AMD Ryzen Supported?

AMD Ryzen processor support

Throughout this review, we have tested on an Intel platform. That's what this kit is designed for, but I just know I'd get the question, will these DIMMs work on AMD Ryzen. Well yeah, dude XMP based 3600 MHz CL16 even. We merely selected the XMP profile and nothing else.

Please be sure you install the latest AMD AGESA Firmware update for the motherboard. We tested on the Crosshair VII Hero ASUS  motherboard. After inserting two DIMMs the motherboard booted at 2133 MHz. Then in the BIOS enabling XMP/BEMP we selected the 3600 MHz frequency.

3600 MHz CL16-18-18-36 at a 1T Command rate

So yes, 3600 MHz is a _very proper_ clock frequency for anything with Ryzen series 1000/2000/Threadripper right now. That said, that doesn't mean it'll work on any system. If so, I would recommend dropping back to something in the 3466 MHz range as the next best step (which is also really good of course). At all times make sure you are running the latest motherboard BIOS, the latest AGESA firmware is essential.
