Hi All,
I'm going to buy Asus ROG Strix X470-F Gaming motherboard for my Ryzen 7 2700x processor.
I already have a G-Skill Trident Z RGB F4-3200C14D-16GTZR 2*8Gb kit, however this kit is not listed in the QVL for Asus ROG Strix X470-F Gaming*motherboard.*
Can anyone confirm if this G-Skill TridentZ RGB F4-3200C14D-16GTZR RAM 2*8Gb kit will work with Asus ROG Strix X470-F Gaming motherboard?
Is anyone using this same spec on their Rig currently?
Regards,
Nash
That kit will be Samsung B die RAM IC, single rank/sided RAM. It is the most favoured "setup" to use on Ryzen and most supported by all AM4/sTR4 motherboards.
Buy it without hesitation. It will work at stock and OC'd way better than a RAM kit with a differing RAM IC.
As to buying RAM on QVL see this post,

I own F4-3200C14D-16GTZ, F4-3200C14Q-32GTZSW, F4-3200C14Q-32GVK. Some of those kits are not on the QVL for C6H, C7H and ZE, they will nail 3466MHz easily. As all are Samsung B die RAM IC, single rank/sided RAM. The weakness to gain 3200MHz+ is usually CPU IMC.
I would not pay for "X" designation RAM. Several members on OCN have used Flare X/Trident Z "optimised for AMD" and not noted a difference to justify it, if it costs more than the "Intel" tested RAM.
