RGB RAM Suggestions for ASRock & Ryzen ?

[sparda1]

I currently have an ASRock AB350 Pro4 motherboard and a Ryzen 5 1600x for a gaming rig. I really love the look of the G.Skill Trident Z RGB (F4-3000C16D-16GTZR), would it be compatible or even ideal for this combo? I've read that G.Skill was having some compatibility issues with Ryzen boards around 5-6 months ago and were actively working with AMD on it, but I can't find much new info regarding it. I had a look on both ASRock's and G.Skill's compatibility pages, but many don't models don't line up. G.Skill will show that certain modules work with this motherboard, while the ASRock page does not list it in it's compatibility page.

Any advice or suggestions are appreciated, thanks!

It will work fine with the latest BIOS. DRAM Frequency will come out to around DDR4-2933, due to CPU design, but you can manually overclock if you would like to get nearer DDR4-3000

I am planning on getting R5 2600 with Asrock B450 and this is my same dillemma in terms of ram compatibility will the Gskills ripjaws V with SKU F4-3200C16D-16GVKB work after updating with the new bios? I have until this week to setup everything up.

Thank you in advance.

Yes, but most likely will not reach full DDR4-3200 with that motherboard and CPU.

I appreciate the response and i am really planning on building a rig. Here in the Philippines it is really hard to come by on some Ram kits that are pretty decent in terms of budget and the SKU available are not listed within the MOBO QVL lists.

Here are the list of G.skill ram kits we have available and most MOBO qvl memory list I check from Asrock, MSI, Asus it is not included.

I would appreciate if you can confirm that either ram kits will be compatible either for B450 or X470 mobos of those said brands.

16gb (dual) ddr4 3200 G.Skill Ripjaws V, black, CL16 1.35v, pn: F4 3200C16D 16GVKB
16gb (dual) ddr4 3200 G.Skill Trident Z, Black White Accent, CL16 1.35v, pn: F4-3200C16D-16GTZKW
16gb (dual) ddr4 3000 G.Skill Trident Z RGB, Black HS, CL16 1.35v, pn: F4-3000C16D-16GTZR

Thanks in advance.
