Hi all

I'm building a computer from some older components. All working fine but need at least 32gb of memory.

I'm using the asus p9x 79 ews and am struggling to understand what memory is compatible as older threads are quite old now.

The QVL talks about the g skill f3's but are the f4's also now compatible?

Ideally if this could work then that would be great.

Any advice including a specific link to the ram for sale on amazon ideally 4x8gb would be really helpful.

Many thanks!!
 
Solution
Since that motherboard supports 64GB max RAM, you will have to get a set of 4 x 8GB RAM to get 32 GB. That will also maximize your memory bandwidth.

Here are some options from NEWEGG that should work.
