No, G.Skill Trident Z is not compatible with Ryzen processors.
Hello! Your setup involves a Ryzen 5 3600, an asrock B450 steel legend, and 16GB of G.Skill Trident Z RGB RAM. When comparing the options, the site lists a GZTRX for AMD and a regular GZRX for Intel. It seems the choice between them might depend on compatibility with your Ryzen model rather than just performance gains—pairing the X version with Ryzen could offer better results.
Review your motherboard's trusted vendor list and confirm if 3600 speed is suitable for your Ryzen processor. Would you like to proceed with that?
Discussed memory overclocking for a B450 board, though it wasn't the best choice compared to X570. Just finished hearing from that guy and found some useful tips.
It's true, B450 isn't the best choice for overclocking. Since this is my first PC build, I'm sticking to a lower budget to avoid replacing my existing Dell T3500.
There are many TridentZ options available, but the newer Trident Z Neo stands out. It's built for Ryzen processors and is roughly half the price of Samsung B-die memory sticks. I installed 32GB of 3600Mhz CL16 RAM and everything functioned flawlessly. All I needed was to apply an XMP profile.
