Hey guys, i want to upgrade my pc and planning to buy an amd ryzen 5 1600x with asus PRIME B350-PLUS mainboard. For ram, i really like the g skill rgb ram. From g skill they said this ram "F4-3200C14D-16GTZR" is compatible with ryzen 7 and x370 mainboard. Can any of u tell me if i buy a trident z rgb ram for my cpu and mainboard , would it work? if not, then suggest me some 16gb 3000mhz option for my setup without flair x coz that is not available in my area. thanx in advance guys

You can use the Trident Z memory, but you'll most probably have to lower the RAM frequency to 2933 MHz for now for stability. At 2933 it should work just fine, but at 3000 MHz, it really comes down to luck. But it is compatible, yes. It will work at some frequency or other, depending on what die your RAM is. Trident Z is popular with Ryzen since they seem to be Samsung B-die, which works well with Ryzen.

You can use the kit you have mentioned, but be prepared to lower frequency to 2933 for a stable system.

Thanks a lot. I was really looking forward to this. i have no problem with 2933mhz. I have just one more question, can i run the ram at Latency 14-14-14-34? Again, thanks a lot
 
Sorry, but I actually don't know about latencies much. What I do know is that the RAM kit you've mentioned already has a CAS latency of 14. It does have a default timing of 14-14-14-34 out of the box, but sometimes you have to loosen(numerically increase) the timings to run at higher clock speeds. But you'll have to ask someone else, I'm not sure, sorry :').
