Runs at rated speed with B450 motherboard

I am upgrading my gaming PC one at a time and these memory modules are part of that multi-step process. I had a hard time selecting this as it wasn't specifically listed in my motherboard's supported memory. But as an avid builder, I tried it and it works. My configuration: Ryzen 9 3900X - 32GB (2X 16GB) G.Skill Trident Z Neo Series 3600MHz C 16-19-19-39 - MSI B450I Gaming Plus AC - MSI Geforce RTX 2080 Ventus OC - no overclocking, processor and memory is ramping up Rated speeds with XMP enabled. First I tried different memory settings, speeds, timings, all of these resulted in crashes. What worked for me was just running it at the default settings with the XMP 1 profile enabled and found that the timings work perfectly at the nominal 3600MHz. I will not bore you with benchmarks and technical details, there is a lot of this information. But I have a real use case that shows a jump in memory speed. I usually have 2 Chrome browser windows with 20 tabs open each for work. When I load all these tabs in 2 windows at the same time, it's very fast than before. We know that Chrome browser consumes a lot of memory, but these memory modules can load 40 tabs (2 windows) at once. So far I am very impressed with these memory modules. The installation and setup in the BIOS was almost automatic and everything works perfectly. Later I plan to buy a B550 or X570 motherboard to get some more overclocking ability. And yes, the RGB lighting is beautiful.
