They aren't listed on either website as being compatible with each other, but i've read that generally any ddr4 RAM should work with a z170 motherboard, and pcpartpicker listed them as compatible. Have the manufacturers just not tested them together?
 
Solution
Yes they'll work, GSkill and a couple of lines of DRAM aimed at the z170, the Ripjaws V and the TridentZ lines, their secondary timings are a little more optimized for dual channel operations

well, it's a bit late for that considering both are sitting in front of me right now, the only thing yet to come in is the case.

Ah, well, i can always swap it out later. Just wanted to make sure it wouldn't go boom.
