470 Tachi motherboard. After inserted all four DIMMs, the motherboard immediately recognized the 2666 MHz frequency and CL16 timings, at a nice 1T command rate as well.

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 7 2700X booted absolutely stable into windows with four DIMMs installed.

Value for money - 2666 MHz works by just enabling XMP. This is with four DIMMs installed, by the way, so Dual-channel / Dual Rank.

And yeah, it tweaks as well. Leave XMP enabled, increase DRAM Voltage towards 1.35v, set the memory frequency towards 3066 MHz, and you'll boot into windows totally stable at 3066 Mhz, which is lovely value and a nice equilibrium with gaming as well. Much like on the Intel platform, we, however, could not get 3200 MHz stable at CL16 / CR1. Lowering timings would likely get us there though. But yeah, again .. tweak a little and this 2666 MHz rated memory runs close to 3100 MHz on Ryzen.
