I had a ASUS RAM in my old Intel i5 PC (yupp something like that existed too) which has Hynix modules and it was decent. But I got a new Ryzen system which is pickier about chips so my new DDR4 is Corsair LPX just like yours but with Micron chips.
Hynix is a bit slower and less stable if you overclock, for not much money less. I also use say ppl to avoid them, mainly cause the price difference compared Micron/Samsung chips is minimal.
But note that a branded RAM with Hynix chips is still better as crappy RAM modules like Team, GoodRAM or Zeppelin, which god-knows-what they put there.
You will be fine.
It's not something the manufacturer mentions on their spec sheets.
No, Hynix is awesome. They are big supplier of Memory chips and modules to the Enterprise. Many of the systems I support use Hynix (and Samsung) memory.
(I work for a big Software/Hardware Manufacturer famous for their database software
Why is that a mistake?
Bandwagon fallacy. You see alot of people saying alot of crap online, There mere fact that a particular belief might be shared is not proof in and of itself of anything.
See for example, literally every single Religion.
Let your own experiences by your guide. In general, start by simply allowing the memory to auto-configure itself according to it's SPD, that will set itself up to the most optimal value. You can dork around with overclocking later if you really want, but if the memory is not stable at default clocks, that is more likely a result of a BIOS compatibility issue (which may require a firmware update to resolve), or a problem with that particular pair of sticks you've got, and not a commentary on that particular brand or model of memory in general.
As many others have said, stay away from generic/no-name brands, regardless of what brand of memory IC's they use. Not all memory modules are made the same.
Why? Because you said so, or because you have some empirical evidence?
All that really matters is that the modules in use are either on the QVL for a particular board, OR at least meet the boards memory support requirements.
They should be fine with Intel setups, but for ultimate RAM performance you should be looking at Samsung B-Die RAM. Such as A-Data XPG Z1, Trident-Z, some Predators, Dominator, highest end Vengeance etc. There are lists of RAM that use these chips on the web.
All Crucial RAM is Micron, always has been. They are one of the few brands with direct access to Micron chips.
