Looking for some advice in relation to the above. I'm planning to replace my old desktop with a Ryzen 3900x using an Aorus X570 Master motherboard. Thinking of using a Lian Li PC-O11 Dynamic Midi-Tower and adding some "bling" with RGB fans and memory sticks. In the past I've had good experience with Corsair memory so was looking at getting 2 x 16Gb ( or maybe even 2 x 32Gb because I do a lot of heavy video & photo editing with very large files ) Vengeance Pro RGB DDR4 3200Mhz sticks. However, that memory doesn't appear to be on the mobo's QVL which makes me wonder if there could be some compatibility issues.

Any thoughts, or advice, on this build ? I'd especially appreciate any insight from users who have already built a 3rd gen Ryzen / X570 combo. Thanks in advance.
 
The QVL list isn't set in stone. Pretty much impossible for them to test every kit of ram on the market.

If you go with Corsair RGB Ram on a Gigabyte board then you will probably have to use Corsair software to control it as I don't think it is RGB Fusion compatible.

On an Asus board you can use Aura Sync to control it with the Plug in.

If you wanted to switch to an Asus board then the Crosshair VIII is the Aorus Master equivalent.

A few Ram options as well. The Ryzen Tuned Ram is probably a marketing gimmick as there is no obvious difference from what I can see. The 64GB kit is due in on the 6th Dec if you need that much.

Thanks, that's given me some food for thought. In addition to the RGB memory sticks I was planning on using Corsair's iCUE software to control lighting on a HD150i RGB Pro AIO and 9 x ML-120 RGB fans. Doesn't sound like any of the other components would be controlled by Aura Sync, but to be honest minimising compatibility issues is my main concern so I'd be comfortable using an Asus ROG Crosshair VIII and letting iCUE doing the RBG lighting control. I've had good experience with Asus motherboards - in fact thinking about it I think all my previous builds have been either Asus or Gigabyte.
 
Yup, I had considered that case but in the end I've decided on the original Lian Li 011 Dynamic for it's slightly smaller, compact size. I don't think I'll be needing the extra room the newer Dynamic XL affords. If I did, though, I'd definitely get it !
