Question. I'm looking into building a new rig. I've pretty much decided on the core i7-2600k and the Asus Maximus IV Extreme mobo.
My question is this. The Maximum ram that the board supports is 32gig. It has 4 ram slots. and according to crucial. The maximum per slot is 4gb. There for the maximum of the mobo is 16. How can i get the 32gb of ram in it . I want to max it out if possible

Asus future-proofed the board for when non-ECC 8Gb sticks get into the market. Right now, the only 8Gb sticks I have ever seen are for servers.

Max out at 16Gb and you will still have more than enough.

I'll echo the above .... cupla points about that board ....

All those extra PCI-E slots will limit your CPU cooler choices. For example self contained water coolers like the Antec 620 / 920 Kuhlers and Corsair H50/H70, the radiators will hit the top GFX card in most cases. Same w/ big air coolers.

Given the above, skip the tall RAM heat sinks which will give you other concerns. Since you obviously going w/ double or triple GFX cards, GFX not going to be your bottleneck .... so low CAS RAM will be of benefit.
