    GIGABYTE X470 AORUS ULTRA GAMING (AMD Ryzen AM4/ X470/ USB 3.1 Gen 2 Front Type C/ ATX/ DDR4/ Motherboard)

    • The only adjustment I've had to do was make sure bios was in boost mode so that my corsair vengeance performed at
    • My system consists of an Aorus X470 Gaming 5 Wifi, an AMD Ryzen 5 2600x, Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 2667 MHz, and a Powercolor Red Devil RX 570 4gb This motherboard is awesome overall, and it allows usage of Ryzen's 2nd generation CPUs
    • I originally purchased this RAM, at the time the most popular 16 gig set and an Amazon Choice pick: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3000MHz C15 Desktop Memory Kit - Black (CMK16GX4M2B3000C15), and for the life of me, I could NOT get it to over clock no matter what I did.
