Z370 RAM COMPATABILITY

I am looking at three different Z370 motherboards, these are the  AORUS Z370 Gaming 7 Mobo (240AIO Masterliquid lite included), Z370 PRIME A and STRIX Z370 E/F. I am looking at several different RAM, mainy the Dominator Platinum and LP 16gb kits at 3000 MHz and 16gb of trident Z RGB at either 3.2ghz or 3ghz. I am unable to find if any of these kits are incompatible with these boards. Any help is appreciated

*Side Note* What are your thoughts on the motherboard choices and what is your opinion on the 240MM aio masterliquid lite from Coolermaster?

Thank you for your time :)

So any of the kits will work across all three boards? That's sick

Motherboard selection is bubcus because theyre all Z370 and hella expensive, so right now anyone wanting to use a non K sku has to fork out for a Z series chipset. 

 

The cooler is very meh. There are better options out there
