[SOLVED] Ram compatibility question

[MozzaMoo]

So I have a B450-F gaming from asus and realised only this morning my ram isn’t compatible with it, so I need new stuff I’m looking at Corsair RGB PRO, and the 3200mhz kit is on the compatible list (QVL), but the 3600mhz kit isn’t, the 3600 is only £3 extra so will the 3600mhz work?
3200mhz kit: https://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/compu...r4-3200-mhz-pc-ram-8-gb-x-2-10220440-pdt.html
3600mhz kit: https://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/compu...r4-3600-mhz-pc-ram-8-gb-x-2-10220356-pdt.html

The ram compatibility list on the motherboard page is not what should tell you which ram to buy.
That is a QVL that is basically asus saying: these are what we tested internally.
Especially now that ddr4 has matured you can basically get any kit, and put it in any motherboard. (At first, AMD motherboards and cpus we're quite finnicky about ram, but now it's basically fixed)
Faster ram might work, regardless of the motherboard, but it might like, not.

tl;dr
You can use whatever ram you want, but it is not guaranteed to work at it's fullest speed, but it will 100% work with your system in general.
Get the 3600mhz version, and hope it will work (3600mhz is pretty normal, I'm pretty sure any ryzen 3000 can do it, 4000mhz is where you get into might not work territory)
