Could someone please recommend a high-performance 4x4 GB DDR4 RGB memory that would work well with the ASUS Maximus IX Hero Z270 motherboard?

Most of the 16GB DDR4 dual channel kits I've seen are 2x8GB, but I'd like to fill all four slots for aesthetic purposes.

All RAM will run at 2133MHz if you dont enable XMP. Doesn't matter if it's 4133 or 2400MHz, they all run at 2133MHz by default. Overclocking is as simple as pressing a button in your BIOS though.

2x8 is preferable to 4x4 but there isn't really a difference and you'll be fine whichever you choose.
RGB RAM is only just being released.

You can get cooling fans for Dominator Plat that are RGB, but the RAM itself is still new. I'd get a static colored one and save yourself some money. You can use other things for RGB lighting.

Will running two dual-channel kits of 16GB (4x4) instead of 2x8 GB modules affect performance in any way?

And what's the fastest memory that I can run in the ASUS Maximus IX Hero without overclocking?
