Does 5600mhz work with this cpu has anyone tried? Intels website says its 4800mhz but can i use 2x16 5600mhz with it? Would it work or would it just downclock itself?
It’s guaranteed to work correctly when down clocked to 4800 MT/s according to ARK. On some (gaming) laptops and mini desktops you can probably activate RAM overclocking (XMP/EXPO) up to some higher speed, this isn’t guaranteed to be stable. It has to be said though that the Intel 13th gen Datasheet says 13th gen HX supports up to 5600 with 1R 1DPC and 5200 with 2R 1DPC. I guess if you install RAM with a 5600 JEDEC profile you’ll see what the BIOS does.
Also, only RAM modules that are exactly the same, PCB layout, chip type, etc, are supported. Mixing RAM isn’t supported and can cause problems.
