Will I have issues?

Go to solution Solved by JakubOCD,

Giving an update in case someone else has this type of question. When I first booted with the 16GB RAM the bios only detected 8GB in dual channel and then all 16GB in single channel. I updated my BIOS and the 16GB was showing up in dual channel and I was able to set the memory speed to 3200mhz without any issue. In short, my RAM wasn't listed in the QVL but it still works with a BIOS update.

I’m planning a build and I bought an ASUS B450-F Gaming board and I’m checking to see if my RAM (2x8gb) is compatible. In the Qualified Vendor List, it lists my RAM to be qualified to work with 1 DIMM, meaning it will work in single channel, do you think I’ll have much trouble running in dual channel? Will it even post with both sitcks in? Or will I have to have the sticks in single channel? Or worse I can only use the one 8gb stick. I think I got a good deal on the RAM, 16GB 3200mhz for under $200 Canadian rupees.
