Getting up to 2933MHz on an AMD-2200G - Does dual-channel matter?

[whm1974]

Deleted the rest of the post for emphasis.
On gigabyte boards with F22b BIOS, a 2200G can drive SK Hynix RAM 3200 16-18-18-38 runs at the full speed without even a flinch.
I have 3 machines at home running that way

That is nice to know. but I if was getting the 2200G, it would be for my dad and I would also choose DDR4-2666 for that system due to stability reasons. For myself however then yes I'll get 3200 memory to be used with a higher end CPU.

I have an MSI B350 motherboard. The latest bios update made my xmp profiles all to run at rated speeds. I my case 3200mhz. Regardless of what speed memory you choose. The faster the memory the better AMD Ryzen performance. With intel chips it doesn't seem to matter much what speed ram you use.

I don't need to. I was commenting on the one comment I quoted. The proper memory on the proper bios will almost always work as advertised. I only say almost, since there are always exceptions, but a lottery ? That is so far off the truth, its almost trolling. And you already got corrected on your memory being on the QVL. Give it up before you embarrass yourself anymore.

Actually, if you had read the entire thread you would realize that my technical level of knowledge regarding these matters is nowhere near most people's in here and you could have made the claim that I'm simply uneducated. Instead, you chose the more aggressive path and attacked me personally by calling me a troll. You have to know someone's intent to make that accusation. I'm not sure how you figured it out from reading 1 post. Your replies come off very condescending and confrontational as though this were a game for you. Everyone else in this thread has responded strongly against me but have treated me civilly in doing so. Except you.

Yes, Any samsung b-die 3200 memory with any QUALITY motherboard and the latest bios. and you have a good chance of of hitting 3200.

Now, thats with Ryzen 1700/1700x/1800x. With the 2200G, it may be different, ask @VirtualLarry. Due to the integrated video, it may be lower.

From Larrys post on his 2400G: "Edit: Ok, with 2x8GB DDR4-3000 RAM, which the mobo claimed was actually running at 3000, and not at 2933".

Close enough ?

You won't find anywhere on the packaging of most memory kits specifications like "b-die" or "single rank/dual rank". These are things you have to know in advance by having more experience which I'm just now learning. That's why I made the comment about the purchasing of memory kits being like a lottery. But that's just an opinion of mine I was expressing as an inexperienced memory buyer.

Well, from this reply, its obvious that you have a lot of reading to do. All of this information is in this forum, but you have to READ it to be educated on these matters. Most people assume that you read up on things before you buy them, at least thats what educated people do.

You need to research more before stating opinions based on NOTHING.

You might want to check that QVL list again. The only DDR4-3000 listed is a 2x4GB kit of PV48G300C6K (14M1) on the Asrock AB350M Pro4.

Note the additional "RR" at the end of the URL for the Raven Ridge compatibility list. Unless I'm missing something, then I apologize.

My mistake. In that case, I'd contact Asrock about an RMA.

Come to think, it would really depend on cost which speed I would get for my dad. However I was thinking of something like this:

Perhaps replace the HDD with an SDD as that would give him the most performance.
