Sorry to have to ask you guys but I have researched the heck out of this and checked the compatability charts and I'm still not sure. I just ordered the Gigabyte LGA1151 Intel Z170 ATX Motherboard ATX DDR4 NA Motherboard (GA-Z170X-Designare) for my first Hackintosh and want 32 gigs of ram total. I was going to order the Ballistix Sport LT 32GB Kit (16GBx2) DDR4 2400 MT/s (PC4-19200) DIMM 288-Pin - BLS2K16G4D240FSB. I don't see this on the compatability list but I have seen others say it works. Can anyone confirm? If its not compatable can someone recommend the right ram? Preferably two 16gb so I can expand to 64gb total later. Thanks

This kit is listed on the Mem Support List. Exact same Module P/N.
BLS2K16G4D240
You can ignore the last 3 letters, anything extra after the 0.


The last three letters of the Module P/N only refer to the color of the heatsink i.e.

FSE = Red heatsink
FSB = Gray heatsink
FSC = White heatsink


It will work no problem unless it were defective before you even get it.

Again, I appreciate all the help. Should be assembling my first Hackintosh this weekend thanks to your guidance. Will report back!
 
Great ! take some notes and pics as you go and write it up in either Sierra Desktop Guides or User Builds section.
