    Can 8GB of corsair DD3 support 790i boards?

    Ive had alot of trouble with DDR3 ram on 790i.

    Has anyone got 4-8GB working on the boards with corsair ram?
    I know the board is very picky.

    If so which ram exactly?

    I'm also very interested in this inquiry. There's got to be some people running 8GB on a 790i around here

    So far, everything we make in DDR3 boots an runs just fine on the 790i. I have not seen any of our guys doing 8gb yet and I have not either. I'm sure the chipset will do it but at what speed....who knows.

    I'm about to do this in a day or two with 8GB of WIN3X40961600C7DHXIN on Striker II Extreme.

    You guys have me worried a bit now lol.

    Purely a guess but with proper memory controller cooling, I'd guess 1600+ running 4 up, maybe even 1800+.
