RAM upgrade for Z270i

[Hein]

Hi Guys,

I currently own an ASUS Z270i mITX motherboard... Can I check if I am able to buy a latest RAM module to fit into it? I am planning to upgrade the RAM for now that I will be able to use in an AM4 build in the future.

Am looking at Corsair LPX 3600 or G Skill Sniper C 3600.. I don't mind running these at lower speeds for now.

The mentioned RAM are DDR4 and will work in an AM4 build.

Do note that we will be moving to DDR5 in 2022.

Thanks.. Can I also confirm they will fit on the Z270i and work?

You can check the memory QVL for your particular motherboard to be sure but should be able to work.

Thanks....

This also adds in to the confusion.... From the link below:

It seems that the motherboard supports CORSAIR Vengance LPX 8Gb sticks.. Still not sure if it is risky to get the 16Gb sticks..... Any thoughts on this?
