So really quickly, I just have a memory compatibility question as well as some clarifying questions regarding Threadripper. 

 

Background info, intending to run a 1950X Threadripper chip on an Asus Zenith Extreme motherboard. Because across the internet I have heard the crazy cross talk of latency vs clock speed, I am now looking to capitalize in theoretical stability between the two. 

Is Threadripper a chip that favors clock speed, if even only to a certain point?

I have also checked the motherboards QVL for memory but again have heard ludicrous amounts of conflicting thoughts. So for the memory question, does the following kit work on an Asus Zenith Extreme Motherboard with a 1950X Threadripper? 

Spoiler

G.Skill Trident Z RGB F4-3866C18D-32GTZR

Some more info, according to some very in depth users over on the overclock forums, this is a set of Rank 2 B-die memory from Samsung's manufacturing. This is also the kit I am most concerned with. 

Note the QVL for the Asus Zenith extreme did not specify G.Skill above 3200MHz, so I do not want to hear about the QVL, I am interested in real world tests by people who own the components mentioned.

 

Thank you.
