I just got my hands on a Crucial Pro DDR5 RAM 32GB kit (2x16GB) with a speed of 6000MHz CL36, and it's the last piece I need to finish my new build. The packaging mentions that it only works with Ryzen 9000 series, but the product page on Amazon states it supports the 7000 series and above. I'm a bit confused about this compatibility issue, especially since I'm looking to pair it with a Ryzen 7 7800X3D. Can someone clarify this for me?

Yeah, it should work without any issues. Just double-check to make sure it's compatible with your motherboard as well.
Don't stress about CPU-RAM compatibility; focus more on the RAM and motherboard compatibility. If the RAM isn't listed in your motherboard's QVL (Qualified Vendors List), you might run into issues. I had a similar situation where my RAM's XMP profiles weren't stable, but after some manual optimization on timings, I got better performance out of it.
The RAM should work well with your setup. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D is designed to support DDR5, so you should be good to go.
Thanks for the tip! I'll definitely check the QVL list.
