Hi, I recently chose to upgrade my old CPU because Windows 10 won't support it anymore by the end of the year. I purchased new RAM (TeamGroup T-Create expert), a motherboard (Gigabyte B650 eagle), and a CPU (Ryzen 5 7600). I assembled everything, but it didn't boot. Initially, it seemed like a RAM issue, so I took it to a shop who confirmed the Corsair model wasn<|pad|>'s were unsupported. I ordered Corsair Vengeance modules, which are listed as supported. That helped, but it still didn't work at first. Thanks to a friend, I managed to fix it by clearing the CMOS and installing RAM one stick at a time. The fix worked with both the Corsair kit and my original RAM, but I'm worried about long-term stability since the original setup was better (CL36 instead of CL30) and the Corsair version is cheaper to return. What do you think? I don’t have much experience with this, thanks in advance for your help.

I've never purchased kits that match the official list; they usually only evaluate a limited number of available kits at motherboard launches and then stop updating with larger options. You're correct—the CL30 kit should offer marginally better performance compared to the CL36.
