Question RAM compatability issue?

[yuvaldo]

So I recently completed the following build :

i5 13600k

Asus ROG strix b760i

16*2 G.Skill Ripjaws S5 6000MT/s CL30 (exac model F5-6000J3040F16GA2-RS5W)

And I was getting a yellow dram light after completing the build.

I took the mobo to the vendor and he tested it out with his own ram's and it booted, then with my ram and again yellow light (he did it with his own cpu - I still need to check if maybe my CPU is busted)

Still, after closer examination I found on Asus's ram compatibility site that generally, Ripjaws S5 are not QVL compatible with my motherboard.
On the other hand, G.Skill's site state that it is fully compatible with my mobo.
Also I found a build using this mobo and cpu and the ripjaws on PCpartpicker

Is there anyway to tell or is it just dumb luck ?

Send an email to G.Skill support asking them the questions, they are very responsive and very often will solve issues where their memory is used.

Will do, thanks.
(and I also sent an email to ASUS with the same question).
