Hello, I am considering to build a high-end workstation using i7-8700K and ASUS ROG Strix Z370-E Gaming motherboard. The main reason to choose this MB is that support from ASUS thinks that it could be compatible with Ubuntu Linux, my main OS for work. Some users on the net also have some successes.
The problem is that two support guys from ASUS told me that G.Skill's 32GB and 64GB Kits are not compatible with this motherboard because they are not on the QVL list:
https://www.asus.com/ca-en/Motherboards/ROG-STRIX-Z370-E-GAMING/HelpDesk_QVL/
They mentioned "Please be advise that you must utilize the components that are listed on the QVL list so that you can assure that it will work properly when you installed it." They also said that the list is up to date when I questioned about the list does not list any RAM kit more than 16GB despite they advertise that the MB supports up to 64GB. They also suggested buying the RAM modules together as a kit. If I listen to them, it means that I can only install 16GB in this motherboard. Could you please have a look?

From G.Skill's QVL, the two kits should work with this motherboard.

What suggestion do you have?
