I have 48GB - 6 x (8gb DDR3-1866 Ripjaw X's) and a W3690 running at 4.0ghz without a hiccup on a Asrock X58 Extreme. Just wanted to let you know that you can probably do 48gb on your board if you wanted to max it out.. It has become my secondary computer now, but it has been a workhorse for 10+...
Anybody have this reward bundle that didn't use and want to get rid of it before it expires? Lmk and PM if you have it and what you're looking to get.. Not wanting to spend much, just wanted to try out those 2 games..
Thanks
(1)- Asrock X58 Extreme motherboard with Xeon W3690 cpu - $215 Shipped
Everything is in perfect working condition. Just did an upgrade so I am parting this out..
MB/Cpu combo comes only with the IO shield only. No heatsink, box, etc.. included..
I ran this setup with Hydro Series H60 Liquid...
So, I should put the 7850 in the orange slot and not the 2nd blue x16 slot ? Wouldn't putting the 7850 in the 2nd x16 slot split the bandwidth with the 480 to x8..
I have a Radeon RX480 I use for gaming and everyday use and a Radeon 7850 I use just for Netflix, surfing, etc hooked up to 2 tv's in my house..
My question is, I have a Asrock X58 Extreme motherboard that has 3 x PCI Express 2.0 x16 slots (2x16 slots(blue @ x16 mode) and 1 orange @ x4 mode...

Cool, thanks for the input.. I'll keep my eyes open and do a little research..Won't need any beast of cards like those, most the games I play are older, (Dayz, BF4, etc..)
I imagine the Polaris/Pascal will be expensive upgrade? I'm hoping when everyone starts upgrading there will be some good used deals on 7970/280x/ or 290's.. I'm patient just recently started doing a little gaming after a long break and thought my 7850's might need a little upgrade..
I'm thinking about upgrading my 2x7850's to (2x7970's or 2x280x's) when some good used deals start surfacing... Think this is a decent upgrade choice from my 7850's? I'm just looking for a cheap upgrade for what I have now...
I've been using this for awhile.. Gives alot of info.. Here is the link:

Tri-Channel Memory Question.
I think if you have six slots and put 2 sticks in bank 1 thats single channel, then 2 in bank 2 = dual, and 3 in bank 3 = triple.. So you proably would at least want 4 - 8's to ensure dual..KazeoHin put an illustration in that thread to...

Put as much in as you can afford.. I maxed my x58 motherboard out..I have 6-8gb sticks in a Asrock X58 extreme motherboard and it's running the full 48gb and in triple channel perfectly.. Probably don't need that much memory but what the heck it was dirt cheap when I bought it, got (3) 2x8's of...

I was a little paranoid with my H60 when I first got it about a month ago about leaking, constantly looking..But now that is over and I couldn't be happier with the performance..Much cooler now than my old Cooler Master V8..
A SSD drive would be a nice upgrade to the M11x.. I put one in mine as well as 8GB of DDR3 memory and it has breathed a little more life into this classic of a laptop..
