ripjaws v vs. flare x vs trident z vs corsair lpx for b350 gigabyte gaming 3

[_Llama]

So far the only thing that has me on the fence about my build is the ram. I've made tons of edits, but what is up with the qvl?

It seems only 1 stick rams are supported. I've seen people vaguely mention that they got their regular (not flare x) ram to work but is it true? Can anyone confirm this? I've also read reviews saying that ryzen benefits from faster ram:

But then when I go to newegg there's this guy that says otherwise:

"Alright then I guess I'll save some bucks" I say, but then theres the older 3200mhz ddr4 rams at similar prices to the flare x at 2400mhz which is where I'm stuck. Let's say the bios updates do their thing and I can clock the older 3200 at default speed-- the thing is, which ones and is it worth going without the samsung b die thingys (noob builder here) that the flare x's have? I've been doing research for over a month now and it would be really helpful if anyone that actually owns the board can step in and help. The reason I'm really cracking down on the price is because I'm trying to squeeze in a 1080 whenever it goes on sale.

Rams up for consideration (current ram is ripjaws v):

Flare X maybe your safest bet, however, I am running the Trident Z RGB CL16, had it on a Gigabyte B350m 1st then moved it to an MSI B350m, mine is running at 3200mhz, but I hear a lot of people saying they can only get theres to 3000mhz for the time being, pending bios updates.

Almost all RAM is manufactured by just three companies - Samsung, SK Hynix (Hyundai), and Micron (Crucial).

https://www.statista.com/statistics/233419/global-market-share-of-dram-suppliers/

The brands you've listed just buy RAM from one of these three manufacturers, attaches it to a PCB, sticks on some spiffy-looking heat sinks, and sells it to you. There isn't even any guarantee that the RAM will remain consistent between batches. You could buy a stick in April that happens to use Samsung RAM, then order the exact same stick in May and it could contain Micron RAM (those fancy heatsinks help hide these types of shenanigans from end-users). So reviews of these off-brands are of dubious value.

So buy RAM based on the customer support (almost all offer a lifetime guarantee, but some are more responsive to return requests than others). Or buy Crucial RAM (the only major manufacturer to sell its RAM at retail).
