>>81104293Afaik, on b450 you could run 4 ddr4 3600mhz sticks at 3600mhz just fine. Sure, latency would be worse and stuff as you just mixed 2 sticks of ram on the same channel, but it wouldn't drop the frequency to half. On am5 memory speed gets downgraded if you have 4 sticks, at least from the badly written bottom text under the memory support lists and some r*ddit reports
"Speed dropping policy according to AMD processor specification: Drops down to DDR5-3600 when 4 DIMMs are installed."
It might be a ddr5 thing and not an am5 thing but I've seen multiple reports it's hard to get 2rank ddr5 to high frequency.
