What's the motherboard if I may ask?

[frigid sparrow]

B650 aorus elite ax ice

I’d recommend it. It has good io and a lot of fan headers and usb headers. Max ram speed is only 6000 tho

[oak kernel]

Wait, only 6000? You sure? I was looking at this motherboard for a while but unsure what ram to get

[frigid sparrow]

6000 is standard I wouldn’t worry about it too much lol. Higher clocked ram with still work if you already have it

[frigid sparrow]

It’s a good mobo and good value imo

I was thinking of the Corsair 6200mhz 2x16. Some people said on Reddit that they had issues with the motherboard

And rams

[frigid sparrow]

Any DDR5 kit can work in any ddr5 mobo

The speeds will be at most whatever the least speed fast one is

Ie 6000mt/s mobo and 7200 ram will run at most 6000mt/s

How was bios tho? Is it difficult to read?

So I should be fine with a 6200mhz

[frigid sparrow]

Bios is good think :3

If you already have it then yea but if there is a better deal for cheaper at 6000 I would go with that

[oak kernel]

I looked at the qvl list and saw the 6200mhz version on that and not the 6000mhz otherwise I would've choosen the 6000 idk if I read it wrong or something

[frigid sparrow]

QVL?

[oak kernel]

Qualified vendor list, it's a list for the motherboard that shows which components work with the motherboard

The link to it is on the motherboards site

[frigid sparrow]

Yea I wouldn’t worry about the list honestly. Anything that uses the DDR5 standard will work

[oak kernel]

Thanks I'm so stressed about the whole process of upgrading

[frigid sparrow]

I can help you out if you’d like to talk more about it dms

I actually designed a build for someone earlier today lol

[oak kernel]

Sure thing! It would be nice to get some worries off my chest about all this
