qkrzazzang · Feb 14, 2016

I'm thinking of buying either one of the:

My mobo is Rampage V extreme/ usb 3.1 ready which supports quad channel, but these two rams are dual channel kit. Will it work without any functional loss?

Also, what's the difference between Aegis and the Ripjaws V?

Check your motherboard manual, check what slots to put the memory in and put the RAM in the slots. The difference between Aegis and Ripjaws V is simply looks.

Using only two out of four channels on LGA2011 may cause a slight performance penalty from halving available RAM bandwidth in most everyday software. For extremely memory-intensive software, the performance loss may be more severe.

Why is 16gb X 4 quad channel so rare? I can't really go 32gb as I can max it absolutely easily when I work, so... what's my option? 8x8?

Many choices here:

well... that would end me up at 32gb max

I think 8x8 is a good option. There are many options. Though there are some G.Skill Trident Z 4x16GB Modules.

Mainly because most enthusiasts do not need more than 16GB, maybe 32GB for prosumers, in their PCs. There isn't a huge market for 64GB consumer kits.

If you go into server memory kits, you can find 4x32GB kits.

First thing would be to check with Asus and ensure they have BIOS support for 16GB sticks, on release, they supported up to 8GB sticks with a max of 64 in an 8x8GB config. The Ripjaws V (along with the Trident Z) are GSkill's upper end sticks (use stronger, better binned ICs for OC ability) - The Ripjaws V are great sticks, haven't tried any of the Aegis yet
