Does anyone know if this can work on the X99 Classified board.  I thought it was compatible from gSkills website but I think I had the FTW selected instead of the classified.

Welcome to the forums...
 
Did you go back to Gskill's ram configurator and plug in the Classified to see if it's on the list?
 
If it's on the list for the FTW, it will probably work on the Classy.  But of course I couldn't be 100% on that.

EVGA's site list's a similar set for X99 Classy  : C14 instead of C16   I think the KW on the end has to do with color, but not positive.

Gskill's site by motherboard doesn't show it : http://www.gskill.com/en/configurator?manu=60&chip=2276&model=2320
 
Looking it by RAM shows it only for FTW, and specific to B-E

I really think 128GB of memory is over kill and it will put a lot of strain on the memory controller so if you do get this to work I would advise you not to attempt any severe memory overclocking.

AMD Ryzen 9 7950X,  Corsair Mp700 Pro M.2, 64GB Corsair Dominator Titanium DDR5  X670E Steel Legend, MSI RTX 4090 Associate Code: H5U80QBH6BH0AXF. I am NOT an employee of EVGA

Sorry for the long delay, I ended up returning the memory set for a set with a lower clock speed that was reported as supported from both EVGA and G.Skill.  I didn't want to open the box and try it since I'd get socked 15% on the return for an open box.  I ended up going with the G.Skill Ripjaw 4 DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 2800 (PC4 22400).  The BIOS update that came out this month added support for XMP profile 2.  The only downside is the latency, but I had similar poor latency on my old set to, so I think it's a problem with this line from G.Skill.  Aida64 is giving me 68221 Read speed, 63528 on write speed, 64348 on copy speed, and 71.5ms on latency.  All in all, I'm still happy with my rig.

I didn't want to chance the 15% restocking fee for open boxes.  So I returned it right away and ordered a 2800 set.  Asides from mediocre latency, the set is awesome.

I wasn't too concerned about extreme memory overclocking.  For me, the more memory the better.  I know there is a sweet spot where the return on investment diminishes.  But I have found that with this setup, Stellaris runs like a champ.

Glad to hear you got a ram kit you're happy with and is working well...
