Just received 16g (8Gx2) of Gskill FlareX DDR4-3200 ram. Works great with the Asus Crosshair VI mb. Just enable D.O.C.P. standard and presto 3200 ram speed.:)

Cool. I'm planning on a Ryzen R7 1700, Crosshair VI Hero & 2 kits of G-Skill Flare X DDR4 3200 ram down the road.
I probably won't start getting the parts until this year's Christmas sales start. Then I'll get the cpu. The mobo and ram some time in 2018 and a EK Water Blocks AM4 bracket for my EK-XLC Predator 240 1.1.
Probably won't do the upgrade installs until fall 2018 when all AM4/Ryzen bugs are fixed.
My Asus Crosshair VIII Hero & i5 6600K are good until then.
Doing 2 mandatory ssd upgrades from next month until August as my 2 ssd's are running out of room. I'm going with a Samsung 850 EVO 1TB m.2 and a Samsung 850 EVO 1TB sata to replace my Samsung 850 EVO 500GB m.2 and Intel 530 480GB sata ssd's.
It will take until August for me to have both of them.

What is the difference other than the heat spreader?

If you notice the last letters reference the heat spreader/color only; all else appears the same.

It could be different memory chip manufacturers, it could be a different controller on the DIMMs, different electrical components, who knows? Unless you do a teardown on each or find them online, it is unlikely you will get an answer.

On bios 1001 set it to standard and keeps beeping at boot. I even upped the soc voltage..no dice....

Hmmm, I can't find the 3200 flare.X available to buy anywhere here...
