32GB Kits certified for RIVE

[jezjohnson]

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.

The only things I had to tweak were speed and timings, no voltage change necessary. My machine runs flawlessly at the rated speed of 2133 as advertised 🙂 G.Skill Rocks!

OK, Necrosan, you're the luckiest guy! 😄 Mixing two separate Vengeance kits... and it's "stable as a rock"... - as I said, not saying that it would not work, just that it MAY BE a pain in the *** (as you can see in this Forum and all over the internet)

It's all about the tweak. I'd say 90% of the Vengeance ram module reports being bad were in fact good with the right tweak. LOL

FWIW, larger modules means fewer modules and generally means less work for the memory controller. Of course variance in the timing, voltage, and density can also impact compatibility between modules but as a general rule I'd take 4x8GB over 8x4GB unless I knew the chip density would work better with my CPU. Intel seems less impacted by densities than AMD so I'd go with fewer modules for a few extra bucks.

I also run 2 16GB (4x4GB) Gskill Ripsaw Z kits in my system. They work great running at 2133. They also run at 2400, but I am playing with a RAM Disk at the moment so I turned it down to 2133 for more headroom. I didn't even need to plug in the extra voltage connector for using 8 DIMMs 🙂

I think you can argue both points on whether to go 8 x 4GB or 4 x 8GB. If you plan on running 64GB down the road, it is best to get the 4 x 8GB to start. But if not, then either approach may work. I found that in some systems more sticks of memory at lower density was easier to overclock that few sticks with higher density modules. Clocking up 8GB sticks can be a bit trickier some times. But, all else equal, I would shoot for 4 x 8GB for 32GB off the bat.

I'm running 32 GB 4x8GB DOMINATOR GT kit on a RIVE board with out any problems although I haven't gone past XMP yet

Nice one mate. DOM's have been very solid on the RIVE board. It is just the Vengeance kits that that have given me and many other users issues.

i bought 2 x 16gb (4x4) G.Skill ripjawz 2133cl11 and my RIVE, never able to make it stable at 2133, no issue at 1600
manually or xmp settings

remove and bought 2 x 16gb (4x4) Dominator GT 2133cl9, install, set xmp and 100% stable, no more crash in games or in windows
