Hello everybody,

What would happen if you installed this memory into this motherboard?
(sorry for the dutch, that's where i bought it)

I recently upgraded my system big time and didn't realise that this memory isn't really compatible with that motherboard. (you can see the compatibility list here) I'm having some performance issues with my games (sometime i lose control for about half a second to a few seconds) and it's quite annoying! other than that everything seems fine.

i'm trying to figure out where the problem lies.

i've benchmarked my gpu, seems fine
i've stress tested my cpu, seems fine
i've noticed a few lag spikes (see here) in my internet but doubt this would cause it because i also have it in single player game

also worth to mention is that i've used my old SSD and HDD because they still work fine. Could these cause these lag spikes?

show me you're gods!
 
Solution
I never pay any attention to memory QVLs for aftermarket boards like Asus/Gigabyte/AsRock/MSI. You need DDR4 RAM. And since it's for an AMD Ryzen CPU, get something DDR4-3000 or DDR4-3200.
