RAM between Intel and Ryzen platforms?

[EthanHinman]

The ram I want says intel Z170 platform desktop memory model, will it work with a motherboard with a AMD B350 chipset?

I need to know, because I'm ordering my parts tonight.

It should be perfectly fine.

 

It's DDR4, which is the same as what the b350 chipset uses.

Ok, thank you!

Will that ram kit work with that board? Maybe with the most recent bios update. F4-3200C16D-16GVGB is a Dual Rank kit, meaning it has chips on both sides of the DIMM. Those chips are also Samsung E-Die. Source  That being said, it's not a kit I would personally use, nor would I ever recommend it. It may be something you should research before purchasing; Ryzen compatibility with Dual Rank vs Single Rank.

 

If I were to make a recommendation, I'd drop to just a Ryzen 5 1600 (non-x) and spend what you saved on a kit of ram known to work better with Ryzen.

Some kits I'd recommend:

CMD16GX4M2B3000C15 - Corsair Dominator Platinum

F4-3000C14D-16GVK - G.Skill Ripjaws V

F4-3200C14D-16GVK - G.Skill Ripjaws V

F4-3200C14D-16GTZ - G.Skill Trident Z (has several color variants, but as long as it's C14, it should be Samsung B-Die)
