Ram compatibility on ASRock X370 Killer SLI/ac

[grantwhitlow16]

Hi, I was wondering if the Ram compatibility list is accurate on ASRock's website. The reason I am asking this is the ram kits I have picked out are not currently on their website. I picked my parts on PCPartpicker.com and looked at the motherboard ram compatibility and the ram kits I want are on there. I am doing a Ryzen APU build. The link to the ASRock website ram list- https://www.asrock.com/MB/AMD/X370%20Killer%20SLIac/ind...
The link to the PCPartpicker list- https://pcpartpicker.com/products/memory/?compatible_wi...

Thanks for the help,
Grant

welcome to the Linus Tech Tips forums!

 

ryzen in general has had compatibility issues.

if the mobo has the most current UEFI installed, most RAM can be used. whether speed can be fully utilized is where the gotcha is.

for your APU, speed is everything. a kit breaking the 2933 MHz barrier will be noticable.

corsair lpx and g skill trident 3000+ seems to be unchallenged but again having the latest UEFI install (especially with the r3/5 APU) is critical.

So if you were doing an APU build what RAM kit would you personally go with. (A lower price kit) 

 

Thanks for your time,
