Hi all,
I just want to share my experience with my latest build. i will try to keep it short. I tried to make a zen3 desktop that would be full of RGB effects..
While i was looking for memory i found these dimms from TEAMGROUP XTREEM ARGB i got the part of TF10D416G3200HC14BDC01 since that was the best i could find and i had read that for zen3 better get the lower latency.

I was in for a bad surprise. These DIMMs work allright but the RGB effects do not work properly. the main body is TOO dark compared to the letters and there is almost no color!!!

I went online, went to youtube to search videos of people who used, i contacted all reviewers or people who had made comments about the ram. I show pics of builds where the ram worked all right!!! some even emailed me their latest photos.
I asked for RMA from teamgroup but i wanted to be sure the new memories would work fine so i wouldn't lose time. I thought that 4 DIMMS not to work properly there must be a mistake with the MOBO and not the DIMMS. i tried everything Teamgroup told me to do regarding software and what other people wrote to me online. Again no result.
It wasn't a problem with Aura because even before the Aura software kicked in the brightness was too low.
Then i tried the DIMMS on an older motherboard from MSI. you can see that here the DIMMS are lighted perfectly as they should.

I understood there is something wrong with the motherboard. I asked for the vendor to return the DIMMS but he didn't accept since he told me the RAM works perfectly and he only brought it for me. I contacted asus and i found out that the specific PART NUMBER is not part of QVL TF10D416G3200HC14BDC01.

my question is WHY the **** there rams are working OK on a Mobo from 2016 and not on a 2020 motherboard???? what can i do? any ideas?
