Question 1

If I wanted to add another 32 gig could I just add a second set in the future?

Accepted Answer

That depends on your motherboard. If you have four slots for RAM and your motherboard and OS can handle it then yes. I would check the documentation for your Mobo and i know Windows 10 supports 64Gb

Question 2

work with Asus Maximus Viii extreme z170?

Accepted Answer

Go to Asus .com/Support and go to their QVL list and see if the Corsair name and model number are in that list. This is really the best way you can be sure that if their are issues on startup, it will not be the incompatibility between the ram you selected and the board. Remember most new boards need the BIOS flashed before you star loading windows and that board has a back flash that allows for flashing the board before you even have components installed. So many here on this site consider there selves experienced pro techs after a dozen builds or so and they do not know the basics like the QVL list for ram and flashing your BIOS before you even load up your system. PSU and memory get sent back more often than they should because so many people just put together the parts and hope for the best. Parts Picker site is a good site to follow for all the other parts as well as Jay2cents and Linustech on YouTube are two excellent video sites that pretty much know what they are doing. This handle is my wife's name. I have been on computers since the mail order days in the early 80's plus a computer and exotic computer business, and tech training in Vocation school years ago helped my experience levels but I am still learning from the young guys to help me along also. No one no everything. Experience is the best teacher but there other ways to help all beginners ,mid-level and even high level once in a while. If ever you need help I am always here. If this memory is in the QVL list for Asus Maximum VIII Extreme you will not be disappointed. It is stable as it gets. But if is not you will increase your chances of it giving you problems and you will think it is the Ram, motherboard or PSU when all it is was, incompatibility.

Question 3

How will this Ram work with my MSI X470 GAMING M7 AC AM4 AMD X470 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 ATX AMD Motherboard? I am using the AMD RYZEN 7 2700X 8-Core 3.7 GHz Processor?

Accepted Answer

I had two sticks of this on an ASUS B350M ($68.00) with an R5 1600X. On a cheap board with the original bios it booted at 2133C15. One click in the bios to DOCP it bootedat 2933C15.   A year latter on an ASUS Zenith Extreme Dual Channel it booted 2133C15. One click in the bios to DOCP and one click 3000MHz it booted 3000C15. This kit is about as high as you can go without buying much higher priced Samsung B-Die.

Question 4

is this good for 300 series mobos?

Accepted Answer

Yes  CORSAIR Dominator Platinum 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3000 is compatible to  Intel 100 Series,Intel 200 Series,Intel 300 Series.
 for more information please check the corsair site.

Question 5

In pairing this with an i7-7700k and an ASUS Maximus IX Code MB would it be better to go with 2x16 GB sticks or 4X8 GB sticks?

Accepted Answer

2x16 is what I have currently and works great.  Also gives me the ability to add later down the road.

Question 6

Is this RAM's clock speed (3000MHz) fully utilized with the new ASUS Prime X370-Pro AM4 for AMD RYZEN? or is it lower?

Accepted Answer

Negative. You can only go up to 2400 on that board with this RAM. I've been talking to ASUS support all morning and they seemed unaware of the issue. We tried several things to no avail and said he would create a ticket.  I'd go with a different RAM. Corsair just doesn't seem to work well with this mobo. Even when trying 2666, the computer won't POST.  I had to use a jumper to reset. I'm using the latest X370 Pro AM4 BIOS 0604 (released 4/10).  Frustrating...

Question 7

Hi, I need help

I just bought this memory and the ASRock Fatal1ty Gaming X99X Killer motherboard and it's doesn't work's; I try everything without any luck, I think that there are not compatible, but I love to use Corsair memory’s in my PC. Can someone help me to select an excellent board to work's with this memory’s.?

Thanks

Accepted Answer

I suspect it is due to their size. These modules are 16GB each. The memory compatibility list for your motherboard can be found on the asrock website. Google "asrock x99x memory compatibility" and click on the link titled "ASRock > Memory QVL" Then find your motherboard in the list and click on the link. I tried to paste the URL but Newegg won't let me do it.

You would need to stick with what's on that list and probably use this model of corsair memory: CMD32GX4M4A2800C16

Even my Asus Rampage V Extreme/3.1 technically doesn't even support it. I bought two of these kits in anticipation of ASUS adding support for it to the BIOS but it is possible I may never get the full capacity. Ironically, the Asus board actually did pick up the full 64GB, at least in the BIOS, prior to my upgrading to the latest BIOS at which point it reduced recognized RAM to 32GB (half the size of each module.)

The Asus seems to handle it OK and just use what it can. My guess is the ASRock isn't quite as graceful about it and unable to deal with the unsupported size. If you want 32GB you will have to step down to 4x8GB.

Question 8

Does this memory work with the new Z170 MB "Classified" from EVGA?

Accepted Answer

from the MB product page specs, yes, this memory, 288 pin ddr4,  will work, up to 64 GB. I would suggest purchasing the 32GB memory package 2x16. you could always add another 2x16 if you wanted to destroy the universe or something alike. IE: 32GB should be more than a gaming computer would ever need unless you wanted to set aside a huge RAM disk, not sure this MB supports w/out reading further.

Memory
Number of Memory Slots: 4×288pin
Memory Standard: DDR4 Up to 3200MHz+
Maximum Memory Supported: 64GB

Question 9

is this compatible with Asus Zenith Extreme x399 motherboard?

Accepted Answer

It would probably work at stock speeds, but I bet it'd give you issues when you try to turn on the XMP profile.  Go with a 3200 or 2666 kit instead of this.

Question 10

Want to know if this will fit in an ASUS Maximus IX Code Z270 MB?
Corsair Website doesn't even mention the new Z270 MB's.
Thanks

Accepted Answer

That's a good question. Looking at ASUS' memory listing, they have the 4x4G of the Dominator ram (CMD16GX4M4B3000C15), and the 2x16G of the regular Vengeance listed (CMK32GX4M2B3000C15). I don't see any reason why these chips shouldn't work other than possibly this particular chipset may not have been tested and verified by ASUS. I run these on a Maximus VIII Hero and they work like a charm.
