Hi I just purchased an i7-3960x CPU and Asus Rampage mobo and 64GB RAM + all of the other bits I need for my new workstation.

Bute I've just seen that on the intel website the i7-3960x is listed with a max memory of 32GB - yet even Intel's own LGA 2011 mobo supports 64GB!

I haven't begun to assemble all this yet so wanted to ask is the CPU limited to only 32GB of RAM or not? have I wasted cash by buying 64GB of memory?




Thx

Seymour
