First build Ram-kit selection (qvl-issues)

PeaY · December 16, 2020

Hello,

I'm just in the start blocks of building my first pc by myself, all parts are ordered but the delayed delivery of the RTX3070 have given me a lot more time to research what is actually important when it come to components. This made me realize that the RAM kit is selected would be crap for my system so I'm no in the hunt for a another kit,

For your information will I run a Ryzen 7 3700x, I could have gone with the Ryzen 5 5600x, but I got a really good deal on the 3700x and the performance increase from the newer CPU is not that big. The Motherboard will be a Asus ROG Strix B550-F gaming WiFi.

So the RAM-kit I choose first was a Hyperx 3200 Mhz CL18, and as I said have I realized that this one is crap for my system. So I'm been looking in to some other options and as I have understood should a 3600 Mhz CL16 kit be the best performance/value combo.

So I have found this RAM-kit: G.Skill Ripjaws V DDR4 3600Mhz 16GB CL16 (16-16-16-36) (F4-3600C16D-16GVK) for about 149$.

But I have some concerns, this kit are not on the MB's qvl. But If I checked the G.skill website and if I select my MB and CPU this kit are on their qvl. So it should be fine according to G.skill's qvl but the kit is not on the MB's qvl. Could it just be that the MB's qvl is outdated?

Also on the website is stated that this kit will bring out the best of "your Intel system". But it is still recommended to my MB/CPU combo according to G.skill.

Best Regards!
