Memory motherboard compatability question.

[live2game]

Was looking at the MSI Z170A Krait Gaming 3X motherboard. But when I looked at the QVL for memory I could not find the memory I have on the list. I have https://www.amazon.com/Ballistix-16GBx2-PC4-19200-288-Pin-BLS2K16G4D240FSC/dp/B01AG9EZ6E the only one they have on the list close to it  is https://www.amazon.com/Crucial-Ballistix-Sport-DDR4-2400-BLS2K8G4D240FSA/dp/B00MTSWFMM. Would the ballistix kit I have now work or should I look to a different motherboard. the original MOBO I had in mind was the SABERTOOTH Z170 S but figured cost wise the MSI bored would be a safe bet at a bit lower cost.

Should work fine. Any ddr4 dimm should work.

Crucial have their own way of compatibility check http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/compatible-upgrade-for/MSI(MicroStar)/z170a-krait-gaming-3x

the MSI QVL list is partial because MSI will test with some of the kitts on the market and not all

Yeah, most kits will just work regardless, but if there is an issue for whatever unlikely reason you'll just need to return it. But that's like a 0.00001% chance
