RikuoAmero Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 Can someone tell me I'm wrong when I say my motherboard can only do a maximum of 8GB RAM?http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Intel_Socket_1155/P8Z68_DELUXE/#downloadGo to that link and look at both the items in the Qualified Vendor List. Nowhere in the two files does it mention a number higher than 8GB. I'll be happy with 8, just would love to have more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone would laugh at a board that would only support 8GB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RikuoAmero Posted November 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 Thanks Legion, but the Qualified Vendors List doesn't mention anything bigger than 8GB in any combination. There's nothing like 12 GB (3 x 4) or 16GB (4 x 4). That's what I'm confused about. I've got two pieces of information and they say two completely different things.

It's just their suggestion and doesn't mean that only what they have listed will work. As long as the ram matches the specs on the motherboard it will work without issue.Here is an example of 16GB of DDR3 1600 ram:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145347 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RikuoAmero Posted November 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 Okay cheers! Last question...what type of memory should I be looking for, with regards to the PC3-12800 type? I actually can't find anything that reads like PC3 in there. Earlier on, I was helping FullMetalRaven and I found out his motherboard uses PC3-10600. What does my motherboard use?EDIT: Don't bother. Thanks. I'm on a site called Shop4memory.com and I'm just looking up individual RAM. G.Skill RAM looks great and their site lists which motherboards their RAM sticks work on, which is great!

What does my motherboard use?You can use anything that matches this:4 x DIMM, Max. 32GB, DDR3 2200(O.C.)/2133(O.C.)/1866(O.C.)/1600/1333/1066 Hz Non-ECC, Un-buffered Memory PC3-12800 is just a longer title for DDR3 1600, so pay more attention to the DDR3 part than the PC3 part. For you, anything above DDR3 1600 will require overclocking to reach those speeds, so if you don't want that hassle then go with DDR3 1600.
