Asus rog strix X370-F: Memory compatibility question

[paulog16]

Hey guys,

I want to buy G.Skillz Trident Z RGB (F4-3200C16D-16GTZR) for this motherboard, but ASUS doesn't seem to have it listed. I've seen some youtubers using a 3200mhz Trident RGB kit with this motherboard.

Should I risk it and go ahead with buying this kit? PCPartPicker seems to think they're compatible, although I'm not sure how reliable that is. If I buy it and it doesn't work, what are my options?

Here's the Motherboard list:

Go to the G.Skillz website and use the memory configurator to see what G,skillz memory works in that motherboard.

If what you bought isn't listed, return it for a kit that will work.

Probably a better idea to get something on the list. Or you could try to reach out to some people in these you tube videos and try to get the exact serial# of the memory they are using. but remember most of those guys are professionals and they where given there memory, along with the motherboards, and cpu from AMD. So these where pre-tested setups.

I also remember seeing some memory similar to that when the reviews first started coming out.

the motherboard isn't even listed on G.skills RAM configuration tool even though the ram list on ASUS's website has other RAM of GSkill as compatible :| very strange. The motherboard was only released end of May iirc so that might be why.

It was PaulsHardware, he said it was just a kit he had lying around anyway. I think I might msg Gskill and ask, or just wait another month.

Even though this reply is very late, I wanted to reply to say that Yes this combination will work for anyone in the future who sees this post who are considering this combination.

I personally have a Ryzen 7 1700, Asus Rog Strix X370-F, and 16 GB of G.Skill TridentZ RGB (16 CAS) F4-3200C16D-16GTZR

The memory worked right on a fresh motherboard install, it was doing it's RGB rainbow effects on first boot before I even got to update the motherboard's bios. So I updated the bios right away and then proceeded to tweak the memory settings, First I tried using one of the many template profile settings provided, rebooted however the system just hung, so after resetting the bios jumper, This time I decided to skip using any of the provided profiles, and I just manually set the memory to 3200mhz, left the default CAS timings alone, bumped the voltage for the DRAM to 1.35v and rebooted and it accepted the change with zero issue.

Here's my validation report from CPU-Z showing that I am running both an Asus Rog Strix X370-F and G.Skill Trident RGB 3200 ram running at it's full 3200 speed: https://valid.x86.fr/cahf5t

For those who don't understand the numbers CPU-Z shows, keep in mind that memory is Dual Channel so that's ~1600 x2 which gives you 3200MHz.

any luck trying to overclock the processor along with this setting?

I use an Strix Z270F which is pretty modern, and the same ram as you are looking to get, works fine, but the bios might need to be configured to the 3200mhz setting before you can run both sticks at once.

Hi,

I have this kit - cpuxmemory, but this mother board show no QVL List a memory compatilable, and not stable with frequency @3200Mhz F4-3200C16D-16GTZR of G.Skill

I am stable only in @2933Mhz, with default config 1,35v 16-21-21-21-49

In @3200Mhz not stable of 16-18-18-18-36 forever error BSOD.

You can help me there already.

What should I do?
