I am building a new rig and I would really appreciate some advice. I wanted to know whether my chosen ram was compatible. So far, I have:

Asus Z170 Pro Gaming Aura motherboard
Core i5 6600k processor.

I want to add the following ram:
Corsair Dominator Platinum 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) 3000 MHz CL15 XMP 2.0 DDR4 Desktop Memory Kit - cmd16gx4m2b3000c15

However, this particular ram configuration is not listed on the motherboard's QVL (qualified vendors list). Although other Dominator ram configurations are listed, i.e a similar 32GB version. I know that these QVL lists are not always updated very often.

Do you think the ram will be compatible with my system? I'm a noob and would really appreciate the advice. Thanks.

This kit use four 2GB Samsung ICs also use by G-skill Trident Z, it should work, the different only is factory XMP and (some) proprietary EEPROM preset which they set at certain figure.
