I bought Kingston HyperX Beast 32GB. But if you are planning to use a cooler fan like amazon best seller Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo you shouldn't buy this memory because it won't fit. So unless you are going to use water cooling like corsair h80i you should buy low profile memory. Low profile memory is not that tall and allows you to use a wide range of coolers. Do not use the 4790k unless you have bought a good cpu cooling system, otherwise with 4GHz it will get really warm. I use the corsair H80i and my cpu never gets hotter tan 49 degrees C. I don't like wather cooling though, I was forced to buy it because of my memory dimms.

Yes, this memory ram Corasir is awesome in this motherboard. Is special for games because has a internal cooler for to refresh. Very good friend :)

What I would build that one with is a 990 series mb which is a am3+ series mb's. MSI has them Gigabyte,Asrock just look for AM3+ and you will see the 990 number in the descriptions.

I do not have an Asus z97 deluxe, but I looked it up on the Asus website, and that motherboard supports DDR3 1600mhz. You can use 1866mhz ram, but in order to get 1866mhz speed you will need to overclock it in the bios. Otherwise, your bios will lower its speed automatically to a lower, but supported speed. Great ram though, very high quality.

Jarrett, What CPU do you have? You can run almost any RAM, personally I use only Corsair....currently using 2 sticks 4 GB each of the Vengeance series. CML8GX3M2A1866C9R. Hope I was able to help you

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!

A quick search on Gigabytes website brought me to the QVL. I do not see this memory being supported. However that does not mean the memory won't work fine, it just means your manufacturer has not tested this memory(yet). Try checking with Gigabyte directly, or see if they have any forums to ask on. Maybe other Gigabyte users can give you a better response. You will probably be asked what revision your particular board is(v1, v1.2, v2 etc...) Also, check to see if the board came with a manual. Or even the disk, will sometimes contain a .pdf. QVL lists are usually shipped with the boards in some way, at least every board I've ever purchased has had one... Good luck!

I have the ASUS Rampage IV Extreme and the Corsair Dominator DDR3 2400 MHz was not listed either. I called product support at ASUS and they told me it was good to go. I installed 64GB and have not had one problem with it. It is amazing and lighting fast. Anyway, call the product support for the motherboard manufacturer and they can tell you exactly; the spec sheets with board are printed sometimes prior to new memory chips becoming available. Let me know if this helps, . . . and have fun with the system you're building once you get it together.

My experience with OC was not that great. So I often buy memory 1 level down from advertising of my mobo. 32Gb corsair work great for me.

I have this MB, and it absolutely refuses to work with all 4 slots filled. Didn't realize I had one of the "bad" ones until I tried to move to a 4x4Gb ram setup. Only the two ram slots farthest from the cpu work. But I love this board enough to be here shopping for a second one - makes a great fakeMac.

if you are asking what type of memory this mb use,.. you can go to the asus website and get to this model and you will find a list there of the recommended memory types that had been tested by asus. It is a ddr 3 memory type ,but for the speeds and compatibility list refer to the asus website page for this specific motherboard. Different 2011 X79 asus models will accept different ddr3 speeds so you have to check which ones applies for this model.

I just built new gaming rig with the 4790k and this memory with no issues on a Maximus VII Formula MB. Check you motherboard QVL if unsure but this is very good memory

Just is only reference, but you can use memory with 3000mhz OC the motherboard with the XMP has the memorys, i did bought it and my score for that motherboard is so good, some many peoples talk about problems with it, but is becouse it has an outdated Bios version, if you want buy it i recommend 100%, but the first steps that you must follow is update the bios before the install your O.S

Are you asking how much memory to install on your mobo, to go with this cpu? All you can! Whatever your board will hold is the best answer. I have Asus M5A88 V evo mobo. I put in 8 gbs of G.Skill. I have room for more later, if needed. And, as more and more applications are getting more power and resource hungry, you should put all you can in. And, it's cheap. In 90% of cases, this great cpu, will unlock 2 extra cores, giving you 6 total, for the price of 4! Be sure your getting a mobo with core unlocking capibility, like most Asus do. I actually bought this cpu in a Ebay auction for $88.00 new! Nice. Are you asking how much memory to install on your mobo, to go with this cpu? All you can!

Memory becomes a fanboy issue, I've never had ram fail, and have used Corsair, Crucial, Patriot, Mushkin, Kingston ... currently I'm running 4 sticks of Patriot IEM Viper 3 @2133mhz
