Memory that will work

[jayef69]

Need serious help please. I bought a ASUS Maximus VII Formula/Watch Dog mother board. I ordered GSill memory from New Egg. I decided to go with GSkll Trident 32 GB 4 x 8 sticks. My question is this will the F3-2400C10Q-32GTX work? Is it comptible to my mother board. I have ordered the memory from New Egg. My email is jfayed@comcast.net. According to the QVL from Asus this memory is not on their OVL.

Also I will be running a Haswell 4.0.

Thank you Jaye

I am really sorry about the repost. Those post I did earlier was before I read the QVL. I just want to know is it going to work with my motherboard and why it is not on Asus's QVL.

Thank you Meanmachine (love that name)

Asus cannot test every known configuration, The QVL is a list of many that have been tested and are known to work.

If your DIMMs are not listed then there is no Guarantee.

Absence from the QVL means that Asus didn't test that DRAM model and they can't swear they'll work. However ...

DDR3-2400 CL10 DRAMS from many makers including GSkill Tridents have done very well in Maximus boards with Haswell CPUs. It's not likely that a Devil's Canyon at stock 4.0GHz will have any trouble with any DRAM that has an XMP profile for 2400 CL10.

Thank you so much for your input Jab 383.

Yes, that kit will work with your motherboard. Now whether you can run all 32GB of that RAM at 2400MHz will depend on your CPU's IMC.

I will be running a Intel 4.0 Haswell chip. Will that run the 32GB's?

Thank you

Hi there !

Yes it supports that amount however, whether the cpu's imc can handle all of those dimms running at 2400 is purely luck of the draw. What i'm saying is that it might be a 50% chance that it will or won't handle those speeds. If it doesn't work it means you would either have to loosen the timings or lower the speed or both. 32GB is a lot of ram ! Can I ask why so much? If you are just gaming 8GB is great or 16GB at the most ( for future proofing ).
