Ryzen + RAM Question

By all accounts, Samsung B-die is the one to get with Ryzen. My understanding is that Samsung B-die = Samsung B-die, regardless of whether the marketing says “For AMD” or not. Overclockers seem not to have seen any difference between them anyways. And 16GB 3200 @ CL14 = Samsung B-die.

One advantage of sticking to QVL is it makes it easier to deal with support/RMA. I had issues with my C7H and Asus support asked for my memory model. They mentioned it’s not on the QVL, but when I said I had done extensive memory tests with no errors, they let it go and said then it’s likely the board is faulty. YMMV. Details at Asus Crosshair VII Hero WiFi VS Asrock X470 Taichi But again, you might not find any 2X16GB at 3200 on QVL.
