Hello Community,
I have a question regarding what ram to use for a potential build in the next month or so.
I am contemplating purchasing an ASUS Sabertooth Z170 S http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813132715&cm_re=asus_sabertooth_z170_s-_-13-132-715-_-Product), and the new Skylake i7 6700k. I would like to use this board because of its durability, and surprising overclocking potential.
I'd like to have at least 16gbs of RAM total, and after referencing the memory QVL for the motherboard, I have noticed most of the recommended RAM kits are quad channel (4gb*4) for frequencies above 2666.
The main question I have is whether or not I will have any issues using a quad channel kit in a dual channel board. I am thinking of using the following memory.

Thank you in advance!
