So I am installing a ryzen 5300g on this board and would prefer to stick with gskill since it's cheap and usually pretty good. I checked the qvl and after searching for it it seems to be some old sticks and keeps pulling up a kit of 4. I just want 2x8 16gb. Would prefer cl16 and around 3200mhz. Finding the proper kit for my am5 board was pretty easy, but there appears to be a ton of options for ddr4, and it's a bit confusing. Does anyone know of a kit or type of gskill that has a 90% chance of working even if it's not on the qvl. Or another brand would work of it's a reasonable price.

QVL indicates the supplier has personally verified its performance. Standard quality components can suffice.

You checked that one before. It's on Amazon, so if it doesn't show up, you can always send it back.

3200 isn't an unreal speed, so the likelihood of it failing is low. If you go with that speed, I'd choose the link you mentioned to save $4 and avoid a big heat spreader issue. G.skill is definitely a good brand.

It seems like you're considering a different approach to the project. You're thinking about taking a risk and opting for a cheaper option, while also reflecting on past experiences with DDR5 issues. It sounds like you're weighing the pros and cons carefully.

The new ddr5 standard introduced challenges since both the technology and CPUs were still emerging, increasing instability. For DDR4, a 3600 frequency should work fine without major issues. Still, the 3200 CL16 remains a solid choice.

I’m planning to pick up that 35 dollar kit. I just calculated it and it comes out to 683 before Nas drives, lol. Still cheaper than buying one, and I think it’ll be pretty cool even though some folks here are warning me against this approach.
