I've been reading a bit and I'm kinda disappointed, it turns out my RAM may not be compatible at the speeds I bought it for? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820232275 G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3333 (PC4 26600) Intel Z170 Platform Desktop Memory Model F4-3333C16D-32GVR I got that RAM because the specs said, I believe, the mobo supported up to 3333? I've heard some people say to up the voltage on the ram/CPU (which is Turbo Boosted to 4.2ghz) so it wil work -- where do I do that? Thanks for any help!

Wow. Me bad. Sorry for the late reply.

Unfortunately G.Skill doesn't show your F4-3333C16D-32GVR kit as compatible with your motherboard. They are very very good of listing what sticks/kits will work on what motherboards.

See the below link for what G.Skill themselves have tested and guarantee compatible with your Z170 Pro4S.

Also, it should be mentioned that with a compatible high speed kit, that in and of itself doesn't guarantee you'll be able to run the sticks at their rated speed. ie: The silicon lottery and the kahunas to push serious voltage into a few sections of your board. Never mind a worthy cooler and fans to cool said voltages away from various components of the motherboard.
