Sorry for me English Hi all. Can anyone suggest. Already got the blue screen of wines 10. Everyone looked at the B550 GAMING GEN3 motherboard, 5600g processor, adata d41 spectrix 3200 2x8 memory, are they compatible?

Come on!

The memory you mentioned is not on the compatibility list.
I want people to understand something at once, because it could be causing a lot of unnecessary fear. I still believe that we should always look at the compatibility matrix so there are no errors, and the biggest reason for incompatibility is partly the fault of AMD and memory manufacturers who do not properly respect the JEDEC (regulating and standardizing body of memory specifications).

It does not mean that if the information of a module is not included in the compatibility list, it is incompatible with your mainboard or any other from MSI. Memory may be incompatible if used in more slots. In my case, the old Chinese Corsair worked very well on an X370, but not with the B550. In 2 slots and in 4 they worked fine on the X370. But in the B550, only in 1 slot. It's a real lottery.

ADATA/XPG usually follow standards. Then you will hardly have any problems. It's really trying. If it doesn't work, return it and try to get another one. I like to use the 4 slots because the RGB is more complete and visually more beautiful.

You need to understand that installing in 2 slots, in the correct positions informed, will almost always work. So, if you intend to get a higher ram density, already plan it for 2 slots. For those, like me, who intend to fill all the slots, the maximum is to follow the compatibility matrix recommendations.

Honestly, fuller compatibility was long overdue. Intel does much better in this regard. That's why AMD stipulated its own standard in addition to Intel's XMP. To give greater reliability.

There is another detail that I failed to mention. The memories are not in fact completely incompatible, the ones that present some kind of problem when put in sets of 2 and 4. If configured in the standard speed of communication. Usually 2666MHz or 2333MHz, may regularly work fine. Of course, it's not what we expected, but until the acquisition of new modules, it can be a way out.

So, whenever possible, try to look at the compatibility matrix. About memories outside the matrix, in the end, what we can do is experience it. If it works, great, if it doesn't, return it and try another one.

Maybe, you would have to such the model number.

thanks but the base frequency is also an error. with one module it seems to work fine while it takes time

Hi guys, I am new to the forum and have a question:

I plan to use a MAG B550 Tomahawk board in a music server and hope to use ECC RAM with that.
I have found the list with compatible RAM on the MSI website but ECC is not a variable in that list.

So my question is; how can I find out which ECC RAM to buy to use on the Tomahawk board?
And of course it would be nice to know if the ECC function will actually be working too...

Hope any of you can point me in the right direction...thanks

I have ryzen 5 3600 and 3200mhz 4x8GB CMK16GX4M2B3200C16 (corsair vengeance LPX) on msi b450-A pro max board, everything works fine, I want to upgrade to ryzen 5 5600 or 5800x and on the site it doesn't list them as compatbile with 5000 series or g series, Can you tell me if those rams are compatible with 5000 series and u just forgot to add them to compatibility list?

First page lists 4x1R module 2933MHZ means it should support it up to that speed even if the ram is not listed under compatibility because people tell mobo manufacturers forget to update the list and 90% of rams are compatible with any motherboard?

I honestly can't speak to the ability to even enable ECC on the B550 Tomahawk.
I know that some/most of Asus and Gigabyte boards off ECC on their B550 boards, as long as you have a 5000 series CPU, or certain others depending on which it is......

@Alan J T might have better insight into that than I do.

Looks to me like the 5600 and 5800x are both compatible.....(not that I expected anything different). You'll probably need to upgrade to a newer BIOS though to use them.

RAM compatibility has always been an issue with AMD. I'd just hope you can get 2933 MHz or maybe 3200 MHz and be happy.

The ram will work OK but EEC will be disabled as far as I know

And it just got worse with the new SOC limitations on AM5 you going to be out of luck getting past 6000 on AM5 now
All AM5 DDR5 Ram over 6000 on the QV list has been removed, so ya that's a thing now verified ram is no longer verified. Well done AMD


Ps the cat just was not working for me so it puppy time

It was the best thing that it didn't go to AM5.
High prices, very low energy efficiency and now these problems identified by Gamers Nexus that showed that the platform is a mess.
Again AMD passing their customers off as muggles.

Even thinking about switching to another company, but Intel so far hasn't hit the pointers with a really efficient product.

Hello, everyone. I have a mobo B450 TOMAHAWK MAX, I'm willing to upgrade my RAM form 8GB to 4*32GB (128GB), I'm not interested in speed only stability for my work, can I buy any of 4*32GB module speed and lower it in the BIOS (changed the BIOS to the latest version)?
In my place the required OVL RAM are overpriced... Compared to "standard" RAM module 4*32GB the OVL RAM would be 3-4 the standard price.
I have available 2 AMD CPU : AMD RX-3200G and AMD RX-5700X. I'm using 1SSD 1TB 500/500 R/W and multi-boot "old" Win10Pro /"new" Win11Pro / Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS (planing to use Ubuntu WSL).
Thanks for any Info's You can provide.
