Default 8 gig ram module for Sandy Bridge 2600
Hi,

I built a system for a tech client using a Gigaybyte GA-H67A-UD3H, which has 4 ram slots. I now require 4 8gb ram modules for the thing. I have been able to find 4x4 ram kits no problem, but have been unable to locate 8gb chips, or have found anyone who has used 8gb chips in their build.

1) Do they exist yet?
2) If so, who makes them?

Thank you for your help,

Utopian81

Just out of curiosity what OS do you plan to use if you want to run 8gb x 4

I work in the audio business, and we use computers to play back large files to replicate an entire orchestra. Some of these libraries can use huge amounts of ram to work. I have many clients who's systems have 24 gig of ram or more, and in this case we need more than 16... it's too small, and when we load up the files we use we are over the 16 gig available.

I looked into the samsung, and they only have 4gb . We need DDR3 1333 none ecc 8 gig chips only. I can get server ram (ECC) without any problems, but that won't work.

im not quite sure it will take all those 8 gig ram sticks, not to talk about compatibility.

and price. for massive ammounts of ram, 1366 is still better.

give it a try and let us know how it turns out :)

The board can use 4 X 8gig memory modules up to 32gb .. I talked to Gigabyte yesterday but they haven't got any recommended 8 gig ram YET. Price is not an issue.

i understand. the fact that they haven't tested any retail kits(no recommendation would imply that) would worry me a little bit.

awaiting your results. and gl with the build!
