I have just bought a new Ryzen 3700x and ROG strix B450-F Gaming MB along with 32 GB of corsair DDR4 RAM @ 3600Mhz (4 sticks). Then as I was reading the MB info it says its only rated at 3200Mhz. Will it still work and if so will it be limited to 3200Mhz. Also I looked on the box of the RAM (corsair vengeance LPX) and it has a two little pictures of intel CPU's which it says it supports. Does that mean it only works on those, should I return them and get AMD compatible 3200Mhz sticks instead ??? Cheers

The spec page says 3600? Maybe the manual just hasn't been updated, or support was added with a newer BIOS. DDR4 can be downclocked all the way to 2133 on Ryzen so there's no problem with running it slower if necessary. Running at 2933 has resolved a few issues I've seen lately.

The Intel logos don't mean it's not compatible, just that it hasn't been certified.
