[SOLVED] New board

Solution
Don't get "2 sets", of ANY memory. If you need four DIMMs, then you buy ONE set that comes WITH four DIMMs. Otherwise, it's no different really than buying entirely different memory and trying to run it together. There is a very good chance of it not playing nice together even if it is the exact same kit model.

These are the four DIMM 64GB 3600mhz kits that G.Skill says are compatible with your CPU and motherboard configuration.

,

These are the...
What CPU are you planning to run?
What CPU cooler?
What case and case fans?

These are all considerations for what memory is going to be a good fit based on clearance and compatibility.

I got the dark avenger case, this is the processor i think is best or at least in price range i can a ford, have an idea on graphics card, just need power supply and m.m.2
 
WHAT CPU? I don't see anywhere that you've SAID what CPU, which is what I asked.

What memory you would be best off running depends greatly on what CPU you are going to run.
AMD RYZEN 9 3900X 12-Core 3.8 GHz (4.6 GHz Max Boost) Socket AM4 105W 100-100000023BOX Desktop Processor
didn't realize it didn't past on my last message, this is the CPU, and this is the memory i'm thinking a bought..

G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3600 (PC4 28800) Desktop Memory Model F4-3600C16D-32GVKC, but get 2 sets

There is likely OTHER kits by both companies that CAN work with your board and CPU but these are the kits that are validated, per the memory manufacturer.

That memory is very expensive
 
When you get into running four DIMM configurations, there is a LOT more involved than just plugging in two extra DIMMs. Many systems simply will not run four DIMMs especially not at the default XMP voltage used for a two DIMM kit AND in some cases, not at all if they are very high speed DIMMs without lowering the frequency/speed.

Ryzen is PARTICULARLY bad about this. In fact, if it were me, I'd seriously consider looking at options for 2 x32GB DIMMs rather than any other configuration. It greatly increases the chances that the system will run at that speed and capacity, greatly increases the number of kits that will probably work with it and probably costs less than a four DIMM kit.

It also likely will result in better performance and less stress on your hardware since running four DIMMs tends to significantly increase the stress on the memory controller, which is located in the CPU, and tends to raise the package temperature more than when running two DIMMs.

For example:
