CMK16GX4M2B3200C16W vs CMK16GX4M2B3200C16 for msi tomahawk b350

[Jose Francisco_1]

the point is msi qlv ram:

Corsair CMK16GX4M2B3200C16W DDR4 3200 3200 Samsung 1.35v SS 8GB √ √
Corsair CMK16GX4M2B3200C16R DDR4 3200 3200 Samsung 1.35v SS 8GB √ √

they have listed white and red colors, but no Corsair CMK16GX4M2B3200C16 which is the black one, it's only color difference?, the black one will be the same or the white or red are special?

Nope , the color is the only difference.

All should be compatible , specs are the same.

I don't know if color is a difference but my black CMK16GX4M2B3200C16 works only at 3000 (stable only with higher timings predefined config) with latest bios 1.3
1700X on the Tomahawk.
Tried both: CPU at 3400 and at 3900 - the same problem with memory at 3200, tried all the possible ways to set 3200.
Hope next updates will fix it.
CPU works fluent at 3900, just set the frequency in the bios, auto-voltage works fine on this board. But +10\15 degrees with Arctic Freezer 13.

The black one doesn't go to 3200Mhz on my Mortar (highest I get it is 2667Mhz), while someone else has it working at 3200Mhz on a the white sticks on his mortar (arctic), so I don't think they're the same, I sent a message to MSI and awaiting reply.

I've asked MSI about this issue and they tell me that they're working together with AMD to improve the RAM compatibility ... It seems like we have to wait.

bios v1.4 - XMP Profile 1 (3000) works unstable, reverted to v1.3

 

[Jose Francisco_1]

maybe they are different sticks, well better buy the color ones

Same except the color , identical specs , the non blacks get a color code.
