Motherboard and RAM Compatibility

Hi, i am building my first PC aaaand i already bought the RAM.

 

What i got were 2 separate sticks of the Hyperx Predator 3200 MHZ C16 8GB (HX432C16PB3A/8). I couldnt put my hands on a kit with 2 sticks.

 

I will pair it with a Ryzen 2600 (at most i will upgrade to a Ryzen 3600 but maybe not). I will NOT overclock the cpu.

Take into consideration: In summer, ambient temperature is usually between 35C and 40C.

 

Motherboards i am looking for:

- Asrock B450M Steel Legend:

Not a very good VRM.

Memory IS listed in the QVL, working speed 3200MHz (profile 1).

 

- MSI B450M Gaming Plus.

Decent VRM

Memory NOT listed in the QVL. But the HX432C16PB3K2/16 is listed.

 

-MSI B450 Tomahawk

Better VRM

Memory is listed in the QVL, but working speed 3000MHz (profile 2).

 

What do you think? Of course the Tomahawk is more expensive than the other two.

If you're not going to overclock, go with the one you like aesthetically the most.

 

Your memory should work on any of them with some small tweaks.
