Could someone recommend me fast +2666 compatible ram for this motherboard? I plan on using a Noctua NH-U14S so best to be low profile. Would these corsair vengeance lpx 16gb 3000mhz ddr4 work? Thank you.
 
Solution
CORSAIR Vengeance LPX 16GB (4 x 4GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 2800 (PC4 22400)

QUAD Channel kit for X99.
Corsair would likely work fine, long as you get it in a pack with matched sticks. Something that will definitely work (or should), is G.Skill Ripjaws 4 Series (blue colored). Check it on pcpartpicker, also u can check the qvl list from asrock. 2x8Gb quad core stick pack, or 4x4Gb, should work fine. It's really strange that people have had problems using the red colored version of this same ram on the Extreme4 and up boards, though it works fine on the Fatality series(which is themed red).

Would these work? https://tweakers.net/pricewatch/458074/corsair-vengeance-lpx-cmk16gx4m2b3000c15.html

Considering they are quite cheap and fast compared to the others which cost more? They are not on the list tho http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/X99%20Extreme4/?cat=Memory

They are 30euro more expensive and slightly slower, I will be mainly gaming and was told quad channel has virtually no benefit.
