Question 1

Is the CORSAIR Dominator Platinum 32GB (4 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 memory kit compatible with an ASUS TUF SABERTOOTH Z170 MARK 1 LGA 1151 Intel Z170 motherboard when using a Intel Core i7-6700K 8M Skylake Quad-Core 4.0 GHz LGA 1151 91W BX80662I76700K Desktop Processor?

Accepted Answer

I'm gonna be honest with you. I used the same mobo/cpu/ram combo and it wouldn't post. I asked corsair and asus about it and they both said it should of worked. It's possible that the mobo was DOA but for the price it might not be worth the hassle.

Question 2

Has anyone tried this RAM with Asus prime x370 pro motherboard? Or with AMD RYZEN 1800x?

Accepted Answer

I have this RAM kit running in an Asus x370-pro with a Ryzen 1700,.  The RAM did not start working at the advertised 10-12-12-28 timings until the mainboard BIOS was updated to the newest version, 0805.  Before the version 0805 BIOS, the best timings it could achieve was 12-14-14-28.  With the version 0805 BIOS, the RAM kit seems to be working fine;  though, there is some issue with the Linux kernel and processes segfaulting.  I doubt this issue is due to this RAM kit, as many others have reported the same problem with Ryzen processors, and both a variety of mainboards and a variety of RAM kits.
