DDR4 for Asus X99-A/USB 3.1

I don't see the Kingston Predator HX421C13PBK4/32 on the QVL list for this mobo. But it's compatible?? I can use without fear?

Yes it will work without issues. QVL lists are not definitive. MB manufacturers can't possibly test all teh ram that's on the market.

it's alright there's a kingston memory being tested which means it's compatible , just make sure that CPU can handle it with that frequency and capacity.
and make sure that motherboard has 4 DDR4 slots

Any CPU on that platform can handle that frequency and capacity. And that Asus MB has 8 memory slots that work in quad channel.

Yes, it does. Is a 5820K

One more doubt: I saw a Kingston Hyperx Predator 32gb (4 X 8gb) 3000mhz , that is much more higher speed than a 2133. But I'm concerned about instabilities by using for a long time (I mean, years of use... or 4 hours doing 3D render consecutively).
Is this a real problem? I saw a lot of posts with people complaining about shutdowns/restarts with no reason, and all of them used X99 with memories above 2133MHz.

Well the processor you mentioned does not support that frequency officially , that's a overclock scenario , which means that sometimes there are problems expected if the caution acts not considered (like cooling and other overclock stuff)
in this page you can see that the i7-5820K support 64GB of DDR4 1333/1600/2133: (3000 Mhz not officially included)

Yeah, that's my fear. Happens that I saw the 3000MHz 32GB at the same price of the 2133MHz, but I'm not a fan of oveclock. Maybe I'll do overclock the processor for 4.0GHz, but I saw that is not that simple to put working together both (processor and memory) at high speeds...

It's a crapshot. But if it's the same price, go for it, as high frequency RAM is good for rendering.

You should have no trouble running the faster(3000Mhz) speed ram at the 2133Mhz speed.
