" rel="nofollow - I'm wondering if the RAM kit listed below is compatible with the motherboard I listed below? If not, what's a good X370 board alternative that will support the RAM I've listed? Thanks!

most people decide on a board and then choose ram to match

choosing ram and then finding a board seems a little unconventional to say the least

however
heres my 2 cents

ALL rgb ram is a headache to get working correctly
all rgb ram runs a greater risk of errors with data (early ryzen + rgb kits got corrupted ram firmware some failed after a day or so either just the lighting or some even with the rams firmware settings)
and the choice of 3200 cl16 means you wont get samsung b dies as a rule with gskill
3200 cl14 and cl15 will get samsung b dies

" rel="nofollow - I was going to get the board I listed, but then realized the RAM might not work. I only bought the RAM first because it was on sale.  I believe the RAM I listed has a Hynix M-Die, right? That's supposed to work fine with Ryzen CPU's, I just need to know if it's compatible with the board, or if I need to choose a new board. If needed I could return the RAM and purchase a compatible set.

possibly hynix a dies

as for board choice recent bios updates mean we dont really see any flat refusal to work now

its the ability to obtain what speed and what timings that vary now

there is a program/tool thats become available now that is helping vastly to get the ram working nice and stable and at more like expectations for performance

the chance of someone here having the exact same board and ram kit is slim

any one doing so still will have issues proclaiming its 100% going to work with your ram/board and cpu

hence my initial point the best bet is either qvl list or samsung b dies
