Hello,

Does corsair Vengeance RGB Pro work well with ASUS- Prime X 470- pro ATX AM4 Motherboard? Or should I use a different style of memory?

Well, it works fine but you can't control the RAM RGB from your MoBo's Aura Sync software since that RAM only supports Corsair iCUE, MSI Mystic Light and Gigabyte Fusion RGB solutions,

If you want RAM RGB to be controlled from Aura Sync software, you need to look elsewhere, e.g G.Skill Trident Z RGB,

Another note: Since all RGB RAMs are considered tall-heatsink RAMs, some CPU air coolers are not compatible with them. If you're going with CPU air cooler (e.g Be Quiet! Dark Rock Pro 3), make sure how much RAM clearance it has.
