    JustPlainGarak got a reaction from KhorCS in RAM compatability inquiry   
    As a person who's running a 3700X on a B350 board, no you shouldn't just ignore the QVL. You CAN, but I don't recommend it. I had a heck of a time dialing in stable settings on my FlareX kit on my AB350N Gaming Wifi and it took lots of tuning of voltages (both memory voltages and SoC voltages) and I probably would have had a better time if I had actually consulted the QVL before choosing a memory kit. After the fact, my kit is CLOSE in model number to ones on the QVL, but exact matches are going to give you better compatibility and an easier time dialing in either XMP or custom speeds and timings.
     
    Were I you (what with the benefit of hindsight), I'd look at the 2nd Gen QVL for the board, find a kit that meets your requirements for speed and timings and get that kit. I should have followed my own advice, it's what I did when I built computers for family.
