Thanks man! Another thing, if you don't mind, The ram i got (HX421C14FR/16) is not listed in the asus page of that mobo but i was told that those lists only includes models that the company had personally tested and i shouldn't have any problems with my ram, is it true? If so, does it also applies to everything non-listed there? Like SSDs?

Yes, that ram should work as well. You are correct about those lists only containing ram that has been personally tested, so those are the only ones guaranteed to work by the manufacturer (they won't recommend untested ram for liability reasons). However, as long as it is ddr4 and the supported speed, you should be good. That ram even says that it is optimized for the x99 boards.
