Chall04 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Hello, I was wondering if the ones posted in the topic are compatible. They do not show up in the configurator :( And I have read things that the DIMMs only support up to 2GB per DIMM. The odd thing is that Asus only mentions that a total of 8GB is possible, it doesn't mention anything about a 2GB limit per DIMM. Could anyone confirm if this will work or not? Kind Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted December 14, 2012 Corsair Employees Share Posted December 14, 2012 That is correct this MB only support memory made with 256M X 8 memory IC's so that would be 4 X 2.0 Gig modules only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chall04 Posted January 3, 2013 Author Share Posted January 3, 2013 Don't know if I can ask this here but anyway, does it matter which kind or type of RAM I choose, or will all RAM work as long as it's 1333MHz, CL9, 4x 2GB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted January 3, 2013 Corsair Employees Share Posted January 3, 2013 I am sorry I do not understand what you are asking, the memory frequency it will run at will be dependent on the CPU and Chipset and if you have an older chipset any current 4.0 Gig modules may not be compatible as I stated previously all current DDR3 production 4.0 Gig modules are single rank using 512M X 8 IC's and Nvidia chipsets will not support this density and any Intel Chipset older then P67 will also not support them.

RG, sorry to ask this or challenge your statement...But the x58 chipset can use those 4 gig modules just fine. I have them in my system. And any of the trriple channel kits offered now are fine with X58 chipset? 3x4gig kits 6x4gig kits? I have even seen users report that 8 gig modules work in their x 58 systems as well, even though I know they are not supposed to... I do agree they (the 4.0gig modules) would not work on an older socket 775 MB though :biggrin: I thought it was just 8 gig modules that needed to be P67 and up?

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted January 3, 2013 Corsair Employees Share Posted January 3, 2013 Yes that is correct and the Striker Extreme is Nvidia Chipset and so is Striker II so both these MB's would have the 256M X 8 limitation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chall04 Posted January 4, 2013 Author Share Posted January 4, 2013 I'm sorry if I wasn't really clear, I meant, can I use call kinds of brands as long as it are 2GB modules? (And of course I'm talking about 4 of the same brand :)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted January 4, 2013 Corsair Employees Share Posted January 4, 2013 If you can find a module that is made with 256M X 8 memory IC's you can use it on these MB's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
