Need to choose between:

G-Skill Ripjaws V DDR4-3200MHz CL16 and Corsair Vengence LPX 32Gb C16. Both are, on their respective QVLs, are approved for Asus Strix-E boards.

Which one should I opt for please?

Look at the full list of timings, corsair are good and putting cl16 but the other times been very slack e.g 16 21 21 21 38....

My personal choice would be G-skill I do like there ram and it dose tend to OC, but tbf if the timing of both sets are close buy what ever you like the look of

Does this still stand when I note that G-skill is 2015 and Corsair is released in June 2019?

Date means nothing. Corsair tends to be budget stuff. Can you link to the ram and list speeds on the 2 kits

Here is G-skill. The QVL shows X570 compatibility and Rog X570-E mptherboard

Corsair - I am looking at the 4th one - CMK32GX4M2Z3200C16

Tbf the sticks are close to been the same. The lpx as lower cooler height.

My personal choice would be the G skill but like I said there about the same so take your pick
