Did you ever think that I might have not only checked the Asus website but others as well. I've only been an enthusiast since 1998.
A quick search produced this.......... "According to ASUS, the PRIME Z370-A supports DDR4 memories up to 4,000 MHz. The ASUS PRIME Z370-A has four memory sockets...
If you look at the QVL for memory for that board.... It looks like the memory kit that you picked is not "officially" supported. There are very 32GB modules that board particular supports at ANY speed. You would have to install 4 x 16GB and not 2 x 32GB to have 64GB of usable memory.

I'm probabaly one of those on the bubble. I'm here everyday, read the articles, read the reviews and check out what's for sale. I used to post more under hardware. There was a time when I had played with almost every AMD Black Edition cpu ( AM2, AM2+ and AM3 ). But, I got tired of people telling...
