I have G.Skill F4-3200C14D-16GTZRX memory and I am unable to run it at 3200MHz therefore I've contacted Asus Support but have been told that my memory is not listed on the QVL.
On the Asus ROG forums I've been told several times that my memory IS on the QVL for the Asus Crosshair VI Extreme motherboard.
The third line of the QVL lists F4-3200C14D-16GTZ as compatible and running at 3200MHz.
I am I right in the assumption that my G.Skill F4-3200C14D-16GTZRX modules can be for all purposes of the QVL considered to be the same and at least as compatible as the F4-3200C14D-16GTZ listed?
According to your FAQ here http://www.gskill.com/en/faq/DRAM_Memory
under "What is G.SKILL memory’s naming convention/nomenclature?"
the prefix F4-3200C14D-16GTZ fully determines the memory type (i.e. the Samsung B-Die chips used)
the R at the end only declares that the memory provides RGB LEDs
the X at the end only declares that the memory is "Optimized for the AMD Ryzen"
I believe that neither RGB light nor "Optimization for Ryzen" makes the same memory chips less able to run at 3200MHz or less compatible with Asus Crosshair VI Extreme. Quite on the contrary I expect the memory with the X suffix to have been more thoroughly tested for Ryzen compatibility and thus expected to be running at least as good if not better as the non-X modules.
