Check if your RAM model is supported by your system.
I’m assembling a new PC and need to check if the RAM I’m considering fits with my motherboard and CPU. I’ve looked at a few options that seem to match: TEAMGROUP T-Force Dark Z DDR4 16GB Kit (2x8GB) at 3600MHz, and Crucial 16GB Ballistix DDR4 3600 MHz UDIMM Gaming Memory Kit. Both should work with your Gigabyte B550 Aorus Elite and Ryzen 5 3600.
Don't stress about the QVL list for the board; in the worst case you might need to put in some effort to reach the advertised speeds—but that's all. If you're only working with these options, opt for a 3600 cl16 kit; it'll outperform the cl18 3600 kit.
