Hi madblake‌,

Memory

Memory specifications Aurora R6
Slots Four DIMM sockets
Type DDR4
Speed
  • 2400 MHz
  • Up to 2667 MHz with XMP (optional)
Configurations supported 4 GB, 8 GB, 16 GB, 32 GB, and 64 GB (2400 MHz only)

So looks like the RAM will not be compatible, but this is something that we can't say for sure since we haven't tested that RAM.  If XMP can not be activated, the best case scenario would be if the RAM works but runs at 2400.
