A newbie here so not sure if this is the right area.

Just bought an ASRock z590 Steel Legend Wifi 6 with Intel i5 11600k

Am looking at installing Corsair ?�CMH64GX4M4D3600C18W

I can't find reference to this in the QVL list...

Will this RAM work?
Any advice appreciated

The memory controller is integrated in the CPU, it is not on the baord, and optimal speed is 3200MHz

There is no overallperformance increase above that speed, only a synthetic benchmark program will show betetr results, but it will not reflect in betetr overall performance of the system, that is a hype.
Corsair is a assembler, not a true memory manufacturer, they don't manufacture the chips or PCB's themselves.
Personally I always have good results with patriot Viper DDR4
