I have a setup project that basically involves the following configuration, for which I have no intention of using overclocking, at least for now. My vision for upgrading this setup, once assembled, is to ensure longevity and that future updates will be: gradually increasing the RAM (from 16 to 32 and from 32 to 64), replacing the air cooler with a water cooler, adding a video card and, if necessary, replacing the power supply with a 750W one
a. Gigabyte B650M-DS3H motherboard with support for up to 128 GB of RAM
b. AMD Ryzen 5 7600X processor
c. 2 x 8 GB Kingston 5200 MHz KF552C40BB-8 RAM modules (for a total of 16 GB)
d. Rise Mode G700 air cooler (RM-AC-O7-FB)
e. Kingston SNV2S/1000G SSD
f. Duex DX 600FSE++ 600W Power Supply
On the AMD website, information regarding processor connectivity is provided as follows:
In the Maximum memory speed topic
2x1R DDR5-5200
2x2R DDR5-5200
4x1R DDR5-3600
4x2R DDR5-3600
And in the Maximum memory topic: 128 GB
CONCLUSIONS:
Based on this information, I understand that (please correct me if this is the case) I am facing a physical limitation. Since there are no modules on the market (at least I haven't found any) with a capacity greater than 32 GB with a frequency of 5200 MHz, and although both the motherboard and the processor support up to 128 GB of memory, the maximum amount of installed RAM that this setup will allow me to have, running at 5200 MHz and without using overclocking, is 64 GB (2 modules of 32 GB each).
QUESTIONS:
First question:
Am I correct in my conclusions above?
Second question:
Assuming that I am correct in my conclusions and that, for whatever reason, I want to break this physical barrier and reach 128 GB of installed RAM, how do I proceed so that there is no drop from 5200 MHz to 3600 MHz?
Third question:
If the answer to the second question is the use of overclocking, what alternatives do I have in terms of the setup I defined above? In other words: how do I overclock with the setup above? Can I overclock with 5200 MHz memories, or do I have to buy, for example, 4 32 GB memory modules running at, like, 5600 MHz/6000 MHz so that I can overclock?
