Is a Corsair 3000MHz DDR4 Compatible with the MSI B350M

[5tompy]

I'm to upgrade my RAM and want to know if the Corsair Vengeance 3000MHz DDR4 C15 XMP 2.0 LED 16GB will work with the MSI B350M Motherboard. I have checked on the MSI website and it isn't very clear. I want to get 2 Sticks of RAM and I want to completely swap out my two 4GB ones for these 2 8GB ones.

Are they on the QVL list because Ryzen is picky when it comes to memory modules.

It says it supports DDR4 1866/ 2133/ 2400/ 2667(OC)/ 2933(OC)/ 3200(OC)+ MHz* (B350M GAMING PRO) . Not sure if this is what you need?

You need to go to the "Compatibility" tab, and click on 'Memory Support Ryzen Series". But, hold on, you did not mention in your OP which specific MSI B350M do you have?

If it's the B350M Gaming Pro, go here: https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/B350M-GAMING-PRO.html#support-mem-2
If it's the B350M Mortar, go here: https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/B350M-MORTAR.html#support-mem-2
If it's the B350M Mortar Arctic, go here: https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/B350M-MORTAR-ARCTIC.html#support-mem-2
If it's the B350M Bazooka, go here: https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/B350M-BAZOOKA.html#support-mem-2

Look for the Corsair Vengeance RAM you have, using the specific model no. It should be "CM_16GX_M_C3000C15_" (blank space are with numbers depending on your specific RAM model).

Sorry, it's the B350M Gaming Pro. I've checked and it's not listed. My budgets about £120 for 16GB and i'm looking to buy off Amazon. What would you recommend?

Only RAM I can find in the QVL of your MSI B350M Gaming Pro, but costs ~£130 in Amazon UK:

Part No. is CMK16GX4M2B3200C16R, supported at 3200MHz speeds. It's also red (complements your motherboard). Non-LED though.
