Question Is G.Skill F4-3000C16D-32GISB kit only compatible with intel motherboards?

[Tony_186]

From the QVL on G.Skill's site it seems like it but I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work with AMD motherboards. Asking this since it doesn't want to run stably on my current AMD mobo.

Thanks!

I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work with AMD motherboards.
The IC's might be what's holding you back or the BIOS for your motherboard. We'll need more context.

It's a DDR4 ram kit, it should drop into any motherboard that accepts DDR4-3000MHz rams. Though if you're planning to drop them onto an AMD AM4 platform, you're better off working with DDR-3600MHz rams with tight latencies to get the most out of your Ryzen 3000 and 5000 series platforms on the B550 chipset. If you're working with Ryzen 1000 and 2000 series processors on a B350 and B450 chipset, the sweet spot is DDR4-3200MHz while on the latest BIOS version.

When posting a thread of troubleshooting nature, it's customary to include your full system's specs. Please list the specs to your build like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model. BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment of time.

The QVL list on G.Skill's website only lists ASUS X570 mbs as compatible. All of the other mbs on G.Skill's list are Intel:

You can use their Configurator to find a compatible model:

When a motherboard is introduced, the ram QVL list is a list of ram that has been tested and been known to work on that motherboard.
Hot all ram or newer ram will have been tested.
In addition, the ram speeds a AMD motherboard can support may be dependent on the processor being used.

Ram faster than stock needs to be overclocked.
The settings used by intel are embedded in the stick itself.
AMD expo will try to translate. But, this is not always successful.

What you CAN do it try to enter the bios settings yourself. Most likely a touch more voltage than normal will do the trick.

When you think it is working, verify by running memtest86.
It does not use windows.
If it runs a full test with NO errors, you are likely OK.
To be sure, run a couple more times.
