Im looking to buy this motherboard. I need 4x16gb 3200mhz+ ram corsair or gskill and i cant find anything compatible with motherboard (https://www.evga.com/support/motherboard/). Can i buy any ram model or i need to follow this (https://www.evga.com/support/motherboard/) for dark x299. I would like to get new corsair dominator rgb ram 4x16. Also one more question does this motherboard support 7.1? I have razer tiamat 7.1 headset can i connect it like in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-YTubozx3zs. Im confused there is 2 green jacks so i dont know

Light green is speaker front out, dark green is for headphones. That way you can have both a headphone set and multi channel speaker set up plugged into the rear jacks

When it comes to updated QVL list go to G.Skill website and check there QVL list, my memory wasn’t on EVGA list but was on G.Skill and it has worked great

Intel i9 9900k @ 5.2
G. Skill 3600
EVGA z390 DARK
Asus Strix OC 2080Ti
EVGA 1300 G2
Samsung 960PRO M.2 NVME
Samsung 850 SSD
WD 1TB Black
Caselabs SMA8 Fully Watercooled
Asus PG279QZ

I'd say *most* 3200 or 3600 memory *should* work, your mileage might vary on timings and overclocking. You could even pop up to 4000 if so inclined for a quad channel set up based solely on the boards advertised specs.
 
I think manufacturers do their best to qualify as much as they can, but there are gaping holes in their data, especially the X299 Dark, for some reason...
 
I am running http://www.gskill.com/en/product/f4-3200c16d-16gtzr in quad channel with no issues. It is not on the G.Skill or EVGA QVL lists, as a point of reference.

What Part Number?
While some work Great Other Do Not.
Why did you remove your G.Skillz Ripjaws V 3200?
What are you using now?
I am using F4-3600C17Q-32GVK and F4-3200C14Q-64GVK without any issues.
