Memory selection for DDR4 Non-Z OC

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I am wondering what make/model of DDR4 to buy for my next PC build. 
I'm about to order I3-6100 + ASRock B150M Pro4S + 2x4GB DDR4 but I need advice for the memory because I would like to use the DDR4 Non-Z OC feature. 
The official statement is "certain memory sticks, such as Kingston or Samsung memory DIMMs". 
I suppose that I need 2800MHz modules but currently the only available 2800MHz modules at reasonable price are the ADATA  DDR4 2800 XPG Z1 but I dont know if the feature will work with them.
Kingston HyperX 2800 CL14 cost about 10$ more per stick (20$ for 2x4GB).

The cheaper Kingstons that I can order are 2666 HyperX and I suppose that if I use them I will be limited to 2400MHz on "sport" setting. Am I right?

Has anybody tested this Non-Z DDR4 OC feature?
