Ensure it functions properly
I intend to upgrade my Intel 6850kl to 4.5 with the MSI Extreme Gaming Intel X99 LGA 2011, Corsair DDR4 3000 Vengeance LX 64 GB, 8 sticks of RAM, and SLI 8GB of OC. I also plan to run a lot of video rendering. Would this memory be suitable or should I downgrade to DDR4 2666 for safety?
Of course, this will work. The maximum speed it can reach using XMP depends on your motherboard, which in your case is the MSI Extreme X99 that supports up to 3400 MHz according to the MSI website. Your 3000 MHz should run smoothly if you turn on the XMP profile in the BIOS. As far as I understand, faster RAM can improve performance with certain rendering programs and other workstation tasks, so you might want to consider a high-speed 3000 MHz setup if you're interested. Hope this clears things up.

What you're asking about is clear—this memory will function properly. The maximum speed it can reach via XMP depends on your motherboard, which in your case is the MSI Extreme X99 that supports up to 3400 MHz according to the manufacturer's site. Your 3000 MHz should work as long as you enable the XMP profile in the BIOS. Generally, higher RAM speeds improve performance with certain rendering tools and workstation applications, so a faster 3000 MHz setup could be beneficial if you're interested. Hope this clears things up.
