You're right. Though some Rams have been more compatible than others with this platform.
If they are dual rank, they'll probably not run at 3200, but they are faster anyway so thats not an issue, if they are single rank, they will probably run at 3200Mhz.
In any case: Its probably ok.

I only did a bit of research for RAM. But the Corsair Vengeance 3200 got recommended pretty often.
Same for the G.Skill Tridentz. But those are another priceclass.
@Janz
Yep i will. Like i told Breezer on last page already.
Well, PC runs for now. Though of course i had to had problems again.
- The Asus board has a glued backplate behind the CPU socket.
And my Thermaltake Macho Rev B doesn't fit on it, without removing that glued backplate.
Contacted Thermaletake if they have some longer screws or some other solution - for free. If not, need to look for another cooler again.
For now i had to install the Wraith Spire.
- And near the end when i was cleaning up the cable salad at the back, the cheap china crap LED strip had to break.
Only 1 out of 3 strip-parts works now. Though it was no wonder, as those strips were so thin, and the solder could barely stick to the crappy surface. Which resulted in some circuits leaving the strip.
This makes me even more angry, as i basically wasted several hours just for this shit alone before that happened.
Todo:
- Swap one of the newer HDDs i bought to another one. Keeps vibrating a bit in the case, and its rather loud under work.
- Have two SilentWings left. Will probably switch the preinstalled fron fans out for them.
I could have told you you'd need another backplate for the macho. AM4 has slightly different screwholes. I got one for free aswell. That glued on backplate is a crap move from ASUS though. Nothing like that on my Gigabyte K7.

In the package the correct backplate is included for AM4.
But it seems that a glued on backplate is not so common? Else they could have included for example longer screws.
Not gonna remove that backplate though and void warranty. Will see when and if they answer.
But everything seems to work now.
Overclocked CPU to 3600 for now, to see if really everything is stable. Then increase it to 3700+.
Also going to overclock the (already overclocked) 1080 now, as it seems to bore itself.
Did a Superposition run. And max temps were only 59°C, compared to the 87°C on my MSI 970.
// Well, 3700 @ 1.19V seem stable for now. Tried 3750 in Cinebench and it instantly crashed the PC.
And did some benchmarks comparison of my old and new PC:

Pretty much doubled my performance.
Though the result in Division seems a bit too low IMHO. But couldn't care less, just downloaded it as it came first in mind as a system hungry game.
Will keep this overclocked config for a few days to see how stable it is.
Then overclock at least the GPU more.
Also played Overwatch a bit. CPU usage was just ~10% most of the time.
I know it's an optmized game, but damn, so much unused potential left.
@tonizito
Well, the Asus board was sadly the only one fitting my needs and wants.
Read a bit, and the backplate is really only glued with very light adhesive apparently. Still not sure if i want to remove it, and install the backplate from my cooler. As i also read, that for some people the cooler is not sitting very tight
@paxsali
Asshole
I'm getting another 1700 tomorrow though. Will try to see if that overclocks better. My current one crashes at 3.85GHz @ 1.35V.
Also more blink-blink gets delivered too.
Enthoo Evolv ATX TG // Asus Prime x370 // Ryzen 1700 // Gainward GTX 1080 // 16GB DDR4-3200
First a pic with which master-tool i removed the glued on backplate for my custom cooler:
And the PC:
Really happy with the end result.
Asshole Anti-LEDs boys can keep hating all they want.
Bought 4x40cm LED strips. But 2 are more than enough for the inside of the case.
Will probably use the other two as another passive light behind my monitor.
