Does the Crucial Ballistix 3600MHz CL16 work well with Ryzen?

Should check the motherboard's "QVL" memory support first. 

Hello there. I was just designing a PC build in pcpartpicker and I noticed that Crucial sells a 3600MHz CL16 2x8GB kit for 40€ less than G Skill or Corsair (103€ vs 139€). I have researched it a bit and it is because Crucial uses Micron E-dies instead of the famous Samsung B-dies. From what I have seen in others builds, it is fairly often paired with a Ryzen CPU, but I wonder if that's a good pair and easy to get to 3600mhz or if I should settle for 3600Mhz CL18 from G Skill or Corsair (around 116€).

CL 16 is better than CL 18 due to lower latency.

Yes I know that. I meant if I should go for 3600MHz from another company instead of 3600MHz from Crucial for Ryzen

You said that G Skill and Corsair was CL18, if that's the case go for the Crucial CL16.

Oh thank you. Didn't know such thing existed. Checked Crucial's page and it says that it isn't compatible with the B450 and X570 boards that I had in mind.
