The maximum supported speed for the Intel chip in the system is only 2666mhz. So, if you put that kit into the PC, it will run all 32GB of the kit, but only at the default 2666 speed. However, most Ryzen chips support this speed. But to get a Ryzen chip, you will need a new motherboard. I will list some products similar to the ones in this system down below. Similar Ryzen chip: Ryzen 5 3600. This chip has less physical cores(6), but it has more threads(12) due to hyper-threading. Most games won't fully utilize the 6 cores this chip has, and it is overclockable, too. It is also very good for the price, starting at only $175 USD. A solid motherboard choice would be the MSI B450 Tomahawk Max. For the price, it really is an amazing board. You get 2 PCI-e slots to put graphic/expansion cards, support for memory up to 4133 Dual Channel, great VRM heatsinks, a turbo NVMe slot, PS2 port, 2 USB 2.0 ports, HDMI, DVI-D, USB 3.2, USB-C, and a LAN port, all for $115 USD. So, switching to Ryzen could bring more bang for the buck to your PC, if you want that RAM to run as fast as you would like it to. You could even go as far as taking the heatsink off the existing motherboard and sell it locally. You could easily get $150 to $200 for the processor and $30 for the motherboard, depending on how heavily used they are. I hope this answers your question and clears things up for you.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hello, If you would like to have RAM running at 3600mhz, you would have to upgrade the motherboard to one that supports that RAM speed. There are many motherboards that can do that, just make sure that it is an Intel motherboard so that you can utilize the i7-9700F. You should not need to upgrade the CPU.
