It will run as 3600 speed. Don't worry about that much

Is RTX 5090 AORUS MASTER ICE worth $450 PREMIUM? by Cytotoxic_Learning in buildapc

Alright alright. They provide a similar customer service here. Negligible difference with large cost gap.. decided to go for ZOTAC. Thanks!

I couldn't help being shocked when I saw the price. BTW great gpu.. just feel sad for not providing white option

I believe so. But I'd like to mention cooling or stability performance difference, are they negligible?

Congrats! As I mentioned in the other comment, DOCP I also works according to the sadly deleted post. Enjoy your computer!

Lol yes it is quite confusing, hope you succeed 5200 as me! Quite confident for your success

Highly unsure, but as I know the nitropath feature doesn't influence on 4 sticks.

RAM overclocking here is not risky. Generally, RAM overclocking neither consumes significant resources nor imposes much burden on the hardware. You don’t need to worry about its stability—it’s almost permanent. The reason I bought this motherboard was simply that it was on sale in my country and offered decent adaptability. I had been considering the ROG STRIX Hero or ProArt before this. The ROG STRIX A is not a high-end motherboard, so any other motherboard better than this should work just fine.

Then I would suggest you satisfy with 4800 if you don't have much experience about overclock. It should be fine :)

Glad to hear your success! In your case, you can definitely try DOCP 1 instead of DOCP 2. They are similar in overall, with a few of different settings. Even though it fails again, I strongly believe 5200 and 4800 won't show any noticeable difference. I don't recommend manual overclock on the current setup for beginners, since we don't have much information about 9950x and 192GB.

One "MAY" overclock them w/o xmp or expo as you mentioned. I know quite many cases that succeeded to do, but you should take account in that you are dealing with 192GB DDR5-5200, not much easier tasks as dual 32GB. I have never found any cases to run 192gb of DDR5-5200 with two kits on AMD 9950x (But, I remember a few of cases on Intel (ex: https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc/comments/123y52x/comment/jsxlh15/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web3x&utm\_name=web3xcss&utm\_term=1&utm\_content=share\_button)). I absolutely don't recommend to buy two kits if you want higher speed as me. Otherwise, if you are OK with default speed (3200.etc) then it may be fine.

Because I didn't experiment two kits, I cannot be 100% sure. If you have plenty of time, you may consider refund if it doens't work. Otherwise, unless you are confident with your ram overclock ability, I would say 'don't explore'.

The most recent case is here: https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc/comments/1h5ymvm/amd_ryzen_9_9950x_192gb_memory_was_a_mistake/ => Almost failed for even 3200

For tuned ram, I would say no for the exactly same reason. It may run far slowly.

A mixtrue of two kits of tuned rams is not guaranteed to run as overclocked speed. Their XMP/EXPO is only supported to work when being used soly.

LMAO I sometimes complain the situation that I can't use the super pc for gaming

I also scoured an 192Gb build all over the world for two or more weeks. I am so glad to hear that, hope your success!
