I am using this ram with this processor, and no problems. I am getting ready to buy 16 GB more to bring my new system up to 32 GB. I am using on a Gigabyte Z87X-UD5H mobo.

Yes, I'm using 16GB (2x8GB) 1866Mhz Corsair Vengeance memory modules on this machine, included are a couple of modules with 2GB/4GB. I would recommend pulling those out completely and get a new matched pair.

We have 2-4gig & 1-8gig (all corsair blue) running in a server with an Asus mb. Most newer mbs support mixed memory fine. Some perform a little better with memory in pairs, so just in case, I would check the mb docs & put the 4g pair in the lower slots. Another suggestion is to run benchmark or Windows experience with only the 4g pair, then only the 8g.

Yes, you're on the right path. When purchasing RAM you need the same type that comes within your laptop or Desktop. Brand name is your choice.Memory:PC3-8500/10600 DDR3 SODIMM 204-Pin memoryMaximum Memory: 8GB Slots: 2

Hello- I use "Corsair Vengeance 64GB (8x8GB) DDR3 1600 MHz (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory (CMZ64GX3M8A1600C9) by Corsair" also I am using a RamDisk and FancyCache to make my extremely excess RAM even more productive by super-speeding memory access to all of my programs. You won't regret these products, I have no issues at all!

I have used Wintec Industries AMPX DDR3 4 GB (2 x 2 GB DIMMS) Memory Kit P/N 3AXH1600C8WS6GT. They work great!

I'm using Kingston HyperX Blu 8GB KHX1600C10D3B1/8G works great. Can always upgrade with another stick of 8GB in the future.

I'm with Jeff S....you are going to want to put memory in pairs, so I would only recommend 12gb if you find 2x6GB chips. A 16GB kit (2x8GB chips) are pretty reasonably priced at this point, so that would by my recommendation.

I built a system about a year ago using the P9X79 paired with the I7 3820 and 16GB of Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600 MHz memory and it's been a great combination. I use my system for programming and data processing and it's been very fast and reliable. I don't think I've ever had a single freeze up and I leave it up and running all the time.

Yes, 1866 is the default RAM supported and will default to that speed with 1866 RAM. Others up to 3000 will have to have XMP enabled or manually adjusted in BIOS.

You can use 8Gb modules, there's only 2 DIMMS. I'm using Corsair DDR 3 16GB kit of 2 8Gb 1600Mhz

I use 16gb at 1866mhz. I have seen people use up to 64gb at that for video editing. What exactly would you be doing with your build?

get DDR3 ram that is dual channel. Like DDR3 at 1066 or 2000 or 1800 or 1600 or 1333mhz will all work. I believe 16GB is max. Hope this helped.

Yup - DDR3 memory. Read through the reviews to see what memory others have used.

I believe you will want DDR3 memory, running at 1600MHz, sometimes referred to as PC3-12800. I blue my system out with 4 sticks of ripjaws and sold the one it came with on ebay https://www.facebook.com/domainsandwebsitehosting/posts/10152604571957826 worth it!
