Hi Guys,

I am currently in the process of upgrading my rig, i currently have my processor, mainboard and cooler. The components i have are as follows:

Intel Core I7 950
Asus Rampage III Extreme
Scythe Mugen R2 Cooler

Now the problem i have is i am confused with the choise of memory availible. Can you guys make some recomendations for memory for this mainboard. I want to install 12gb in total so 2 sets of triple channel in total.

Thanks

The Mugen has a base height of 41mm so you'll have to choose ram that is under 41mm tall for compatability/fit.
This would be my first choice it's fast and matches your boards colour scheme.
Mushkin Enhanced Redline 6GB - $179.99/$149.99 after mir.

Mushkin Enhanced Blackline 6GB - $139.99

CORSAIR XMS3 6GB - $144.99/$124.99 after mir

The Mushkin kits are 40mm tall.
The Corsair 33mm tall.

You're not going to believe this, but as the resident memory tester this is my recommendation:

Zoom in on the modules, you'll see D9KPT chips. Look up some reviews on D9KPT memory, and you'll see why I'm recommending these.

Just about anything more expensive is a waste of money.

crashman, those look interesting and so do the reviews of the chip type, but dont you think i will be limited with overclocking with only 1333 ram. I dont want to overclock to the extreme just a nice tweak will be fine with me.

Here's what Crucial looks like with the same chips:

You won't be hitting DDR3-2000, but is DDR3-1990 close enough?

Seriously, the chips are solid but I can't swear by the circuit board they sit on until I test that RAM next month. At any rate, we know the chips are solid.

D9KPT generally works better without heat spreaders. I think that's because the double-sided tape most manufacturers use for contact isn't very good at transferring heat.
