Hello my freind is upgrading to skylake and we wanted to check if these ram http://www.corsair.com/en/vengeance-led-16gb-2-x-8gb-ddr4-dram-3200mhz-c16-memory-kit-red-led-cmu16gx4m2c3200c16r are fine with his motherboard a MSi z170A Tomahawk..

They dont appear on the compatability list for the MB but lists a similar set the LPX http://www.corsair.com/en/vengeance-lpx-16gb-2x8gb-ddr4-dram-3200mhz-c16-memory-kit-black-cmk16gx4m2b3200c16

Will this work?

Will be fine with a K model CPU. 3200 may require a bit of an OC on the CPU

ok hes getting a 6600k. but why would it requiere cpu oc?

Tradesman1 · Oct 24, 2016

What data rates you can actually run is dependent on the MC (memory controller) of your individual CPU (silicon lottery, not all, say, 6600K are equal). Some may be able to run the 3200 data rate while at stock, other 6600Ks may need an OC to even run 2800 sticks, might see my Fiction article, item 4

that sounds wierd why would 3200mhz even be sold then?? if only 30 % can be sure to run them??

Tradesman1 · Oct 24, 2016

The article was an example and based on DDR3, as far as a 6600K, I haven't found one yet that couldn't run 3200, but as mentioned, many need the CPU OC to help the MC handle it
