Confusion regarding memory compatibility

[ron2456]

The motherboard I will buy is Gigabyte ax370m-gaming 3. In their memory QVL my memory model ADATA AD4U2400W4G17-B is listed but chip manufacturer is listed as HYNIX but my ram has Chip from Specktek.
So would that be an issue?

This should help:

Sorry but that didn't answer anything.
I was just asking that if the Adata Spectek Memory chip would work with the Gigabyte Motherboard as Gigabyte lists the same Adata module number but with a different chip from Hynix.

Anyone else?

Sorry Pal but it does say it should work for Ryzen first series which is X370- Spectek DDR4
'Spectek DDR4 is found in certain 2133 and 2400-rated kits - it should run fine but has little overclocking headroom.'

Btw where does it say it works for first gen x370. Cant see it.

This is very confusing as that memory model is supposed have SK Hynix chips....How Specktek chips have got on that is very odd. Bottom line i am sure it will work, but contact ADATA and whoever supplied it to dig a bit deeper...Hopefully someone here might know more..Apologies..

SpecTek is a wholly owned division of Micron, a ram OEM whose major consumer label for ram is Crucial.

I don't see a problem there, Crucial ram is basically compatible with anything. I doubt Micron would release ram that didn't hold up to its standards.

The only thing I can figure is even though Adata kept the same model number, it changed OEM supplier for that ram, prolly due to cost factors or supply issues, which there was/is a shortage of silicon ic's not too long ago.

@vMax
But Asrock ab350m pro4 list the same model with spectek as the chip manufacturer.
Looks like adata used hynix before but because of compatibility issues switched to spectek.

I think that is what has happened and they have kept the model number scheme the same..

Installed the Spectek on the motherboard and it works better than the asus.

Huh, wha'd ya know, Crucial does it again...
