They all back your RAM, the QVL list just means they had these memory sticks in testing and will keep checking them when updates happen. If yours aren’t there, it doesn’t mean they’re unsupported—it could be they weren’t available or chose not to test them. Often makers don’t refresh QVL lists soon after a board launches, or only update them with new BIOS versions. Sometimes manufacturers release microcode updates that improve compatibility with certain chips inside the CPU. AMD often does this with their memory controllers. These Corsair sticks are widely used and sold in large numbers, so it’s very unlikely a board wouldn’t support them. You might want the mATX version of b550m Aorus Pro for better value and fewer PCI-E lane issues, avoiding any future headaches.
