Sabertooth 990fx R2, what are good, currently available options?

[von_karolinas]

The above MB, with AMD 9590 cpu, looking to add 32gb memory. Everything on the NVL list is unavailble.

Do you have that CPU now? If so, are you looking for a motherboard to use with it?

If you don't have that CPU, don't buy it. It runs very hot, uses a lot of power, and is known for having stability issues.

Please clarify.

What do you have now?

You can't add 32gb, the max supported capacity for that motherboard is already 32gb.

It is unlikely that spending money on an old FX system is a good idea.

Right now it is at 0gb. The old memory went bad earlier this year. Originally I was running 16gb but since I have to replace the memory I figured I'd go all the way to 32gb As far as spending money on it not being a good idea, I don't see why, it worked splendidly until this happened.

If you go to a ram vendor web site, you can access their ram selection app.
Most ram vendors have them.
Enter your motherboard and you will get a list of supported ram kits.

As to spending on a FX system, I suppose you could.
But, you will be buying ddr3 ram which is no longer used in current gen processors.
The FX cores are relatively slow, at least for a gamer.
If you are running batch apps, a FX-9590 with 8 threads, that is a much better case.
