Is the Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB DDR4 8GB DDR4 2666MHz memory module (CMK8GX4M1A2666C16R) compatible with the Asus z170 pro gaming.
Does it matter if its low profile.

It most likely is compatible.

Low profiling on RAM basically just means you can use an aftermarket CPU cooler with a large heatsink and it will not block the first RAM slot, with in many, many cases, it will.

Here is the compatible RAM list for your motherboard:

It is on page 20.

It does not say that it is compatible, but many other versions of similar/same RAM are compatible. To me, I see no reason why it wouldn't work, but you can use that list to find another kit that will work if it makes you more comfortable in doing so.
