Hi, Been looking at these for an upcoming 2950x build. No one lists compatibility, why not? Is there an issue with the X399 chipset for these timings? Would these work? QVL for the board lists the CMU32GX4M4C3000C15 kit (Vengeance). This runs at the same speed ratings and voltages, I can only conclude that it's a lack of testing. Unless I'm missing something about compatibility of X399/2nd gen thridripper with dominators?? Sounds weird, but sounds weird for several grand makes me want to question first, pay later. Bonus points, kinda curious what these look like benched if anyone has results/links. Specs Otherwise if you're curious: Asus X399-A 2950X Quadro 4000 RTX CMT32GX4M4C3000C15 (4x8GB kit) 970 Evo Plus 500GB 240mL AIO Lian Li PC-011 Dynamic

They aren't widely favored by players, making it tough to locate reliable performance data.

Motherboard memory compatibility sections are often unclear and may not accurately reflect real-world performance because manufacturers can't verify all available dimming options.

Absolutely, it's hard to judge without firsthand experience. Plus, how could a gamer spend 1800AUD on a card that underperforms compared to more affordable options?

Sounds logical, particularly when the variation between several SKUs comes down to lighting and heat spreader choices.

Essentially, they use identical firmware and BIOS, with only minor visual differences in the UEFI interface.
