Max memory speed (overclocked)iHighest overclocked speed the maker lists for one module per channel, with the newest CPU family the board is sold for, e.g. Ryzen 9000 or Core Ultra 200S. Ryzen 8000 values are never used. The source note names the family and the other module setups. It is not the CPU's official speed. A JEDEC-only list such as 5600/4800 is not this value. When the maker lists a manual overclock and a memory profile speed, the higher one is stored. The maker's product page wins over an older manual, since a BIOS update can raise the value. A table that names the CPU family wins over a headline speed that names none.

The Australian retailer copy on Qamba shows the same 8000(OC) list. Retailer copies from the Ryzen 7000 and 8000 era list 7600(OC) as the top speed. The excerpt does not name the CPU family. The Ryzen 9000 line is assumed from the page's own Ryzen 9000 support and the newest-family rule.7Retailer pagestore.qamba.com.au/products/gigabyte-b650-eagle-ax-1614907Read 15 October 2026The listing's CPU row reads DDR5 8000(OC)/ 7800(OC)/ 7600(OC)/ 7200(OC) down to 4800 MT/s. Its memory row still has the older list that tops out at 7600(OC) and 192 GB, so the page mixes two versions of the maker's text.

ECC memoryiThe board runs unbuffered ECC modules with ECC active. A board that runs ECC modules in non-ECC mode does not count. DDR5 on-die ECC does not count. A maker list of ECC and non-ECC unbuffered memory with no non-ECC mode qualifier counts as true, as on ASUS and ASRock AM5 boards.
