You need to flash the BIOS for the higher speed memory  or load XMP Profiles, X99 has support for only 2666? (Maybe 2800 i cant remember), [but ram speed really makes super little difference to X99 for 99.9999% of things] out the box.

Hi everyone,

Just tried to install some corsair Vengeance LXP (CMK16GX4M2B3000C15) on the Asus deluxe X99 motherboard and i'm getting a RAM error. The RAM LED is constantly on and i get constant reboots when i click the MemOk! Button. Does anyone know if it is incompatible with X99? as it says made for skylake on the box. Or if there is anything i can do.

You may have to XMP the 8gb then plugin the rest.
