Quad Channel RAM for X79 Mobo

[SmileyChief]

Hi guys, I have relatively little experience with pcs and I need some help to choose some suitable RAM. I haven't bought any components yet, I'm just researching. I plan on getting an i7 4960x and the Asus Rampage IV Black Edition. This is intended for gaming and medium to high intensity graphics related work.

I have a few criteria which go as follows; 32gb, DDR3, quad channel, 2133Mhz, cas latency 9 (the lower the timings, the better) in a 4x8gb configuration. My budget is really open ended, so could anyone recommend me some high quality RAM with those specs.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820104376 This seems like the closest you can get with whats on the supported memory list for the mobo. Here is a link to that page as well, http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/LGA2011/RAMPAGE_IV_BLACK_EDITION/R4BE_DRAM_QVL.pdf

There is obviously other kits out there that might work, GSKILL has always been great for me, but as I mentioned that kingston kit is probably going to be your best option with the least amount of hassle.

hop on newegg, gskill trident 32gb kit. 2133 9-11-11-31 timings. I dont think ANYONE makes 2133mhz memory with lower rated timings than 9-11-11-31

I run Mushkin Redline DDR3-2133 9-11-10-28

At 2133/9 the Tridents X or the Ripjaws Z would prob be your best bet, the Tri's are just great performers in IB, Haswell and X79, the Ripjaws Z line was designed w/ X79 in mind.

I think I've found exactly what I want: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231564
Any thoughts?

Yep, great choice, have used those on a few X79s, they can run a little tighter tRFC than most 2133/9 sets, can often get them at 255 rather than the quasi norm of 278 or so
