    Hi i just asking. Is any motherboard for Ryzen (b350 etc.) will work with ram 2400mhz ? Or i will have to buy 3000mhz. I heard that they had BIOS issue that cannot even start with ram that low speed.(If im asking on wrong forum tell me i really dont Know where to put this)

    Your best bet is to go the the support area for your particular motherboard and see what the manufacture recommends for your memory. 3200 mhz memory is what is recommended for most Ryzen cpu's.
    What are the specs for your board?

    I recently built a pc with a Ryzen 3 220G processor. I did use some GSkill 2400 memory, and I was concerned because it was not listed as compatible for that chipset/cpu. It booted up and did work, but I may have just got some dumb luck with that one. If your building a pc for gaming and or video editing then you'll need that better memory, The pc I built was just for surfing the web, email and watching you tubes. I did read someplace that the AMD cpu's will run better with better memory, that why AMD is so finicky with memory unlike Intel.

    You really ought to check the memory compatibility list for your motherboard, from the boards manufacture web site

    Thank you very much. Yes im going specially in gaming and video editing just litte. But i seen i know about infinity fabric(i guess that how u spell it ) your built with ryzen must have very fast ram cuz he have intergrated graphic card that shares ram i have already graphic card so i think this should be enough.Again thanks.

    I checked the 2200g web page because rumour has it the G's fastest supported speed was 2933 but amd says its 2400. I dont want to pay more to get ram that ryzen doesnt run without overclocking when i can get the slower for cheaper.
