New AMD Threadripper build - Ram Question

Hey guys, I am hoping someone can help me out here.

I am currently awaiting the last parts of my Threadripper build to get here. I am curious about the new ram I just reprieved today, and I am wondering if it will make a huge difference if it is no longer on my new board's support list.

I know in most cases Ram on a support list doesn't mean much, as most ram will work without a hiccup as long as it's the right type. I am using a Gigabyte Aorus x399 gaming 7 motherboard for this build, and on Gigabyte's site they have supported ram at the following:

DDR4 3600+(O.C.)/ 3466(O.C.)/ 3333(O.C.)/ 3200(O.C.)/ 2933(O.C.)/ 2667/ 2400/ 2133

Here is the motherboard specification page:
https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/X399-AORUS-Gaming-7-rev-10#sp

I went to the support list page for that board and went through the ram support list. I specifically copied and pasted the model number for a 32gig G. Skill ram kit from that list, and punched it into newegg.com, and placed an order for it. Here is the kit:

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod..._re=F4-3200C16Q-32GTZR-_-20-232-482-_-Product

I noticed yesterday when I was poking around online that Gigabyte took down the memory support link off their page. I thought that was kind of odd. So this morning, the ram kit gets delivered, and I decided to go back to the site and see if the list was there today. It was., so I downloaded it, and my kit along with a few others I looked up are no longer on the support list.

The motherboard spec page again says it supports DDR4 3600+(O.C.)/ 3466(O.C.)/ 3333(O.C.)/ 3200(O.C.)/ 2933(O.C.)/ 2667/ 2400/ 2133. The kit I got today is DDR4 3200 (PC4 256000). Is this going to be an issue? I am some what new to DDR4 ram. I usually just pick a kit of the support list and run with it, but now that I am seeing different numbers for my new setup, I want to know a little more about this and if this is going to be an issue. I have not overclocked any ram or CPU before, but apparently my new board supports XMP. I read enough about XMP for my current build to turn it on, but I am still unsure on how it works, and I am looking to learn as much as I can. I have been doing google searches and videos on YT, but I am lost as if this current kit that is no longer on the support list is going to work.

Thanks in advance for any help!

 

Just enable XMP in bios and you should be good to go with that speed Ram.
If you don't, then only 2667/ 2400/ 2133 speed Ram will work.
That's how I am reading it.
The Ram your buying would have to have an XMP Profile as well.
Then make sure your new Ram is reaching it's advertised speeds with a program like hwmonitor.

I have hardware monitor already, so that'll help. Thanks for the reply, as always Dougie. Hopefully I don't have at issues. I'm not sure if that team has an xmp profile or not. All it says on the box is Intel ready?

 

This Ram has full XMP 2.0 Profile Support, so I can't see any problems.

 

Thanks again Dougie. I got confused over this, because on another forum I was told XMP only works on Intel processors, but that didn't make any since to me because my motherboard is an AMD board that offers XMP in the BIOS. I have tried looking up info on the topic, but with Threadripper still being new, I couldn't find much.

 

I can't see how this Ram's XMP Profile, would not work with AMD, if your motherboard, as you say offers XMP in the Bios. Means your Motherboard has the ability to read XMP Profiles.
As you know,not all AMD motherboard Bios's offer XMP.
I think your pretty safe to purchase this Ram.
This is all a learning curve, because all the desired information is not readily available yet.
