Can I Use INTEL RAM on AN AMD Motherboard

Can I Use INTEL RAM on AN AMD Motherboard
A lot of people keep asking this question on whether AMD expo ram can be used on Intel XMP 3.0 motherboard or Intel XMP 3.0 ram on AMD Expo Motherboard?

Yeah memory compatibility is something that needs a little more research than we are used to with ddr4

[rickss]

Yes...there is no guarantee any memory will work with anything at any speed as it's all dependent on the cpu and motherboard.

[rogerbowen]

QVL's can be a bit of a minefield when you're in the UK. When I was looking for my last DDR4 kit, I looked at the QVL list for the board and finding makes that UK retailers had in stock was a nightmare. We can't just pop down to our local Micro Center and pick it off the shelf like they can in the US. I managed to find some in the end, but boy was it a task!

Yes Brian as I mentioned in someone else's comment I always researched the specs of the memory I was fitting with the board, CPU etc specs. I mean that if you do not then you only have yourself to blame when you come to setting the memory speeds for example. Having said that I have never really found much difference when setting the memory speeds in my admittedly older Ivy Bridge build.

[MRGBZ]

I've read multiple sources claiming that as long as it's SK Hynix, it doesn't matter if it's XMP or EXPO. It (the RAM) will work at the advertised speeds with little effort in tweaking in the BIOS.

I think theres some duff information in this video. You do not need to look for XMP RAM for Intel systems and you dont need to look for Expo RAM for AMD systems either.

Expo works on Intel platforms and XMP works on AMD platforms. I use Expo settings on my 12th Gen Intel rig. As soon as you put an Expo kit into the board Expo shows up where the XMP settings would be.

If you look at MSI's Intel motherboard QVL lists for DDR5 they approve plenty of Expo RAM for Intel systems.

Nobody seems to be aware that both Expo and XMP are enabled on both platforms and have been since the vendors added both types of settings to all of their motherboards.

So if i have a tridentZ DDR5 at 5600mhz can i use it on a MSI B650 TOMAHAWK WIFI? HELP ME

[mat]

Hello, i've bought a new PC with ddr5 6000mhz for intel however my MB and cpu are AMD. I can OC though DOCP but i get random crash on games after that.
What do you recommand to make the ram still work with OC.
Should i decrease voltage ? Ram speed ?

[djchristian]

That's all that's buggering me! When I am looking to buy a pair of memory sticks nowadays it says either AMD or XMP. This must be a new thing because it wasn't like this before.

[R-Blizzy]

I've been having a nightmare after upgrading to amd. Bought some tforce delta xmp ram within fours days my pc started playing up and i figured it out to be one of the ram sticks stopped working. Bought some corsair dominator platinum. Fours days later and my pc started to blue screen and the bios rest its self. Cpu light came up on the motherboard resealed it, then the vag light came on. I took the gpu out and put it back in again then it started work alright. I swear its the xmp ram messing with my system. I havent put the xmp profile on and will see what happens if not im gonna try out some expo ram. Im not a pc wizard so all of it confusions the hell out of me lol

[nicolascooper]

yes u can i have for 1 year XMP DDR5 on my Asus MB AM5 X670E, and it s works very well. only DD AMD expo 2 profil has provide more performance. AMD expo 1 are under DDR5 XMP without overclock profile. DD5 vengeance XMP on x670E.

[OlettaLiano]

I've never bothered to look at the QVL lists, and I never used pre-set memory profiles. I've always manually configured my ram. RAM speed is not really all that important for gaming. The higher the speed, the higher the latency. Thus 8000 mt/s DDR5 RAM will only be a few FPS faster then 6000 mt/s RAM, so save your money and don't bother with the fastest RAM.

[sebblan]

I use a AMD platform with Intel recommended ram, It all works fine with the XMP profile. It is just a preset . It is important to use the right ram for the right motherboard tho. The xmp profiles does not matter.

[zima]

If i bought an intel ram that is within an AMD motherboard specification will that be problematic ?

[welshtony]

I tend just to find ram that looks decent then look to see if its on the compatibility list lol

[manti]

The compatibility headaches of motherboards...I'm glad I left the world of PC building years back and just stick with laptops these days.

[TG-GZ]

Bought a 6400 2x32gb ram on my first am5 build. Was "xmp optimized". Not in the compatible list for the mobo too lol. Just oced it manually fine. They are adding more dumb shit. At least it was $20 cheap than then expo counterpart. lol

[Gotcha-san]

816k subs and only 7k views? yeah..

About the video itself, non-sense.
XMPs and EXPOs are nothing else than a confirmed preset.

You can run both XMPs and EXPO rams at all times everywhere, but you won't be able to use a preset of XMP/EXPO everwhere. That means, that if you if are on AMD platform and you select XMP you may encounter crashes due to instability of selected parameters - and that means that you will need to manually tweak. Thats all that there is too it.

Want to know if you will have issues with specific RAM on your MB? Google it and look for reviews.
All RAMs work on all platforms (check only max supported clocks on your MB/CPU), pre-configed presets by manufacturer is a different story.

Intel RAM is ok on AMD motherboard but LINUX RAM on Windows is not ;)
