hey guys!! recently I bought on amazon a GIGABYTE GA-AB350M-Gaming 3 mobo and  CMU16GX4M2C3000C15 ram sticks, the thing is I have not read any issues with these ram sticks but I started to read the ram compatibility on gb's web site and these sticks were not on the list :/ (ik it is my bad and I should've read it before). What do I do now?? I can return the m/b and get another one but with some m/b having compatibility issues with ryzen 5 (ordered a ryzen 1600) , is even harder to find a m/b plus stocks are lacking in amazon!!. Any m/b references which will work with  the ram sticks I got?

Try to return the ram, most ram should have compatibility even if it isnt on the list, what brand is that ram?

Edit i realise this is corsair ram, if you dont need the leds, return it and get some lpx 3000 that is definitely compatible and tried and tested

As long as it's DDR4-2400 or higher, there won't be a problem. Mobo manufacturers don't control what ram is and isn't compatible. 

qυoтe мe pleaѕe!

Me at the Apple store: "So how fast is this little macbook?"

Apple employee: "Cheetah Fast. Lightning Fast. It's Really, really, fast."

I just freaked out so badly u.u, since both mobo and ram sticks had very good reviews on newegg and different forums I choose them blindly

Really - it's ok. It will be compatible. First time build?

Yeah I wouldn't freak out until you actually test them. I started with a Asus Am4 370x Crosshair and ended up selling it and getting a 350 MSI board. I picked ram that wasn't on the list for either of those, and they both worked just fine. Currently have it OC to 3200 as well.

I would rather agree on what we share, than fight on what we don't. - Myself

plus I saw some gskill having compatibility issues with ryzen, that's why I thought I fucked up "maybe those corsairs sticks won't work" i thought when I read the compatibility list of the mobo

I think that was earlier when Ryzen launched with some issues, in fact one of the Ryzen PC's I have built had G-Skill RAM in it.

I'm relieved T-T since I'm not from the us I had to ask a family friend to receive the pc parts I got and send them to my country, but the one assembling the pc would be me, so noticing any malfunction in my country would have been a pain in the ass to me (if it were an incompatibility issue).

Probably because of that RGB shit, lol. I've never had any issues with good ol' Ballistix.

It will probably downclock to 2133mhz initially. 

 

Go here and put the latest beta bios on the board - it's based on the agesa 1006 offering more ram compatibility

After that play with your settings, more so the SOC voltage and DDR voltage - You may need to manually enter the timings if XMP doesn't boot

I wouldn't stress too much, it's hit or miss even when you do research. Case in point, I have the latest bios update, vendor approved listed and specifically made for Ryzen Flare X kit and it refuses to boot at stock 3200mhz spec. I had to set to 2993mhz and then use bclk overclocking to squeak a little extra out.

What BIOS you got?

AGESA 1.0.0.4a?
