I was about to buy a set of g.skill ram and noticed it said "for AMD". should i expect any issues to run it on my z-390? opinions, suggestions, thoughts...

From what I've seen that usually indicates a set is made of Samsung b-die and that's the best.  If anything it's a badge of quality.

Thx guys, thats what i thought. I just wanted to hear some reassuring comments from someone i guess, or see if anyone has run into any issues... 

No problem. I understand lol. I wouldn't want to waste my money on RAM that doesn't work either.

so im trying to populate all my slots and this kit is the same spec as the previuous i bought except for the amd validation. its like 100 less! ok so this just brought up another question. CAS latencies are different, original is 17 AMD cert is 18 would this bring any problems using XMP or would i have to OC manually and adjust timings manually? (never done it, could do it, but rather not have to mess with it)

You will have to manually change the timings to get that 17 on both kits, but you may not notice the difference when it goes to 18. 

Also, FYI the ram for Ryzen was Labelled as such because there were some compatibility issues really early for Ryzen.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

How many watts do I need?
