Hi,

I plan on building my first gaming PC using the motherboard:
MSI X370 Gaming Pro Carbon.
When I go to the QVL and search for CMK16GX4M2B3200C16 (being this the black heatsink one), it only has the models with an R or a W int the end of the model name, being respectively, the red and white heatsink variants.
If I buy the black heatsink version, will it work just fine like the others or do I need to buy the Red/White options?

One more thing, is it does work equally, does the same happend with other brands? For example G.Skill, it is only listed the F4-3200C16D-16GVRB (red model), but if I use the black one (F4-3200C16D-16GVKB), will it work with the same performance?

Thanks

P.S. Link for the QVL list:

Thank You,
So, you are saying that I can use other ram different from what is in the QVL? (since it is DDR4 in this case)
