Hi Guys, newbie to PC building (very excited to get my teeth into it as its something i've wanted to do for years but always been reserved) and unsure on a lot of the terminology and compatibility of components.
I've purchased the ASRock B450M PRO4 Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard and AMD Ryzen 5 2600x and intending on purchasing Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x 8GB) 3200MHz DDR4.
However I have been advised on Facebook that some motherboards/CPUS, like the 2600x, that the fastest compatible RAM will be 3000Mhz. Been told to "check my motherboards QVLs" but I don't know what that is nor what I'm looking for.
Can anyone shed some light on this before I purchase so I don't get the wrong parts.
Thanks in advance.
