RAM for Asus P9X79 Deluxe?

post #1 of 3

Thread Starter 
Asus lists no qualified x8GB sticks for the P9X79 Deluxe. Why?

I'm looking at these sticks. How do I know they will be compatible? G.SKILL lists them as so, but not ASUS.


G.SKILL Ripjaws Z Series 32GB (4 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 (PC3 14900) Desktop Memory Model F3-14900CL10Q-32GBZL


Is 1866MHz a good balance between price, speed and latency?

I'm nervous buying this RAM without seeing a single system verified working with the P9X79 Deluxe.

If G.Skill says they will work I would trust them, most mobo makers RARELY if ever go back and update ram compatibility. (Also, when they do its for a few sets not anywhere near all the sets that are out (That's in general, they test some ram but the majority doesn't get tested))

A couple of people over at TPU are running that exact memory in various P9X79 Asus boards (I don't know which ones exactly), and Cadaveca, who does a lot of the reviews for the Site, runs a P9X79 Pro that he tests all the RAM on. So while I can't tell you for certain, I can give you anecdotal evidence.

Also, is there a particular reason you want 32GB of RAM? Virtual machines, P-Shop, video editing, rendering? If you just want it, have it, I would recommend getting the 16GB RipjawsZ 2133 9-11-10-28 kit which is fantastic, fast and overclocks very well, not to mention the tight timings for a 2133 kit priced around $120.
