im looking at dropping in a 5600 or 5700x into my system soon and i was wanting to know what ram speeds they can run @ XMP.

Right now i have 2 x 8gb Corsair RGB Pro 3600Mhz the ram is overclocked but i just want to know what the new chips are run guaranteed(LOLz) or do i just stick with my current ram.
 
You'd want to run the ram at 1:1 with the infinity fabric.
Ryzen 3000/5000 IMC will handle 3200 no issues, a large proportion will handle 3600. Only some can do >3600 with or without some sort of tweaking.

yer my 3600 just set up 1:1 at 3600Mhz without having to change anything. i didnt know if you new 5XXX's could handle more without messing
My OC is timings not speed.

literally the info i was wanting


thanks you two
 
5xxx Ryzen cpus do tend to have better ram compatibility that previous Ryzens. Ive not seem any that won't do 1800mhz FCLK. a lot will do 1900mhz FCLK and some even 2000mhz. Thing is 3600mhz is the sweet spot so going above that becomes expensive for little gain. I can run my ram at either 3600mhz or 3800mhz with the same timings, just increased volts. Though when it comes to gaming and general system use I didn't noticed any difference at all so choose to run at 3600mhz with lower volts.

Personally I would stick with the RAM that you have and see if you are able to tighten the timings when you put a new Ryzen in.
 
3600 you already use is good. Not sure the timings for your kit.
Used 3200 CL14 8Pack for quite some time, since launch of Ryzen 1600x and never had any issue. B-die Samsung where a safer bet during 1000 series. 2000 series improved compatibility, 3000 even better. 5000 series allowed faster RAM without much lottery.
Sure getting a faster RAM and lower timings would net you higher benchmark scores, but 3600MHz, unless the timings are horrible, is very good. No point changing it.
