MSI Motherboard and RAM compatibility

[Cocopops_1]

Hi there,

I'm about to build a new system and was looking at purchasing either the Z270 Gaming M5 or M7 motherboard. Also looking at purchasing Corsair RAM (Vengeance LED). I checked the ram compatibility for each motherboard.

Gaming M5 RAM compatibility: Vengeance LED (S/N: CMU32GX4M4C3000C15) 32GB (4 x 4GB) is listed in the compatibility list, however, not for 4 DIMM. Does this mean 4 sticks isn't supported but it will still work?

Gaming M7 RAM compatibility: Vengeance LED (S/N: CMU32GX4M4C3000C15) 32GB (4 x 4GB) is not listed in the compatibility list. Does this mean that the RAM will not work with the motherboard or does it just mean there is a very (very) minute chance it may not work?

Also, I checked the motherboard specifications. It indicates its a Dual Memory channel. I'm assuming that doesn't mean you can't use all 4 DIMM slots?

Thanks in advance.

Any help would be appreciated

They probably just don't have tested this specific set
If a 2x8GB and 2x4GB set of that ram works, the 4x4GB set will work as well.
Further more if 2x16GB and 2x8GB work, 4x8GB will do as well

The QVL list are never complete or updated very often , as long as your board and CPU support it , most likely will be compatible.

After doing a bit more research, I purchased 2x8GB Corsair Vengeance RAM instead as there didn't seem much benefit in getting more than 16GB. Thanks again for the responses Much appreciated.
