Isn't CL16-18-18-36 actually pretty damn bad? I know the influence is only around 5 percent, but this seems to be getting out of hand recently.
CL on ddr4 is slightly lower but I thought that was down to architecture changes so it's not overly noticeable.
It's nice to see they're doing 4x16GB packs to cater for the matx crowd, that's been pretty hard to find unlike 2 and 8 packs lol
Prices are a bit steep for my pocket at the moment.
One thing though, (running the risk of exposing my ignorance), why is a "Z170 optimised set" consisting of four modules? If the Z170 is dual channel then surely a 'mere' pair of DIMMs would do? And how is that four way set not also eminently suitable for the X99 (which is quad channel)?
Interestingly, (to me at least), the X99 specific kit isn't compatible with some boards - like the Asus boards I've been looking at which, for whatever reason, have a stated memory capacity limit of 64GB.
price increases most likely Personally I'd have said a 4 module pack is meant for x99 due to quad channel but I suppose they're going by memory sockets which is usually 4 on z170.
following on from above it's likely 'meant' for 8 memory socket atx boards rather than those (matx) with just 4.. yeah for some reason everyone seems to be 'forgetting' about the x99 matx boardsInterestingly, (to me at least), the X99 specific kit isn't compatible with some boards - like the Asus boards I've been looking at which, for whatever reason, have a stated memory capacity limit of 64GB.

they looks so ugly
i guess i just have to wait for the SALE!!
I agree that if it was MATX boards then a mem limitation due to form factor seems acceptable, but the ones I've looked at (Sabretooth X99 and X99-Deluxe) are bog standard ATX size. Worse still the Rampage V Extreme specs also say:
And the Rampage claims to be an E-ATX board, so I'm thinking it's not a size issue. Especially as Gigabyte, MSI, Asrock, etc seem to be able to handle up to 128GB.Memory

Just curious, that's all.
Availability of 16gb modules was quite limited (we knew they were coming but there weren't any out) when x99 came out so it's possible that they just stuck to 8gb like the ddr3 days (or copy paste lol). Even those that do (asrock x99m's for example) have a compatibility list with limited 16gb module options.
