Hey there!
I’ve got an Asus prime x470-pro alongside with a ryzen from second generation. I need to upgrade my ram asap (I’m running a single stick at 2600mhz) and I’ve come across that the Asus QVL page shows different PDFs for different ryzen generations.
It confused me since I thought ram only depended on que motherboard.
So my question is, if I find the ram on the pdf from the 3rd or 5th gen of ryzen, and of course with compatible speed, will it run with my second generation cpu?

Thank you so much! I’ve got no one to ask this question to, so I apologize beforehand If it seems kinda dumb!
 
Solution
Use the memory QVL for the generation of your CPU on 450 or 470 boards or you will have issues. With Ryzen and those boards, the CPU does matter.
