ROG MAXIMUS XIII HERO! It supports128GB Ram! Yet there are no 128GB 3200MHz Ram sets in the QVL list...

There is only one 3200GHz 4x32 128GB Ram set in the Asus QVL list and that is G.SKILL F4-3200C16Q-128GTZN

However on the G.Skill QVL list for this particular Asus card, that particular Ram set doesn't come up!?

Corsair QVL list doesn't have anything for Asus card in 3200GHz 4x32 128GB configuration either... What's going on?

I have a chip that provides 3200MHz the card is advertising 3200MHz in 4x configuration, but I have to settle for 2666MHz?

It's just silly...

QVL's are to certify that the rams were used during the testing phase of the motherboard while it was in their labs prior to launch. If every ram kit on the market was in the QVL, the board wouldn't have seen the light of day(release). You're better off making sure that the BIOS is up to date on the motherboard and that you pick the ram that you want to drop into the motherboard.

Seems like these what I can get according to Asus! As far as Corsair goes... We don't know... I'm waiting for a response...

VENGEANCE LPX 128GB CMK128GX4M4D3600C18 (Ver3.44)
4x32GB 3600MHz Micron 18-22-22-42 1.35V Socket 1,2

VENGEANCE® LPX 128GB CMK128GX4M4E3200C16 (Ver3.41)
​
(4 x 32GB) DDR4 DRAM 3200MHz C16 Memory Kit - Black
4x32GB 3200MHz Micron 16-20-20-38 1.35V Socket 1,2,4

VENGEANCE® RGB PRO 128GB CMW128GX4M4E3200C16 (Ver3.44)
4x 32GB 3200MHz Micron 16-20-20-38 1.35V Socket 1,2,4

I don't know which one exactly... Also, those 'Ver. numbers' making me uncomfortable... I can't utilize those unless I buy them directly from Corsair...
