You have to use a 32GB quad channel KIT (not 2 X16GB kits) to be sure that the sticks were tested together as functional. Ram can be single or double sided and drams of dif densities, or from dif vendors on dif manuf runs. This is 90% of these type issues. I currently use Crucial ballistix sport...

A vendor on Amazon (ALB-System) is advertising 7 or 8 ASUS C2 boards but they note delivery 1-3 weeks, which I assume means they are preselling boards based on what they were told about delivery. Note that they are showing no boxes - I assume because they dont have any. Also their customer...

Theres a vendor site in U.K. showing various ASUS C2 mobo as available 10-2-13. As I see it, retail sales of non essential consumer items is very depressed right now, perhaps causing the natural depletion of C1 inventory to be slowed, repeatedly forcing the C2 intro date into the future. Also I...

Replaced CPU cooler on Asus p8Z77 - V pro board, system is going haywire since

The POS PSU blew a fuse or power transistor. Pray it didnt take anything else with it. Do NOT fix it, and their RMA is non existent, so just buy an XFX Pro 750 or 800

How to check for C2 steppings on chipset for Haswell motherboards?

all current retail ASUS Z87 are C1 The $64,000 question is whether the mobo makers will eventually offer an exchange for C1 mobo, or perhaps a resolder of SB, or will they just leave everything as is. I guess I will have to call Intel one of these days to find out. No one else seems to know.
