I'm currently putting together my second computer and I've already picked up the ASUS TUF B850 Plus WiFi motherboard. I'm considering getting the CORSAIR VENGEANCE RGB DDR5 RAM, specifically the 32GB (2x16GB) 6000MHz CL36 model. However, I can't find it listed on the compatibility list for my motherboard. Am I overlooking something, or is it genuinely incompatible?

Make sure to check the motherboard's Qualified Vendor List (QVL) for RAM. It's crucial because that list shows what has been tested for compatibility.
Just because a RAM kit isn't on the QVL doesn't mean it won't work. The QVL is essentially just a guideline. Many users have successfully used unlisted RAM, so you might still have a good chance with the Corsair kit.
I looked at the list and saw Corsair Vengeance is mentioned, but my specific model seems to be missing.
