    socket 1151 only has a dual memory controller, although quad memory will still work, but only run as dual, so id stick with 2x8

    Yup 2x8GB. Being able to upgrade to 32GB is a gift.

    Taking your times probably best you can then buy the best you can afford rather then cheaper alternatives.

    Have you bought your processor yet? The sky lakes that are locked can now be over clocked using certain bios so it's worth having a read up on them.

    not really got into water cooling but I do like the look of the rajjintek one.

    Why does "fat chance" and "slim chance" mean
    the same thing?

    They all come with thermal layer pre-applied but it is almost always shit compared to Arctic Silver.

    I'm sure the pre-applied stuff will be fine. You're better off not fucking about with it and risking mucking it up.

    Have read these reviews before. But from first hand experience it makes a difference. Have cured overheating PC's by simply scraping off the old thermal paste and using silver.
    Difference in reported CPU temperatures too.

    To be fair you should be ok from brand new though. I find it makes more of a difference with rigs after a couple of years.

    need a bit of input on RAM fellas....

    posted this to Asus ROG's facebook page...

    '

    - Hi. I bought your Hero VIII board and wanted to know if the G.Skill Ripjaws V 16GB (2x 8GB) 3000MHz DDR4 RAM is compatible..
    Its not listed in the manual but wanted to double check before ordering...
    Thanks

    - ASUS Republic of Gamers UK Hi Bryan smile. I would recommend sticking to listed RAM as there may be compatibility issues with other modules, and we aren't able to provide help for anything that isn't officially supported!
    I want to go for the RIPJAWS V Series... http://www.cclonline.com/product/186...y-Kit/RAM2975/, so i can eventually upgrade to 32gb later on...

    do you think there would be any issues as it isnt "officially" supported...

    in the manual the only g.skill memory either 3000mhz or above is 4x4gb layouts... and its the g.skill ripjaws 4 series...

    You would most likely have no issues at all. They are simply saying they haven't tested it.

    There is never a 100% guarantee for these kind of things but any stability issues are usually sorted by a quick firmware update.

    Thanks to piggzy
