From what I understand, the ASUS Sabertooth Z77 board is extremely picky about the RAM it takes. I tried looking at the QVL, but it seemed kind of incomprehensible -- it listed RAM for speeds that the motherboard doesn't say it supports, and some speeds of RAM had almost nothing listed, or nothing listed for certain stick sizes.
Anyways, it says it supports 1866, but as I say the QVL was very restrictive. I decided to look at 1600, but even then, there are no 8GB sticks listed -- how would I be able to get to the full 32GB max if not by using 8GB sticks?
I found the G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231568 ). For the time being, I'm looking at just sticking with 16GB with the possibility of upgrading. So, does anyone know if this RAM will work with this motherboard? Is there any reason to try to find 1866 RAM instead of 1600? If so, G.SKILL? Or others?
Basically, I'm pretty set on this motherboard, but I'm worried about getting RAM it'll reject.
