So I did not look enough into Ryzen's ram issues. I knew that it demanded more RAM but didn't see that only certain RAM would go above 2133 I bought CORSAIR Vengeance LPX 8GB (2 x 4GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3000 and it can't get up to the 3000, only to 2133 

 

So my real question is, do you think I should use my Newegg 30day guarantee to return these and get the correct ram, or just hope that AMD updates Ryzen to where all DDR4 is compatible. 

 

Motherboard if it matters is a MSI B350 Tomahawk and Ryzen 1700

It depends on if you want to wait or not.  You can always return is, check the MSI QVL to see which ones are currently compatible with their latest BIOS, and then go from there.  BIOS updates are coming out fast and furious from most places, so if you decided to wait, I would think you wouldn't be waiting very long.

Excuse my ignorance but where would I find the MSI QVL and is it MOBO specific?

I would look up on msi.com and then look to support and you should find the Qualified Vendor List, as it can be motherboard specific.
