So I'm trying to plan out an X99 build and I'm tempted to go Designare EX to use DDR4-3600 speed RAM, but I check out the QVL and notice they really only have G.Skill there, and only one part. The bonus is that it looks like it's validated for all 8 slots which will work out great since I'm going for a CAD / Virtualization / Gaming combo machine (not at the same time but at 64 GB of memory I'm pretty sure I'll at least try!)
Thing is that the specified part, F4-3600C15Q2, seems to be unobtanium. So this suggests to me either this board can't really do 3600 except with very rare golden-sample memory or that since chips able to run at 3600 might also run at higher speeds, they might opt to sell them under a faster, more expensive, rating (perhaps with a higher CAS latency).
Am I overthinking this? Would I be ok grabbing something faster anyway even if it's not on the list?
