DDR4 16 or 32gb required for x99 board

Hi guys.

Can a few of you nice guys spec me some decent kits that are compatible with my Evga x99 micro board please?

Speed wise I'm looking at 2666mhz and either 16 or 32 gb kits are cool.

Would prefer to fill all the mobo slots so I'm wanting 4 stick sets please.

Cheers

Is there a reason you want to fill all 4 slots? or a reason you would need 32gb?

You could use 2x16 gb sticks and have expansion upto 64 in the future if you desired.

Yes, it's a quad channel platform.

Doesn't mean he needs to fill all 4, 90% of use cases wont see any realistic benefit from running quad channel.

Nice backtrack.

The board is capable of quad channel, and it won't cost him any more to find a kit that is verified for the board. It's a quad channel platform no reason not to.
