Hello,
my CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7600X
my RAM: Patriot Viper Venom DDR5 32GB (2 x 16GB) 6000MT/s UDIMM
my motherboard: GIGABYTE B650 Eagle AX Motherboard - AMD Ryzen 9000 Series, 12+2+2 Phase VRM, up to 7600 MHz DDR5 (OC)

my CPU's Max Memory Speed is "DDR5-5200". My RAM is at 4800 by default, out of the box.

I have two questions:

Does this mean that I can 100% safely enable XMP and bump it from 4800 to 5200 and be stable without issues?
Can I/should I try to go beyond 5200?

Thanks.

Zen4 (like the CPU you have) can very much do beyond 5200mt/s

#

you can very easily do 6000mt/s

5200MT/s max without overclocking — 1 dimm per channel
3600MT/s max without overclocking — 2dpc

serene shell Hello, **my CPU:** AMD Ryzen 5 7600X **my RAM:** Patriot Viper Venom DDR5 32GB (...

your ram should be able to go to 6000, cpu should be able to as well

thank you for your responses, this is what the default XMP 1 profile is. So far the system is working well 🙂

#

I did not input any numbers, all I did was change XMP profile from "Disabled" to "XMP 1" and it set everything itself
