I'm using a Ryzen 5 3600 on an MSI B450 Tomahawk motherboard. I was searching for black/red RAM sticks. I found these options on PC Part Picker: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Nqp323/...c16d16gvrb. On Amazon, the product description mentions G.Skill 16GB (2 x 8GB) Ripjaws V Series DDR4 with 3200MHz speeds. However, when checking the G.Skill website it says the RAM is compatible with my board. It's a bit confusing since one source claims Intel compatibility and another denies it, while the third confirms it should work. What do you think?

ddr4 unbuffered dimms are ddr4 unbuffered dimms. they will work regardless. unless its something special like the new DC (Double capacity) dimms by gskill, they will all work.

I also use G.Skill Ram, though it came with an Intel sticker on the box. It works perfectly on my AMD R9 3900x.

I'm new to assembling PCs, so I made sure I followed the steps carefully.

I configure "special for AMD!!1!11" RAM in my Intel setup, and it cost less than the identical package without the AMD label. Clearly no problem.
