Hey, I purchased a Gigabyte B450M DS3H motherboard and a Ryzen 5 3600 processor. I need to get new RAM and plan to overclock it. I came across a GEIL model with a good deal, but I want to find out if it's a reliable product and if overclocking is straightforward and safe. The RAM you mentioned is a GeiL DDR4 8GB 3200MHz Super Luce RGB Black. Thanks!

No problem, Geil has been in the game since the DDR era. (Not DDR2, 3, or 4!)

In a fairly recent article from gamersnexus, they evaluated Ram Kits and overclocking with Ryzen, revealing that the Geil Kit was acting poorly due to compatibility problems that remain unclear. I wouldn’t trust it unless these concerns are fixed.
Personally, I use Crucial Ballistix Sport LT 3000 Cl15 @ 3800 16-16-19-34 with my B450 and 3700x. I highly recommend these kits if you’re prepared to manually overclock your RAM.

I reviewed the video and confirmed the Geil RAM doesn't fit well with that mother. I looked through the QVL for the B450M by Gigabyte and found a Corsair Vengeance LX 3200 compatible with the Ryzen 3000 series. I think I'll choose that instead since the Ballistix Sport isn't listed in the mother's QVL, making it hard to decide which option is better.
