The CPU is compatible with 16GB (corsair platinum) of memory at 3200MHz?

Specs: Mobo Asus rog strix z270e, core i5-7600k, memory corsair platinum 16GB (4x4GB) 3200Mhz DDR4 CL16 - CMD16GX4M4B3200C16

If on the QVL list it should work fine but no one can give an absolute answer to these kind of questions, there are to many variables

in the qvl list only reports the compatibility of memory and motherboard. I want to know if core i5-7600k supports 3200mhz of memory frequency.

Anything over 2133MHz is considered overclocked.

The 7600k should handle 16GB 3200MHz CL16, some tuning of the CPU VCCIO and CPU System Agent voltages may be required.

The dominator platinums were designed for the X99 platform but should still work, maybe you'd like G.Skill Trident Z ?

This memory that I mentioned, is in the list qvl of my mobo. The question is whether the cpu will work with the 3200mhz of memory. Do you have a question, on your pc (i7-7700k with hyperx 3000mhz) does the 3000mhz work?

Yeah my ram is running at 3000MHz.

The only way it wouldn't work is if the cpu has a very weak Integrated Memory Controller, all average 7600k's should handle 16GB 3200MHz CL16.
