i think there is no such thing as 'incompatible ram'....unless u insert DDR3 to DDR4 mobo........
Those 'incompatible' most likely has something to do with the rated speed and timings or the factory oc rated speed and timings......
unless things changed over the years which I neh play ram for donkey years since 2012....
That's what I thought going into the purchase. I was too taken in by the comments on amazon, in that it work for their ryzen platform. This is what they replied me yesterday;
We do understand for your situation. However, the BIOS update it will be more stable for compatible hardware. As in your inquiry about RAM, if the RAM specification is not listed in the QVL list, we do apologize that it might not be compatible with the motherboard.
If you have any further questions, comments, or concerns please do not hesitate to let us know. We will be more than happy to assist you.
Thank you and have a nice day!
I guess will have to wait for the results of the rma.... Although I really need to get the system up. Maybe I should just get another pair of rams and call it a day, then wait for the system to pay for itself and get TR, which was the whole reason why I went for a 4 piece kit in the 1st place ( The ram is listed in x399 Prime A QVL)
