I was interested in purchasing the Corsair Vengeance RGB 2x8 @3.0Ghz kit for my ASUS ROG Strix B450-F motherboard but I am not sure whether this ram kit is compatible with my motherboard.

This is the item no. of the kit: CMR16GX4M2C3000C16

Hello oreviiedits :)

For a better chance your RAM kit will be compatible with the MB, It's best to select a kit from the MB QVL that have been tested and known to work. Due to the amount of new RAM released onto the market each month it's also important to ensure your Bios is up to date.
Your Memory QVL depends if your CPU is first or second gen Ryzen.
Here is the link to your support page: https://www.asus.com/au/Motherboards/ROG-STRIX-B450-F-GAMING/HelpDesk_QVL/

To help you understand the nomenclature of RAM kits, here is a post by raisonjohn and is very helpful in terminology.
