Speed
3600 MT/s — this kit2133JEDEC4533Board max
- Out of the box: 2133 MT/s. Every kit starts at a safe default speed. Turn on XMP in the BIOS to run it at 3600 MT/s. If Task Manager shows 2133, that's why.
- Intel profile on an AMD board. Most AMD boards can load XMP profiles. It usually works, but EXPO kits are the ones tested for AMD.
- Above the CPU's official speed. Ryzen 5000 officially supports 3200 MT/s. Running faster is an overclock through XMP; most CPUs handle it, but it isn't guaranteed.
- Use slots A2 and B2. The second and fourth slots from the CPU. Two sticks in the wrong pair may not reach full speed.
