32GB of ram is pretty cheap.

What about two of these kits :

$560 nets you 64gb of ram.

I can lower the timings + the t2 to t1 , but it wont go the next step (1866) at 1.5v (have not tried 1.65/ 1.75v)(but will do

testing stability of 32g ram takes forever 8+ hours min needed for 2+ loops.


Its been very stable (iv had the kit for a while when it first came to Australia).
works 100% at default cpu speed, a little bit tweaking needed to use with 5g cpu...


I use the ram for a ram drive + disk cache/+ pref etcher...eboostr+supercacge5 + Primo.Ramdisk.Ultimate.Edition

hdd/ssd raid speed is awesome...as everything gets cache/ pre-fetched of the hdd/ssd... and little hdd activity happens...(iv still got 8g free for games etc) (n pagefiles off)

i bought 2x Corsair Dominator CMP16GX3M4X1866C9 16GB (4x4gb) total of 32gb.

one kit was faulty, sent it straight back to corsair via there Online rma, easiest RMA ever they overnight shipped me back new kit, and everything is running stable in my current system .

Corsair and Asus so far have been exceptional regarding rma's.

I'd have to vote for this kit; http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?...ducts_id=20696

If it's anything like the 4gb sticks in my sig, it should lower to 1T timings@1.5v
