Memory capacity and speeds depend on the motherboard, BIOS and DIMM configuration. PCIe connectivity also depends on the motherboard. Boost and turbo frequencies are maximum values and vary with workload, cooling and system settings.
Check your motherboard manufacturer's CPU support list and required BIOS version before installation. An AM4 socket alone does not confirm compatibility.
