I have a sabertooth 990 fx under the ram list it says this ram is on it 8x2 does this mean i can only stay with 16 or can i get 32 if i choose?

You have 16 GB filling two slots (8GB each slot). If you have two more slots on your motherboard you can get a total of 32 by adding another 16 (8 GB in each slot). You would then have four (8 GB) sticks. Just make sure you add the same kind of memory when you upgrade; in terms of voltage, speed, and latency. Speed will be listed as MHz and Latency will be listed as C_ (generally Latency is from C7 to C12 but can go up to 16). For example you might have: Dominator Platinum CMD16GX3M2A1866C9 (which is two 8 GB sticks with a speed of 1866 MHz and a Latency of C9). Add the same thing when you upgrade.

It should, I have 2x8 sticks and plan on upgrading to 32 later. I have the Maximus 7 Formula.

The Sabertooth Z87 mother board has 2 x PCIe 3.0.2.0 x 16 (x16 or dual x8),1 x PCIe 2.0 x16 (x4 mode, black) and 3 x PCIx1 slots

Each stick is 2 GB for a total of 4 GB, if your motherboard supports dual channel memory then yes, if it don't then you would just run single channel memory but use both sticks, I hope I didn't confuse you, either way you can use these memory sticks if your motherboard supports it, be sure to check the voltage as some motherboards are not very flexible about it.

This really dependent on the motherboard and its Dimm slot location relative to the CPU. I have an Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2.0 Motherboard and the closest Dimm module touches the cooler but will work there. Better to get memory with standard heat sink risers.

I have a xfx r7 video card that's has 2 gigs ddr5 and run really fast no problem but if ur planning to get a prosser with 8 core this can't support it I think u need a motherbored that has a 3+ for next Gen games but over all I love it

From www.service.asus.com, re. SABERTOOTH 990FX R2.0 supported CPUs: FX-9590(FD9590FHW8KHK, 4.7GHz, 8C, L3:8M, 220W,rev.C0,AM3+) PCB:ALL BIOS(min):1708 Due to the high TDP, please be noted there are limitations while using this CPU(i.e. special thermal required..)

You can replace one of the two sticks of 2 GB of RAM, which means you will have 6 GB. Before you proceed with this configuration, I recommend you confirm both RAM sticks (new and old) are the same speed (1600MHz).

Melder you might want to prepare as there is now a review on cnet.com where the reviewer states his unit comes with 1GB welded on and no way to update it to 2gb. Please post your findings when you get your unit and I hope the RAM is upgradeable!

I dont know if it is the sabertooth, the condition is new in the box. Some sites confused the intel X58 chipset with an AMD version of a similar name. Only problem I had is the 2 of the 8 sata controllers are 6Gbs as opposed to 3Gbps and the 6Gbps (marvell controller I think) was flaky I put the boot drive on the other sata controller and have had no other problems.

According to ASUS specs this should be an 8 gb max ram while retailing at 4gb. It is true that the two available slots are occupied. However, that should not stop one from upgrading by replacing the 2gb x 2 to 4gb x 2. I have ordered one and have talked to asus tech support which says it is possible and the complete line up has an 8gb max by default

According to http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/SABERTOOTH_990FX/#specifications, these are the expansion slots: 3 x PCIe 2.0 x16 (dual x16 or x16, x8, x8); 1 x PCIe 2.0 x16 (x4 mode, black); 1 x PCIe 2.0 x1. They also have a note on the first three listed which says "When running dual graphics cards, be sure to insert the card in the first and third PCIex16 slot to get the best performance." 1 x PCI

32 gb ram memory is supported.... 4 x 1.5v ddr3 dimm support up to 32 gb memory... on gigabyte motherboard ga-990fxa-ud7

Corsair vengeance ddr3 .i got 32 gig(4x8) and it works great! Had no issues with my board.looks like got lucky from previous comments

Mine was 8. I don't think the memory size matters, just the model/generation.

You should be able to use one 8gb stick but I have two of these boards and I have had problems using 4gb sticks but i've never used two of them at the same time but I know that it's just a bit more that a coincidence that both brand new sticks of 4gb did not work in either board. So i'm not sure if it will work for you or not. I use two 2gb sticks on both boards.

Well when i bought this product it was 2x2gb = 4gb. If you buy two of this you will have 8gb but divided into 4 corsair memory, so you will have to check if your motherboard alows or of ot has 4 slots to put the 8
