Question 1

Is purchasing quad channel RAM any different than using 4 of the exact same modules purchased separately?

Accepted Answer

Yes because it has to be compatible with your motherboard you have to check your motherboard manual to see if the memory is compatible or check the manufacturers website when you buy a memory kit  they're designed to work together... you can buy memory modules separately but the computer might not detect some of the modules.

Question 2

Will this work with ASUS TUF SABERTOOTH 990FX R2.0?

Accepted Answer

It should, most modern motherboards use the same port for ram. So it should fit, just look at the picture of the port and the motherboard or look in the details and see if the port is the correct one. I haven't experienced any trouble with my motherboard and it is an Asus.

Question 3

Will this run on an Asus H97M Plus MB?

Accepted Answer

That specific one is not listed on the QVL, there is a model that is close enough... I don't think it would be a problem... (F3-12800CL10S-8GBXL is listed on the QVL).

Question 4

Will this work on Asus X79 deluxe? My Asus Rampage IV extreme has the wont power until you blow dry or after a few hours issue and it's out of warranty so I'm looking for a replacement mobo. any suggestions is appreciated.

Thanks.

Accepted Answer

I have had mine( 64 Gig ) for a few years and have no trouble. I also have a 1500 Watt power supply.  If your power supply is ample it should be fine. I over powered my board so i could expand.

Question 5

I use one set of these Ripjaws, 32G in my AsusX79 Pro. Will another set, work to give me 64G, need more ram for Video VFX, Adobe After Effects, RAM hungry program.  I understand it's not matched, but will it work with just a minor hit on performance? I'd rather not spend $500 for a matched set of 8 if the performance hit is minimal.
Thanks

Accepted Answer

from what i understand, "matching" is the testing to ensure all modules work together, which really doesn't mean much.  i think this is a rather marketing gimmick.  Asus boards are especially known to handle various modules.  I have an older Sabertooth X58 with 6 slots.  I purchased 3 sets of 2 dimms of the same ram.  no issues.  i think the modules are all the same, but carry different labels to indicate single, dual, quad, etc. configuration.

Question 6

My existing RAM is non ecc and unbuffered. Is this module also the same? MY System, GA-78LMT AMD FX 6300 Six Core with 8 gigs of ram. 4 dimms Looking to upgrade to 32.

Accepted Answer

Yes, this RAM module is non-ECC and unbuffered.

Question 7

Question 10
