What memory are people going for?
My RE V + CPU (5960x) is on it's way, but still need to order some memory (ideally 64GB, but could make do with 32GB)

Me too, ordered couple of weeks back and now have motherboard & CPU, just waiting on the RAM. Probably same supplier

I've gone for 2800mhz corsair dominator plats
These come with XMP profile for 3000mhz 1.35v
I've thought about changing them for some g.skill memory to match the board!

Mine arrived today. Here she is next to her older better looking sister. Red and black has been done to death.

The only thing that puts me off this board is that it drops to 16x/8x/8x if running 3 cards...
Soldato
Where did you read that? that's wrong
Not that it matters, I'm running 8x8x8x on my deluxe till my new fittings arrive. You lose bugger all performance. Literally even flat out my graphics scores are the same.

I was hoping they'd do a black edition again, looks quality, mine should be here Wednesday!

Some goodies have arrived....
you lucky boy
It's not, this board drops to 16/8/8 when using 3 cards even on a 40pci-e lane CPU.
The deluxe supports 16/16/8 but not this board
Soldato
Hmm, is that definitely what it says in the manual? yeah the Deluxe supports 16x16x8 but have you seen how?!
The lane spacing is full retard!

Did you look at the Kingston predator?
Looks like the 3000mhz sticks use 1.25v.
And aren't so expensive, in comparison to Corsair.
This could be interesting

yeah a few of the kits do, including the Ballistix.
Not too fussed though.
There will be much, much faster kits than these in the coming months. All the launch stuff is much of a muchness

Says so here, if you scroll down a bit. Big picture with it clearly displaying the speeds.
I checked manual to confirm.

Well, my board sais it supports up to 3333Mhz right now.
I don't think I would push it more than that anyway.... or maybe
Is that drawing to scale is it?
One of the reasons I was considering the deluxe over the rampage was because of the PCI lanes but in reality 16/16/8 and 16/8/8 has maybe 1-2 fps difference!

Wow, that's made me feel better about sticking with the Deluxe.

lol even 8x8x8 has probably that difference, like I say my graphics score in FS aren't affected, even in Extreme
No not to scale
It's really not made easy, though. EK bridges no good.
