I purchased a X79 DARK.
 
Intel 4820K processor.
 
Any suggestions on Memory/ram? There is a lot of options out there.
 
Leaning towards 16gb in a 4x4gb configuration. maybe 32gb 4x8gb configuration.
 
What is everyone using? Make and part number? XMP? speed?
 
Would be nice to get a list together for future X79 DARK owners.
 
Thank you

    Personally I am using G.Skill 2666 (2400 without OC) normally I don't recommend XMP as I just say to set it right yourself, but, for the sake of testing, I enabled XMP and zero issues, all I had to do was set the voltage.

    That's the Kit I personally use, I recommended it to Hallowen in the Get it Colder thread in our overclocking and Benching section and to my knowledge he is still running it.  There is a 16gb version of this as well.
     
    This is on my Dark, BIOS 2.10 with a 4930k.

    I am running the Corsair Dominator Platinum 2133 ( 4 x 4gb), and it runs beautifully on my system.
    It runs at it's 2133 XMP profile at 1.50v solid.
    I have been very pleased with this ram on my Dark.
