Hi,
I normally fill my slots with the most memory I can when building a rig. In the case of the Z170's (mine is a M8H) it is said they will support 64GB. I am considering getting 32G for now, and another 32 later. But I can't find 16GB sticks that are rated faster than, maybe 2400.
I know as there gets to be more memory and larger sticks on a motherboard you can't speed it up too much, and I can certainly buy some 16GB @ 2133 and try to overclock them. But how far will I get? All the reviews I've seen so far show 16GB (4 x 4GB) kits.
If anyone knows vendors who sell the 16GB single sticks for Z170, let me know. Also, please let me know if you have seen reviews or benchmarks of 64GB builds on Z170 (hopefully ROG) MBs.
Thanks,

P.S. PM me if sending vendor info is frowned on in open forum.
