I'f I want to put in 32G of ram, what memory sticks should I buy? Will any of them work? Also, can I add both an SSD and HDD on this board?

You can use Corsair Vengeance 32GB (4x8GB) DDR3 1866 MHZ (PC3 15000) Desktop Memory Product #CMZ32GX3M4X1866C10, I Use a Samsung 840 Pro Series 2.5 inch 512 SSD Model MZ-7PD512BW and Two Western Digital Red 2 TB NAS Hard Drives 3.5 inch SATA III 64 MB Cache Models - WD20EFRX Mirrored in a raid aray. Very Fast!!!

You have to read the board specifications of the board nd a 32GB memory is compatible with it. It has 4 slots, therefore u need (4x8GB).I have a similar motherboard, I listed it for sale as a combo on eBay...let me know if u r interested...thx

Corsair Vengeance 32GB (4x8GB) DDR3 1600 MHz (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory (CMZ32GX3M4X1600C10).this works Great for me. I have Both SSD and a 3TB western Digital Hard Drive in my ASUS Maximus V EXTREME LGA 1155 My Computer run 24/7 for 8 months now no Problems.

You have picked a very nice motherboard. I will post the ram I have in mine, it cost, but it really depends on how much you want to spend. Corsair Dominator Platinum 32GB (4x8GB) DDR3 2133 MHz (PC3 17000) Desktop Memory (CMD32GX3M4A2133C9). You can get cheaper ram, but make sure it is DDR3 ram for this board. I think Corsair is the best, but Kingston is good also. Yes, you can put both an SSD and HDD on that board. You should load your OS on the SSD drive since it is much faster than the HDD. I would recommend the Samsung 500GB SSD drive 840 Series, and the Velociraptor 1TB HDD. I have built lot's of computers, and these motherboards are really the top. If I can help you with any other questions you have just let me know.

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.

Max RAM is 32GB, there are 4 RAM slots which support up to 8GB each. Yes you can upgrade the HDD or even better install a drive into the open secondary slot and keep the original HDD installed for storage.

Has anybody tried a single 4GB stick of RAM in this? I'm wondering if it would work.

It depends on your motherboard. It will need to support 32gb of memory and it will have to have 4 available slots to install the ram. If you dot have the documentation from your motherboard you can either look it up or check crucial.com to find what options you have regarding ram. A side note: the price of ram is really inflated as of writtig this so id hold off if possible. 32gb is a ton of ram for even the most demanding user. 8-16gb is enough for high end gaming. Unless youre a super hardcore power user you shouldt need 32gb...and for as much as it costs i wouldnt suggest it to 95% of users. It depends on your motherboard.

Hey Brad, I recently upgraded my RAM using this stick G.Skill Ripjaws Series 8GB 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Laptop Memory (F3-1600C9S-8GRSL) ... Worked perfect for me. Haven't experienced any compatibility issues!

I appreciate all the responses people.I've corresponded with Corsair customer service and they assured me that these memory chips will work with the aforementioned board.They even said that the higher density sticks (32 GB) will work as well.I hope they're right.

Go to crucial.com and run the "Crucial System Scanner" this will tell you what hard drives and RAM is compatible with your system. I hope this helps. Rick

Hi there! I am not totally sure the answer and do not want to mislead you so I will recommend you to pcpartpicker.com. Once you are there, add your motherboard to the cart. Then when you go to look at the RAM you need, it will only show compatible RAM. I am not certain at all but I would ASSUME that almost all DDR3 RAM should be compatible with all DDR3 motherboards.

It can support up to 64 gigs of ram my personal preference would be the fastest speed your motherboard supports. I went with GSkill and love their ram. Something like this 32GB G.Skill DDR3 PC3-19200 2400MHz Trident X Series CL10 (10-12-12-31) Quad Channel kit

Depend on your usual works. For internet, 4GB ram is enough. If you need more than that, 8 GB is good. I recommand 4GB+4GB (total 8GB) for dual channel on this board. FYI, same type rams must be used for proper dual channel working. (see board user Guide) If you want to have a fast system, you have to spend your dollar on SSD rather than RAM.

You can install a maximum of 16GB RAM memory. The mother board has 2 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.

I would have to look but i think you can upgrade to 32 gigs of ram, i believe there is three more open bays.

Hi, any board that support 1600mhz+ and DDR3 Rams will be compatible with this sticks, i use a Asus M5A99FX Evo and it works like a charm with this Rams.

Go to Critical.Com, maker of memory and solid state hard drives , enter your machine information. It will tell you what memory cards are compatible with your machine & the maximum amount of memory your mother board will accommodate . Use this info. to decide what you should buy. Hope this will be helpful. WBRoss

Hi, I have not had occasion to try, so I can't answer the question first-hand. Here is a link that says the RAM is all soldered (not upgradeable) and that the SSD form factor is not one of the usual commercial standards. http://www.legitreviews.com/article/1903/3/ There are different hardware versions and revisions, so your mileage may vary, but I would assume not (easily) on both counts.

Both boarsd I ordered were rev 2.1, which claims to support DDR3-1333 memory. The box should say which memory types it supports though.I should mention though that I couldn't even get this board to POST, with either one I recieved. It seems to be VERY picky about your hardware configuration and would not boot no matter what I did. Your mileage may very, but just a heads up.
