Does it make sense to take more than 3200 MHz RAM if the CPU works with frequencies up to 3200 inclusive?

Question

Iron

Mother receives up to 4733 MHz. It turns out at startup, even if my dies have a higher frequency, will it just lock up to 3200?
Or am I not understanding something?

Answer 1

If you look at the QVL of your m/b, you will find that there is a certain amount of memory that is guaranteed to operate at a frequency greater than 3200. You can see it here: QVL It
says Vermeer CPU at the top - this is, for example, Ryzen 9 5950X.
Nothing is "losing" there.
Non-QVL RAM may or may not work with the XMP profile settings. No one can guarantee this. XMP is, after all, already some kind of overclocking.
If you do not want to experiment, but to "insert and forget" - take it from QVL.

Answer 2

by the way look. yes, it will lock on 3200

Answer 3

no = you can’t jump above your head :(
only if you are a rich pinocchio and then you will tell everyone what a cool memory you have :))
and all home coolhackers will envy you))

Answer 4

Well, here are a few options. "Prots supports" - this is the type without overclocking. But! Firstly, your BIOS can be smart enough to read the frequency settings and timings from the memory sticks, write them down, and everything will work. From a formal point of view, this is overclocking, but everything happens by itself. Secondly - your BIOS may have all the settings you need for this, so you go and manually register it. Well, in the worst case, it will work for 3200.
