Yes it would fit is your mainboard dead? and you want to run it with a 6700k? then the board makes sense. with an 8th gen intel cpu the board is not compatible. With an i7 7700k it should be halfway compatible but even then I would go for a z270 board hope this helps.

The modules from Corsair are very good and compatible with almost all mainboards. The reason for the different prices can be anywhere, but in the case of RAM, the difference is rarely to be found in the equipment, but depends on the market situation, manufacturer prices and even discontinued models. The prices for RAM are very variable, which is why I would not look directly at the price when comparing, but at the performance features. I can highly recommend the Corsair Vengeance LPX. The design of the cooling elements is just right and the performance characteristics are very good. As far as the reliability or life expectancy of RAM is concerned: if it's not a manufacturing defect, RAM is practically impossible to kill. Manufacturers are particularly proud of this and confident that they usually offer a lifetime warranty for their modules. If you put the modules into operation in the standard configuration, they are automatically clocked with the basic ratio to the processor, i.e. with 2133, even if you install the 2666s. As for the necessity of additional passive cooling: passive cooling is certainly not wrong, but it is also not always necessary. In systems in tight spaces or with passive cooling systems, you certainly need passive cooling for RAM. In overclocking, this should also be done, if not actively. In standard systems (midi-tower and larger with active cooling), even under constant full load, even RAM modules without passive cooling elements are sufficient. At this point, however, it should be said that I still recommend always installing modules with cooling. It is for the general good of all components if cooling is optimally guaranteed everywhere.
