32GB Kits certified for RIVE

Are there any 32GB (4 x 8GB) kits that are certified for the RIVE (or don't need a serious amount of tweaking to function properly)

I currently use the GSkill RipjawsZ 2133 4x4GB kit which runs great at 2240.

I can verify 2 x G.Skill RipsawZ 16gb kits @ 2133mhz work perfect in my rig.

Antec 2002 Chassis - AMG 1000 Modified
Asus Rampage IV Extreme (bios 4201)
Intel® Management Engine (firmware 8.1.10.1286)
EVGA GTX 680 - PCI-E @ x16 3.0 (driver 332.21)
Intel 3960x revision C2 @ 4.7ghz daily - rock solid
G.Skill Ripsaw Z - 32 gig @ 2133mhz
Corsair: 2x Force GT, AX1200, H80
Windows 7 64bit

Sorry if I am not mistaken, It aint any 2 X 16GB module happen to see in market.
Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future.

I believe he's saying that since there is no 32GB kit he is using two 16GB kits which each have 2x8GB modules for a total of 4x8GB.

Not sure why do you want 4x8GB kit... if the RIVE has 8 DIMM slots, you could go with 8x4GB too... - check here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007611%20600006050%20600213074&IsNode...

And here you have some 4x8GB kits: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007611%20600006050%20600083963&IsNode...

It's true, these are just the Newegg lists, but once you choose the kit you like, you can specifically search for compatibility issues...

Oh, from the G.Skill's RAM configurator:
[ RipjawsZ] F3-12800CL9Q2-32GBZL (4Gx8)
[ RipjawsZ] F3-14900CL9Q2-32GBZL (4Gx8)
[ RipjawsZ] F3-17000CL9Q2-32GBZH (4Gx8) - I only tried this and was working perfectly at XMP settings
[ RipjawsZ] F3-19200CL10Q-32GBZHD (8Gx4)

OP likely wants to leave room for future expansion.
With buying 8 * 4GB sticks, he'd have to buy all new RAM to get to 64GB vs buying another 32GB kit.

Well, it's not a wise choice to mix different kits on the X79 platform... anyway it would be needed a new kit... - but, hey, I just suggested some options... 🙂

I said I'm using 2 16gb kits, which are 4x4gb pieces per package (derp.) I didn't notice he specifically wanted 8gb modules, my bad. They do make 32 and 64 gb kit if you want to buy it for a hassle free drop in. I merely was trying to say you could add to instead of buying the the whole kit.

My PC loaded with 2 16GB kits:

Antec 2002 Chassis - AMG 1000 Modified
Asus Rampage IV Extreme (bios 4201)
Intel® Management Engine (firmware 8.1.10.1286)
EVGA GTX 680 - PCI-E @ x16 3.0 (driver 332.21)

Terminal Meltdown, you're a lucky guy... 🙂 or you know how to set up the memories... - most of the people having troubles mixing two kits on the X79 platform, hence my advice to go with a single kit... but, I'm not saying that two kits would not work...

For what it's worth my 32GB consists of 2 8GB kits and 1 16GB kit.
And it's Corsair Vengeance 1600 RAM. Stable as a rock. Just had to set RAM voltage & speed manually. (No XMP)
