Hello everyone yesterday I made the jump and purchased an X99 Classified board, I know it is an older board but it seems to be a tried and true board and from what I have read a good overclocker.  My questions I have read conflicting information about some of this including on here
 
Does this board support M.2 NVME boot?
 
Is there an updated memory list anywhere?  I am looking to run Corsair CMD32GX4M4C3000C15  ( looking on the memory list that can be downloaded from the site quite a few of the part numbers are incorrect especially for G.Skil)
 
Thanks everyone glad to have joined the Evga Community have 2ea 1080 FTW cards and a 1000 P2 psu figured I would add the MB to the mix.  

If you're interested in Corsair memory, they have many models listed on there compatibility list here  >>  http://www.corsair.com/en/memoryfinder
 
As far as the M.2 NVME boot, I believe it does support this but am not 100% as I have no personal experience using one.

On the M.2 NVME boot you may find an answer http://www.evga.com/support/knowledgebase/

Hello,
 
Does this board support M.2 NVME boot?
 
Yes it will support NVME storage and boot drives on M.2 however the M.2 drive must be PCI driven. (no Sata M.2 drives.

There is rarely an issue with memory compatibility on our X99 platform. Just remember that you will be required to overclock you CPU to attain higher memory frequencies.

Just to piggyback on that - 3200MHz RAM on the X99 Classified does NOT require you to OC the BCLK like 2800, 3000, and higher than 3200MHz RAM does.

Thank you big time for the response,  I am new to the x99 platform.  Right now I am running an Z170 setup with an i7 6700k at 4.6.   I think I am going to go with a 2800mhz setup of ram, I am only planning to push a 6850k to 4.4.  Now to talk myself out of 32gig of ram and save some money lol

So you saying 3200 is actually the sweet spot for OC that doesn't require BCLK ocing?

On the X99 Classified board - yes. I've heard reports of the same for other EVGA X99 boards as well, but other manufacturers appear to not be the same.
 
My own set of 8 sticks of Corsair 2800MHz RAM is currently running perfectly at 3200MHz and 100 BCLK in my X99 Classified. I did have to relax the timings a bit and add a little voltage, but not unexpected.

Yes it is the sweet spot! I am currently running 32gb at 3200 MHz with the bclk of 100 works great.

Err... so I went exactly opposite way. To ensure stability beyond any doubt bought 2400 sticks and replaced 2666. No XMP profiles, no fiddling required - OCing memory is soooo utterly boring and meaningless, but hey if you like it who am I to stop you guys. These are from Avexir's Core series with nice White pulsing LEDs. Planning to get another set at later date just for effect because I don't need 32GB now and I haven't got a clue what for I would require 64. :evilgrin:
