  • I have a QVL question for ASUS P9X79 WS

    Hello everyone...

    I have the Intel 3930K / Asus P9X79 WS combo and wanted to get (8Gx8) 1600 Ram for it... G.SKILL Ripjaws Z Series 64GB (8 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL10Q2-64GBZL

    And luckily my P9x79 WS is in the Qualified Motherboards List Ram of the above Ram...

    But then some things let to another and I, maybe convinced to get these ones instead... G.SKILL Ripjaws Z Series 64GB (8 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2133 (PC3 17000) Desktop Memory Model F3-17000CL11Q2-64GBZLD

    But then the dilemma begins...

    In the Qualified Motherboards List THERE IS NO "ASUS P9X79 WS" MOBO?!! There is "ASUS P9X79 DELUXE"

    Yet Deluxe and WS are not very different in terms of handling the memory.. what is more, I believe "P9X79" has better OC benchmark than "Deluxe"

    So why ASUS P9X79 WS is NOT in the Qualified Motherboards List For Ripjaws Z (8 x 8GB) (PC3 17000) ???

    Any help would be greatly appreciated because I will have to order one or the other very soon...

    Thank you very much before hand...

    I would guess that GSkill hasn't yet had a chance to test on that mobo yet or (possibly more likely) Asus doesn't have the BIOS up to snuff yet for 64GB of 2133....initially they did the Rampage iV extreme and then they got it going on the Deluxe recently, so they may be working their way down pricewise which would put the WS as next in line, followed by the Rampage iV Formula
