Does types of DDR4 Ram matter?

[Dalekskaro7]

So something that I noticed (after -_-) buying my ram, is that it is for a z170 intel board, not for AM4

However, I haven't been able to find ram that specifically says comparable with AM4. I looked on MSI's website, but it only has compatible ram for 16gb+, and doesn't say anything about if I can put 2x4gb stick in it.

No it doesnt matter, DDR4 is DDR4 at the end of the day, your are better at the moment getting something off the QVL but I find G.Skill generally works, it seems to be Corsair RAM thats having all of the problems.

There is only 1 brand and model that is optimised for AM4 at the moment and thats G.Skill FlareX, im using G.Skill trident Z 3200mhz RGB kit on my AM4 platform, not on my boards QVL and also Intel optimised, but its just the XMP profiles that are Intel optimised.
