will this ram work in this motherboard?

borklazer312 · Jun 18, 2018

im buying this RAM : https://mdcomputers.in/corsair-vengeance-lpx-8gb-ddr4-3000mhz-cmk8gx4m1d3000c16.html

and this motherboard: https://mdcomputers.in/asus-rog-strix-b350-f-gaming.html

on internet i have read that ryzen platform needs very specific ram otherwise it wont turn on??

It'll "work" yes..... potentially just at the JEDEC standard of 2133MHz.

Two things.
1. Check the QVL for the motherboard here:
https://www.asus.com/ca-en/Motherboards/ROG-STRIX-B350-F-GAMING/HelpDesk_QVL/
And buy a kit that is verified for the board, at it's rated speed

2. Ryzen benefits from both "fast" memory (3000MHz+) and dual channel - so opting for 2x4GB rather than 1x8GB is a smarter idea.

Barty1884 :

in qvl CMK8GX4M2B3000C15 is listed but not CMK8GX4M1D3000C16(the one im buying).

So the 2x4GB is verified/tested. The 1x8GB is not.
No guarantees it'll just "work" at the 3000MHz. A good chance, but no guarantees.

The 2x4GB kit is preferred over the 1x8GB anyway.

I would suggest you buy the kit instead. If you're set on buying that, specific part number..... what are you asking?

Barty1884 :

i plan only on gaming, is 3000 mhz+ really important?
besides 2x4 kits are not available. can i put two individual dimms?

Barty1884 · Jun 18, 2018

2x4GB, 2x8GB etc.

Yes, 3000MHz and dual channel is going to be extremely important on a Ryzen platform - especially in gaming.

I can't seem to work that site to find 2x4GB, but cross-reference 2x4GB kits with the QVL (or 2x8Gb, depending on the budget) - it's worth it.
