I've been picking parts for my new desktop for a little while and almost felt like I've completed everything, until I checked the QVL for the motherboard, and it seems I just can't find any RAM that fits my requirements - more on this later. First let me list the parts:
But interestingly, after some googling around, I ran into a QVL for G.SKILL, specifically for the RAM listed above https://www.gskill.com/qvl/165/326/1582265908/F4-3600C18D-64GTZN-Qvl ... and they actually do list the AORUS MASTER X570. This makes me extremely confused.
Does it mean that the QVL from Gigabyte is only the RAMs that Gigabyte tested, and this other list from G.SKILL is the other way around, with G.SKILL testing their RAMs with various motherboards, and actually finding the AORUS MASTER X570 compatible? What confuses me even further is that none of the motherboards I've checked (that bieng the Taichi and HERO listed above) have any 2x32GB 3600MHz RAMs in their QVL. On the other hand, looking at the G.SKILL list, it doesn't have the Taichi motherboard on it, but it both has the MASTER and HERO.
Maybe I'm being too paranoid, but do I just trust G.SKILL that if it's on their list it'll work, regardless of what's on the motherboard manufacturer's QVL?
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 3900XT
- Motherboard: GIGABYTE X570 AORUS MASTER (also thought about ASROCK X570 Taichi and ASUS ROG CROSSHAIR VIII HERO) - probably could just as well work with the Taichi, but the local price diff isn't that big.
- Power Source: Corsair RM850 (850W modular)
- GPU: GTX 1080ti (taking this from my previous desktop)
- SSD: Samsung 970 EVO 1TB (looked at benchmarks and the EVO Plus seems to be only ~5% better at ~20% more cost).
- Cooling: ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 280
- RAM: (this is my first pick) G.SKILL 64GB KIT DDR4 3600MHz CL18 Trident Z RGB Neo (code F4-3600C18D-64GTZN)
