Hello,

Try the following site for memory at the best price:
http://www.memorystock.com/memory/ASUSASmobileP8Z68VPROGEN3Mainboard.html

You can go with DDR3-1333MHz memory. Max your system supports is 32GB. It has 4 slots and max per slot is 8GB.

May be I will get these memory from Amazon $3 cheaper than Newegg.
Corsair Vengeance 8 GB ( 2 x 4 GB ) DDR3 1600 MHz (PC3 12800) 240-Pin DDR3 Memory Kit for Core i3, i5, i7 and Platforms SDRAM CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9

I see very good review on newegg and it is Qualified memory from Asus.

I don't know what to do with my old set of memory (F3-12800CL9Q-16GBRL) not qualify with my board.
Any one want to buy this set let me know.
Thanks

Hey Jimmy

That memory that you looking at isn't bad, i have had those modules in the past. Just a personal opinion however the Vengenance heatsink is very badly designed by corsair, and only really looks good in pictures nothing else. If i were to make a suggestion maybe look at Kingston ram preferably Predator X if you can afford it or Kingston Hyper X Grey very good low budget memory. Let me know your thoughts.

Hey Jimmy

I see that don't show it as a product setup maybe just search new egg or local retailer, as i know there are a lot of combination kits our there especially 2 X 4GB, let me know what you find. Below is a link for DDR3 1600 the board will clock them down to 1333MHZ take a look at these sets maybe.

I got email from G-Kill tech support
"The memory is fully compatible with your motherboard. Have you inputted the settings in the BIOS? Do you have the latest version of your BIOS? Please try running Memtest 86 on the memory modules to check the memory for any errors. If you are still interested in a warranty replacement, please visit http://gskill.com/ to fill out an RMA Request Form. Reattach the file in .rtf. We will then issue you an RMA# and provide you with instructions on where to send the memory. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Thank you
-G Skill Support"

they said my memory full compatible, but I have to input some thing in bios setting

Do you know what input they talking about?
my bios set all default auto

AI Overclock Turner = Auto
Turbo ratio = auto
Inter PLL Overvoltage = Auto
Memory Frequency = Auto
Dram timing control = All Auto
