Ram Compatibility

[gguyss]

Hi guys.
I hope some of you familiar with ram can help me out.
I'm really concerned about stability after a bad experience with another motherboard.

Which ram would be compatible on an Asus P9X79 pro?

I currently own these ram and it would be great if I could use one of these kits to save money
Plug and play would be great, but if I have to change AI Overclock Tuner to X.M.P I'll be ok.
But I want to avoid deep voltage tweaking.

This would be a fine case of RTFM, for both your old and new motherboard. There's a reason why manufacturers have list of memory which is tested to work properly with the board.

If I had to guess and buy something blind, I'd go for the Ripjaws Z because it's 1.5v and CL9.

all 3 sets of ram would work in that motherboard. But like Vesseblah I would go with the Ripjaws Z or maybe the Corsair if you can get by with just 16g of ram and just oc to 1866

Definitely not the Corsairs because of those retarded heatsinks and CL10.

Thanks for the advice.
I was leaning on the g.skills z's. G.skills homepage says they are compatible with the MB,
but I couldnt find them in Asus QVL. Thoes list can't cover every ram out there.
I was hoping to use my existing kit and not fork out money unnecessarily on a kit that is on the list.

RAM is binned pretty tightly so its difficult to overclock up to the higher bin without some 'deep voltage tweaking'.

Samsung RAM is an exception to this since their RAM isn't really binned at all. If the OP is only looking for 32 GB RAM in 8 slots, then grab these and go 1866 Mhz.

If you already have the kit, might as well try it out before buying a new set.

I was actually thinking of getting some Samsungs.
Do you think I could knock down thoes timings to 9-9-9-24?

I think there's a good chance you can get those timings at 1866.

Here are a couple reviews from Newegg for the Samsung RAM:

I set the timings at 9,9,9,24 and at 1866Mha and they work perfect. No errors on memtest.

RAM timing= 9-10-10-24-1t
Voltage= 1.5v
Speed= 2133mhz

Running it rock solid stable at 2076 (12x173) 10-10-10-28 t1 @1.5v.

i've got mine running at 2133MHz @ 1.45V and it's dead stable

Clocked at 1923mhz 9-9-9-24-1T 1.5v
Windows 8 experience of 8.1

but I set it to 9-9-9-24-1T on 1866 and they've been flying

I think Samsung's success with their SSDs carried over to their RAM.
