Corsair Employee Corsair StormShadow Posted January 22, 2020 Corsair Employee Share Posted January 22, 2020 You should buy memory based on what's listed as compatible on your motherboard manufacturer's website. https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/B450M-MORTAR-MAX#support-mem-19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't use 4 of these rams? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exmortis Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 (edited) https://www.corsair.com/ca/en/Categories/Products/Memory/Vengeance-PRO-RGB-Black/p/CMW16GX4M2Z3600C18 Why doesn't it support 4 dimm with my motherboard? I can't use 4 of these rams? Thanks. That would be a question to ask MSI. There are a lot of reasons, from topology of the memory layout to B450 chipset and quality of power delivery phases. It is not a guarantee that a memory config on the QVL will 100% work, but its a good place to start when buying Ram for a board. The QVL is just a place to find what memory in what configuration and sizes the manufacturer has tested and certified working in thier lab (or whom ever they contracted to do the work). You can take a chance and buy them and try, but I would not recommend it. Before I bought my Dominator RGB 4x8GB, I checked my the QVL for my board, and the kit I wanted was on the list. So its a good bet I would have no issues, and I have had none so far. Edited January 31, 2020 by Exmortis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
