Thanks, I wasn't sure if it was just marketing or if there was an actual difference. I'm tempted to go for the ryzen tuned version.
 
I have the Corsair LPX Ryzen tuned. 2 x 8GB 3600mhz. I can't get the XMP to work on 2 different motherboards. So I wouldn't put to much faith in the Ryzen tuned.

I was going to say maybe stay away from the Corsair if your going Ryzen. I had a bad time with those but this was back in 2017 using x370 with a Ryzen 1700.

Had no issues with my previous Pro RGB Ryzen tuned set. Current RAM (Thermaltake) isn't on the QVL for the board at all but XMP has worked perfectly. YMMV I suppose.
 
Corsair Vengeance LPX seems to be more problematic than the Pro RGB sets, for some reason, maybe cos they are older.
 
If you can afford it just get samsung b-die starts around £130 various models are b-die, but the sweet spots 3200-3733 anyway from what i've read

but 4400mhz and or b-die i think most 4400 is almost guaranteed b-die ram will get you tighter timings at 3200-3733.

If that dominator is b-die and you don't have ram cooler clearance issues for £109 i'd get that, wont be that price long most b-die I was looking at seemed to be around £130 ish a while back so just went with a cheaper kit.

I'm not up to speed on the differences but i think its no massive gains much better than CL 16 3600mhz unless on very high end gpu like a 2080ti

3600 mhz and lowest timings possible seems way to go probably 3600mhz CL 14 seems the sweet spot maybe 3733 is better in certain scenarios though like high end cards

You are not guaranteed B-Die with any corsair, they use Hynix and Micron too. You literally throw the dice, I only did so because it keeps the colour scheme with my board. As you say, if you really want it, look for something that specifically says it is.

The 2 sets of Patriot Viper Steel 4400Mhz I picked up from elsewhere on Friday (OC doesn't have stock and these were £105 a set) are happily running at 3733Mhz 14-14-14-34 in my new PC. Even better the MSI X570 MAG Tomahawk has a set of RAM Settings to experiment with so it literally took 2 seconds to set up.
