Are they really refreshing the site each time a new RAM is released? It seems like they only compiled a snapshot of available models when the Mobo was first launched.

Yea, great tip. Buy parts like RAM at the end, so that you can try them.. All other parts like CPU, GPU, network cards can be checked beforehand for compatibility. I'm saying this for RAM only because it's really complicated for newcomers to understand. (I've experienced this myself)

RAM branding itself as AMD or Intel RAM is a deceptive tactic. It's designed to lure beginners into paying more for "Intel RAM." Remember, RAM performance varies with the CPU. The main concern is compatibility—older generations default to JEDEC standards like 2400MHz. Until recently, Intel would reject speeds above around 2666MHz because they weren't listed. Motherboard compatibility follows a similar pattern (DDR2 → DDR3 → DDR4). Don't worry about it.

Yea, mine Corsair Vengeance LPX 3000MHz 8GB sticks were branded as "For Intel CPUs", but they ran effortlessly on my Ryzen build at the promised 3000MHz. Initially, I too was doubtful whether they would work or not, but the forums members cleared it out. Well said
