Hi, 

having trouble picking ram and wanted some suggestions. Building a PC with the 3700x and X570 Aorus elite WiFi. First time building a pc in a while. Now that amd is up and doing well I’ve decided to give them a try. I’m doing a black and white build and would really like to have some white ram. Rgb is wanted but not a deal breaker. 
One odd thing to me is that the Vengeance RGB pro in black is amd compatible and 3600mhz but the white isn’t? According to corsairs site. Would the white work though? Anyone have experience?

also I’ve seen thermaltake tough ram. Never used it any good? I’d like the Corsair in white but I just don’t see how the black kit states compatibility and the white doesn’t? Any tips?

i could go to 3200 MHz if necessary.

I don't see how slapping a different color heat spreader on the thing would remove compatibility.

That’s exactly my thinking as well. On their site though it says at least in the 3600mhz model that only black is compatible which makes zero sense. However the 3200mhz is amd compatible In white. I know everyone says “atleast 3600 for AMD” but would 3200 be that big of a difference? Especially with a lower latency? I don’t want to sacrifice performance for looks though.

So long as it is the same CAS Latency and rated frequency, it'll be fine
