What quad kit DDR4 above 2666Mhz do you recommend? I know that if I get 2666Mhz it will be Kingston Fury but I'm not sure which ram to pick if I decide to get ram with high MHz. My processor is i7 5820K. the motherboard is Asus X99 -A, the cooler is Noctua NH-D15 and the case is Define R5 windowed so it needs to fit.

Ram speed does absolutely nothing. The most it does give you is bragging rights that you spent more money on ram than someone else.

That's not true. It affects ESPECIALLY Skylake CPUs. Do not spread misinformation. Look at this :

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT 16GB GDDR6 Motherboard: MSI PRESTIGE X570 CREATION
AIO: Corsair H150i Pro RAM: Corsair Dominator Platinum RGB 32GB 3600MHz DDR4 Case: Lian Li PC-O11 Dynamic PSU: Corsair RM850x White
