32GB of ram for under £170, I find that hard to believe, nice find there on Amazon
ASUS bioses are really strong, a lot of people dont give them c redit for that work which is (to me) the main reason for buying a board.
I would opt for Rampage IV Extreme because of LN2 slow switch, it will really make a difference.
Very impressive setup. Shame it costs a fortune
Id love 32gb of ram witht this system
Rampage IV extreme is better. better bios settings.
Sure, rampage is better but you could buy a set of quality memory with this for the same price. its all about finances.
Niccely done. Not sure anyone would need 32GB of ram, id rather go for 8gb or 16GB but clocked faster. maybe just me.
“We could almost imagine that Corsair made this memory specifically for the Asus P9X79 Deluxe Motherboard, as shown above.”
Apart from the fact that corsair won’t be marketing quad channel vengeance with blue heat spreaders.
