You're checking if those DDR5 sticks will fit and function well on your AMD build. Since Corsair lists compatibility with Intel 600/700 series, it suggests they should work with AMD systems too. However, performance gains depend on the specific model and how well it matches your motherboard's support. You won't lose much in terms of speed if everything aligns, but results may vary compared to Intel platforms.
They should function well on an AMD setup. Intel once offered a platform with DDR5 before AMD did, so manufacturers included this type in DDR5 packages to attract users who were unsure about the differences between DDR4 and DDR5. The same pattern occurred when DDR4 was introduced, with RAM being advertised as "Optimized for Intel Skylake."
The main challenge will be compatibility. Many AM5 boards fail to correctly interpret the SPD of XMP modules, making it uncertain if they’ll function. They may still operate under JEDEC standards, but enabling the one-click overclock is unreliable. This issue can be reduced by manually inputting the XMP settings, though since most XMP kits and EXPO kits are priced similarly, you should opt for an EXPO kit.
Unfortunately those were the only ones on sale, and they were really good price. But if it is something I can fix, I'm gonna go with it. Thanks!
