I have been out of the loop for a while, and lost my touch, but can anyone help me confirm if

http://www.gskill.com/products.php?index=355 this RAM : F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL Ripjaws (2x8Gb)

Will work on my Extreme7 Gen3 + 2600k + Win7 64bit?

Cos I am planning to remove my watercooling loop and go with a D14, cos the loop is actually starting to get quite noisy for my taste, and I am just cooling my CPU anyways. And the Vengeance will not fit with the D14.

And will there be issues if I put 32Gb of RAM on it?

Technically it should work fine, yes.
And your board's maximum supported amount of RAM is 32GB so that should also be fine.

If you're really worried, then pick some RAM from this list: http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.asp?cat=Memory&Model=Z68%20Extreme7%20Gen3

Thanks! just noticed that not a single 1x8Gb stick of RAM is stated in the list, strange considering how they mentioned the board supports 32Gb (which means the board HAS to have 4x8Gb on it LOL)

Maybe I should play safe and go for the 4x4Gb route? which is probably more expensive. And dont quote me Newegg etc, cos I live in Singapore :B

Which is why I don't care for memory support lists!
Pick up a 32GB kit if you want, 99% guarantee it will work.

If you give us some places where you can purchase online in Singapore, it'll be easier

This is a store website with the pricelists on it. Not really many online shops in Singapore, but we have a building with like over 10 stores selling PC parts.

And something just occurred to me, wont it be easier just to remove the Vengeance heatsinks? It will be my first time doing something like that, so I have no idea how hard it is.... hmmmm
