May 21, 201610 yr NH-U15S and 16GB Corsair Vengeance 3200Mhz quad channel kit (4x4) As Westman said, Skylake is duel channel. Your RAM will be okay, but all slots populated is a bit harder to overclock than two slots populated. I've never known dust in the slots to be an issue personally. I notice you said the NH-U15S... just checking that it wasn't an error. The cooler I was referring to was the NH-D15S. There is no NH-U15S, it's the NH-U14S. If you have ordered the 14S is won't cool as well as the NH-D15S. I'm just mentioning this in case you are overclocking. Whether it was an error or not, the dimensions of the coolers are here, so check that your cooler fits your case... http://noctua.at/en/products/cpu-cooler-retail/nh-d15s http://noctua.at/en/products/cpu-cooler-retail/nh-u14s Ram clearance for the NH-D15S is 64mm in single fan miode. Two fans aren't required for a mere two degrees difference. No point!
May 21, 201610 yr Author Dust was a joke. U was a typo owing to the close proximity to the D. I'm not overly concerned with overclocking. The World is divided into two groups. Those who say "Give me a link" and those that provide the link. WWG1WGA
May 21, 201610 yr The samsung 3200 2x8 c15-15-15 or 14-14-14 kits from G-Skill ar much better kit for Skylake the corsair 4x4 is more for X99 slower kit for the same Money. http://
May 21, 201610 yr Author During my time on AVSIM I have discovered that every choice one makes will be applauded by some and booed by others. The stuff is in the post and will be here on Monday. If it's the wrong kit I'll be damned if I'll notice it. A nanosecond here or there aint gonna register on my eyes. But thanks for your input. The World is divided into two groups.

Ron, Why would you buy a quad core memory for a dual core MB? The thing may not work at all? This is not some difference of opinion of green color is better than blue color.

May 21, 201610 yr Author Because that memory was on the QVL from ASUS. Who am I to argue? Skip to 35 minutes later. Looking at the QVL.. AGAIN I discover that everyone was right and I was wrong. Monday I'll have to send the Vengence back. G-Skill RipJaws V ordered from somewhere else. My head, my head! Apologies if I was starting to get snotty. The World is divided into two groups.

May 21, 201610 yr QVL can be missleading , Its the mems compatible to the MoBo not a real issiue with Z170. But more problem with for example Z77 that support both Sandybrige and Ivy Bridge, Mems on the QVL works on the MoBo but not with all CPUs. X99 gone have some problem with that, wait and see. Good luck with the new system Ron http://
May 22, 201610 yr Author Amazingly, my MB, CPU, cooler and RAM arrived this morning! Sunday! I only ordered the stuff Friday. Got to send the wrongly ordered RAM back. G-Skill should be here tomorrow. The World is divided into two groups. Those who say "Give me a link" and those that provide the link. WWG1WGA
May 23, 201610 yr Often amazes me too, how quick delivery can be. Was it Amazon? I have an Amazon Fire Stick, and so Amazon Prime, get free next day delivery. You wait until Amazon Prime Air is up and running Ron, delivery by drone right on to your drive. If it takes off of course. [Pun intended]
May 23, 201610 yr Author Overclockers.co.uk. I deal with them every time I can but that's been the fastest yet. They didn't have RipJaws so I had to go elsewhere. Drones? I'd be in danger of shooting down my own goods! The World is divided into two groups. Those who say "Give me a link" and those that provide the link. WWG1WGA
May 23, 201610 yr OCUK, Scan, Amazon for me. Good thing is if you can't get it from OCUK or Scan you can usually get it from Amazon.
