So, I was never in situation like this before, I always picked every part so it would fit the performances of Motherboard, CPU and RAM...

But this time, every cent is counting... So... Ryzen 5 2600, and on their page, says "System Memory: 2933 MHz, DDR4, 2 slots. And this motherboard that I found, supports 2133/2400/2666/2933/3200 (So no problem with that so far), but my RAM is 8 GB 2666 MHz. Will this work? I looked it up on Part Picker website, it does not show any issues, but I don't trust it as much.

Can anybody with some real experience say if this will work? (Some explanation would be nice too)

Thanks in advance

  • 2 slots are not much, but because the speeds do match, it should work.

  • In theory it should match, but there is never any guarantee. Buy the RAM from a supplier that accepts returns.

It will work: The Ryzen 5 2600 can use DDR4 up to 2933 MHz, and the Mainboard between 2133 and 3200. So your 2666 MHz RAM will run fine (although with less speed than the memory controller can handle).
