Is this RAM ok with this Motherboard?

only asking as i noticed it said ryzen tuned and my cpu is i5 intel? if its just meant for an extra something for ryzen and wont effect intel cpu then that will be fine but im just not sure!

It will should work fine its just and wont afect the cpu though nothing is gauranteed unless its on the qvl list for the motherboard.

I don't even look at the qv list nowadays. Everything seems to work. Even bought mac optimised ram for my laptop and worked well. No harm in looking though

I think (and I might be wrong) all this tuned for intel or ryzen stuff is a load of marketing bs. I've never seen any benches where the amd stuff runs better on amd

One thing I did hear on here the other day (was it even this thread lol) is that for ryzen 4 sticks is better than 2 for some reason. Must watch that YouTube video haha
