Soor guys new meds have meant concentration is shot so finding it difficult to browse compatibility list.
Looking for 32gb @ 4x 8gb of RAM for MSI B450 Mortar Max mobo.
If it has RGB even better.

Any help really appreciated.

Most ram work regardless of QVL lists and they never test all types .

3200mhz/3600mhz is ideal for b450 depending on cpu but running 4 dimms can sometimes cause problems such as not being able to run at correct speed.

32gb @ 4 x 16... that's 64... if you want 4 x 8 buy 2 x 16 there is more chance of hitting xmp speeds if you want 4 x 16 none will hit xmp its a it's a random rainbow of luck to get over 2666mhz

Year thanks its 32gb I am looking for 4 x 8 gb.
 
Crucial Ballistix 3600mhz CL16 RGB, had 2 kits (4 x 8gb sticks) running on the Mortar Max at 3800mhz CL16 1.45v for ages with no issues, Micron E Die IC's, dead cheap too, Micron UK RMA centre based in Bracknell which is always a plus.
Its still in my system running exactly the same just on a Gigabyte X570S master instead, no need to change it.

Gave that board to my dad and just stuck some Kingston Fury 3600mhz RGB sticks in it, ran perfectly fine too and also dead cheap.

Bought KLEVV CRAS X RGB 16GB (4 x 8GB) DDR4 3200Mhz and all good as far as my limited knowledge goes.
Latency timings are given as 16-16-16-38 yet CPU-Z shows this which to be honest is pretty meaningless.
Oh the BIOS is showing 16-18-18-38?

The Dram frequency will be doubled to give you your ram speed.. so your running at 2666Mhz not 3200mhz.
Your timings are 20, 19, 19, 43.

Your infinity fabric is set to 1:1 that's good but still low at 1333mhz


Go into bios and set xmp.
Find the soc voltage and set 1.1v
Find ram voltage and set 1.4v

Cross everything you have and see if it boots

What does that mean exactly?

If you go into bios. The will be an option that's says XMP. Set it to enabled

At the top of the default bios screen there will be an option to set XMP 1 or 2 just click 1
That will set the ram to its rated speeds on the box..
 
Could not see a XMP setting to set to enabled but U think the A-XMP is the same thing?
Found A-XMP which is set to 1.
Found SOC but thats greyed out
No idea where RAM voltage is.
