I'm making an attempt at my dream tower, but some corners sadly had to be cut to make it happen, as I'm sure others have had experience with, but would a chipset of Z170 on my memory matter if my MOBO/CPU are X299? Additionally here is the base of the build I'm making if y'all have any advice for me or things you'd change https://pcpartpicker.com/list/2vGcWX

If it is a quad channel set (four matched DIMMs) then you should be fine. A Z170 is only a dual channel motherboard so a quad channel set is not usually used. The extra load will usually require the RAM to run at more moderate speed.

From what I can tell it's a quad channel kit
