Opinion about: ASUS Z87-EXPERT, 32 gigs Kingston HyperX Beast running this CPU. What mghz ram would you recommend? I will do video editing (Adobe).

I went with 32GB of Crucial Ballistix Sport Low profile DDR3 1600. I do photo and video editing as well with Elements 11 and Sony Vegas Pro. This was my first home built computer and after looking over the specs for the Intel DX79SR MB I went with the 1600. I boot up within 15 seconds to the start page on windows 8.1. I'm happy with the performance of the computer.

1600. While you 'may' be able to overclock, there is nothing stopping a 1600mghz chip from running faster that 1600 if you are successful. On the other hand, you can pay a lot more for 'certified' RAM faster than 1600 - but doesn't mean the system will be stable because you paid for faster RAM. I say 1600 because this is the base for i7-3930K and because 1600 was fastest I could get mine to go (without crashing) on both ASUS and Intel motherboards.

Get whatever's validated by Asus to use on the board. If you can afford 2400 and don't mind the marginal performance difference over 1600 (do you really need 2400?), then get 2400. I'm just fine with 1600 until I upgrade my system to a new socket and ddr4.

This memory looks great, is very stable, and personally I love the stuff. For gaming, this set is more than enough, but if you plan do to content creation, then go with the 2400MHZ.

I bought this motherboard for my media computer, so I use it often. When I installed 4GB total, in all four slots, it probably overloaded the memory bus, which led to very poor performance. You might get away with only using 3 out of the 4 slots. Or you might need to update the bios. I also have a fairly decent video card, which could also be part of the problem.So on paper, you should be able to install 8GB of RAM, but in reality, you might not be able to. It is old technology, so you might have a hard time finding a useful bios update. Good luck.

I recently built a system with this MB and memory but an AMD FX 8320 eight core running 3.7G and GTX 770 vid card. I have had NO issues whatsoever with any aspect of this machines performance while preforming HD video editing, or playing Top Tier graphics intensive multi player games. So I feel you would be pleased with the two products compatibility and performance together. I hope this helps you with you question.

I used http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005O65JXI/ with this one, and seems to work fine this far. However, with my motherboard, http://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-Motherboard-Triple-Monitor-support-Windows/dp/B009L1EOKQ/ , it makes it impossible for you to install RAM in DDR3_4 slot (the one closer to CPU socket). Not a big deal for me, as I just added two 8GB modules for the 16GB I wanted, but is something you need to bear in mind (it looks like your board has more space there, but I am not sure). Also, you should consider this CPU instead: http://www.amazon.com/AMD-AD785KXBJABOX-3-7-Socket/dp/B00H7Z7YMI/ (I have been considering to sell mine CPU + motherboard to buy this one, and another motherboard that supports FM2+ socket).

I have the i7-4960x CPU and I paired it with the Asus Rampage IV Extreme Black. It works just awesome , no issues whatsoever and the combo is fast even without overclocking.You will have to remember that a person is more likely to leave a bad review then someone leaving a good one. People that are happy with their purchase will not think of leaving a feedback. If someone has an issue then they will complain.

William as stated below I used YouTube. It was like having a professor next to me. I was extremely careful. Find the year and model of your mb and search with that RAM UPGRADE inside YouTube And u r golden.

Faster memory should run fine. I have 2400MHz RAM for mine, but be sure to set the X.M.P. profile in the BIOS or use the EX_XMP switch on the Motherboard. Also, if you only use 2 sticks of RAM, but sure to insert them into the correct DIMM sockets. The manual recommends DIMM_A2 & DIMM_B2 (shown on page 1-7 of Manual). There's lot's of other useful information in the manual, you should check it out. You can download the PDF file from the ASUS website.

For photo editing and stuff, i would recommend you to go for 8 gigs of ram. It really helps

Yes. I have mine in an ASUS, but I had considered the same board you asked about. It was a tossup between the two. This processor does everything I ask of it. Very satisfied. I'm not a gamer, but I usually have 50 or more tabs open in Firefox, JRiver19 running in the background and it plays Youtube videos in HD with no problems. I also have 8gb of fast ram, so don't expect to get that kind of performance with only 4gb. Enjoy.

I highly recommend the MSI Z97 Gaming 7 board. For what it gives you, the price is unbeatable, and it's the best I've owned.

What type of speed are you looking for on your ram?When I was researching it said that up to 2400 MHz and Kingston hyper x ram was on sale for a pretty good deal. But if you are looking for looks and performance i would suggest the corsair deliminator platinum (they are rediciously expensive). But yes the motherboard will take both SSD and HDD I have a 2tb with two ssds in raid zero. Runs great!!. Hope this helps.

I have that process motherboard combination, and it's been great. I had to flash the bios to upgrade it to recognize the processor--tool me about an hour to figure out the process and her it working. The board itself gets a little cramped.. My water block cooling fans block a set of memory slots, do I need to remove the fan to get memory in and out.. In all, I don't have any regretS with the board.. It's been stable and fast.

Can anyone provide the link for the RAM? I don't know much about computers in general and I don't want to buy the wrong ram...Thanks in advance!

This CPU is one great gamer. The money you save buying this CPU instead of an i7 CPU can be invested in getting a high end video card which matters the most in gaming. This is what I did and I am very happy with the choice I made.For video editing, it actually can outperform an i7 since the whole 8 cores are used. There is plenty of tests around the net. Look at them and decide for yourself.
