3200MHz or 3000MHz on 2933MHz mobo/CPU

[A3D1]

apperently my pc only supports 2933MHz ram, i know i can overclock it up to 3200 or even more but is there any difference ?
i mean on benchmark 3000 is +-1 fps less than 3200 and i assume that 2933 is basically a 3000MHz + the Crucial Ballistix 2x8gb 3000MHz version is 8€ cheaper than the 3200MHz one.
Which one would you recomment me to take ?

also does "overclocking" ram affect on the warranty ?

by "overclocking" i mean for example running a 3200Mhz ram on a 2933Mhz CPU.

PS: i got the Asrock B450M Steel Legend mobo and Ryzen 3 3200g CPU

Most of those cheaper ASRock boards would never be able to run 3200Mhz RAM @ 3200
I'd stick to 3000 for this board. Of course no warranty is effective, why is this even a question. You will have to go into the BIOS after installing the RAM and enable DRAM XMP/AMP/DOCP in order for the RAM to operate at the specs it was designed for.

Before you bother to enter the BIOS on your new board, first go onto another working PC, insert USB Flash Drive, go to the official webpage for the exact model of board you have for this new PC. Download the latest non-Beta BIOS and extract the file to the USB Flash Drive. Insert on the new PC with that Motherboard, enter the BIOS and flash update the bios. This way you be assured that when setting up any options such as for your RAM that these have latest available options, due to using the latest bios update, which can always remove or add in-BIOS options that are available to the user, based on their testing and finding needs for fixes.

I also would never recommend using Crucial RAM for any Ryzen PC, as this will mean using Micron chips. It would be best to look at offerings from Kingston, Corsair or GSkill.

oh so no difference between 3000/3200MHz and 2933MHz on my board. and i gotta make sure to upgrade the bios before doing anything but i didnt really get the final part (micron chip thing). Is there any fps/performance drop whenu use crucial ram on AMD ?

one of my pc's has a asrock b450m pro with a ryzen 3 3200g and the ram runs at 3200mhz

is it crucial ? (the ram)

I think you're mixing up the controller spec of 2933MHz with the XMP "overclocking", my ASRock B450M pro has no problem running Corsair Vengeance LPX 3200 with a DRAM freq of just under 1600Mhz (1/2 of 3200) all is well

its only overclocking the imc on the cpu, which is fine
amd/intel rate it at 2133-2900 but can go to 4000+

There is nothing wrong with using Crucial/Micron RAM with Ryzen processors. Using Crucial RAM means you'll be getting Micron dyes which is fine - if anything, it is better for future if more RAM purchased later given each stick will be using Micron, so no mismatching.

Furthermore, Corsair, Kingston and G.Skill are all known to use Micron dyes, amongst others, in their lineups.

Edit:
OP, 2133mhz to 2900mhz is 'officially' supported but you can use RAM rated at faster speeds. Typically using XMP/DOCP is a quick way to get it set up quickly as when you first install it, it'll default to the max 'officially' supported speed

No it will not. If you buy 3200mhz ram on a picasso cpu and enable xmp/docp it will not work in most cases because 3200mhz is not supported.

Not *officially* supported. People still use 3200mhz RAM with it with no issues.
A select few underclocked to 3000mhz which is still higher than the 'official' supported speed. Depending, of course, if the motherboard allows it.

its only overclocking the imc (internal memory controller) on the cpu
not anything else
if the mobo supports it, and ram support the speeds, its not overclocking them at all

amd/intel rate the imc at 2133-2933, ram will work at those speeds, but its capable of 4000+ (not guaranteed, but works most of the time when using xmp profile)

xmp/amp/docp sets the speed, timings and voltage to run at that speed
