peanutz94 Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Just a quick look at ASUS's site...16 gig max at 1600mhmz. Of course you will have to overclock to get 1600mhz. Just from what you posted above and the amount of things you have open at one time i would say it's not only your memory slowing you down. Your CPU is adding to that equation as well. Just adding more memory might not get you the extra speed you are looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Next time you copy / paste a post, please fix the links :) Any one kit from the Vengeance series (normal or low profile) will work fine. Just get ONE kit. Don't mix kits. Also, while the fastest memory is 2000 MHz, there's no guarantee that your CPU will OC enough to be able to run the memory at their rated speed. http://www.corsair.com/memory/vengeance.html Also, DO NOT GET 12 GB like the guy in that other thread suggested. Not recommended for your system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanutz94 Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Hey wired, what board did you look up? I looked up the p7p55d and you came up with something completely different than i did. Just curious. [edit] You looked up the Rampage board. He was inquiring about the p7p55 board. Joeyboy the info i have posted above is correct for you P7P55 board. What wired has posted covers your other Rampage board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 I didn't look up any board. That's a link from Corsair's website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeyboy Posted March 25, 2012 Author Share Posted March 25, 2012 Hey Wired, still haven't got my ram I know its been a while just been busy, Sorry could you narrow it down for me as there are a few to choose from on this page - http://www.corsair.com/memory-by-product-family/vengeance.html Just looking for the best 16Gb Kit compatible to work with my mobo and set up Would these be OK? http://www.techbuy.com.au/p/177967/MEMORY_MEMORY_DDR-3_RAM/Corsair/CML16GX3M4A1600C9B.asp Or This whats the difference? http://www.techbuy.com.au/p/167266/MEMORY_MEMORY_DDR-3_RAM/Corsair/CMZ16GX3M4A1600C9B.asp Because I have to go duel channel and Low Profile Is that correct?

peanutz94 Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 No difference other than the size of the heat spreaders. You do not necessarily need the LP unless you have a large aftermarket CPU cooler that is blocking or hanging over the first RAm slot on the MB.
