DDR4 Corsair dominator platinium 2x16GB 3200MHz + Asus Maximus viii formula (compatible???)

[maxence333]

Hi,

I'm currently building a new gaming pc. I was wondering if the DDR4 Corsair dominator platinium 2x16GB 3200MHz is compatible with the Asus Maximus viii formula motherboard. I will be using a intel i7 6700k. I saw a couple building videos using those specs (BitWit with the Nzxt s340 elite case). However, i read a couple forum posts saying that people were having issus with this match.

I'm now asking you for help and hoping you can guide me with a better selection of DDR4 if it isn't compatible. (I really like the aesthetic of the dominator. I'm trying to do a black build)

Thanks a lot

It will be fine, but those DIMMS are kinda expensive, and you could just go with something like the hyperx fury black, unless you really like those.

Thanks a lot! I know my motherboard as a dual channel architecture. Would a 4x8 gb be the same as a 2x16 gb configuration?

You wont see any difference in performance numbers, just go with the 2x16 so then you have room for an upgrade later on, unless you plan to never upgrade, as 4 dimms may look a little better in the board IMO.
