Memory for X99-SLI

Looking to push forward my X99 grade, what memory people recommend for this board (with xmp preferably).
Read about this board being a bit fussy so trying to find the best bang for buck memory that works

Gskill is solid and so is corsair.

Boards maybe capable of running fast RAM but the memory controller in CPUs also need to be good enough and they do vary between cpu just like overclocking headroom does.

Thanks stulid, how about https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-058-TG&tool=3
I notice OC sell that with one of the bundles, I know it doesn't have xmp but I guess I can just dial in the settings.
Would love the g skills but out of stock and I wanted to tomorrow

they worth waiting for?

I have read that those don't have XMP available.

Shouldn't make a difference at XMP, most sticks should do 2400 of some variety

Thanks for the help all but I've decided to keep hold of the old rig for the moment. I can't justify it when my machine does fine at the moment (damn upgrade bugs...)
