Before i actually go out and buy an EVGA X58 and RAM i would like to know which Corsair RAM is most compatable with the motherboard. I spent a lot of money on my previous setup which was  a XFX 790i, 2x XFX GTX 280 + Corsair RAM and i experience computer lock ups / restarts on a weekly basis which to this point still haven't figured out what is causing it.

My setup will be:

EVGA X58 Classified (3 way SLI version)
i7 930 CPU
HD 5970 or new GTX300 series card

At the moment im leaning towards the Corsair CMG6GX3M3A1600C7 6GB Kit Dominator GT and wondering if this is 100% compatible with the EVGA X58 motherboard.

My computer will be used for gaming and light overclocking.

corsair is an excellent choice! i run the 2k gt kit with no problems its a bit pricey, i paid $330.00 for my kit, now its like $392! @ the egg

You should be able to run that RAM with no issue at all.  Plus, you can't go wrong with Corsair.  I wouldn't use any other RAM.  Right now, I'm running 12 GB of this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145224 and I have no problem at all.  I even have my Core i7 920 overclocked to 4.0 ghz @ 1.29 vCore.  It looks like the only difference between the Dominator GT and  the regular Dominator series RAM is that the GT seems to have better timings.  The GT kit you're looking at runs at 7-7-7-20.  The kit I have runs at 8-8-8-24 memory timings.  So basically it's the same RAM, but has tighter timings so it probably has better performance.

I hope this helps :)

Dominators, Dominator GTs, Dominator GTX, XMS3.

Wait, Corsair doesn't make any DDR3 that isn't compatible with EVGA's X58 boards.

I just bought a set of Dominator for my system today since I have to RMA my Mushkin 998691s. I would recommend them or Mushkin.

The i7 930 is a direct replacement for the i7 920. There shouldn't be a issue with Corsair at all. So if you read some reviews on the 930, Intel just did some refinements on the 930 notably bumped up the stock Ghz from 2.66, (for the 920) to 2.8 for 930.
Here's a link to read a review on the 930:  http://www.bit-tech.net/h...e-i7-930-cpu-review/1.

For a good 2000Mhz kit, I would suggest the following:
(From best price/performance ratio)
G Skill Pi+Turbulence
Corsair Dominators GT
Kingston HyperX T1
G Skill Trident
(Least expensive, ok performance)

I would get the G Skill Pi+Turbelence due to the low timings and its pricing is very aggressive compared to Corsair. I am thinking of getting a kit of these as soon as they come back in stock.

Yes don't listen to the compatibility list IMO it's full BS, anyways I run me some G.skill ripjaws 2000 6gb kit, they're great! I've had to Rma one stick though, the Rma is the easiest I've ever done! Corsair is great but I would recommend g.skill though

im running Gskill trident's here, 2000mhz 6 gig pack run @ 1600 / 6-7-6-18 for me :)

Hmmmm it's a hard decision... Corsair Dominator GT or GTX and G.skill Trident seems to be exellent memory and they would look hot on the Classified. What do you think about OCZ Reaper? http://www.ocztechnology.com/products/memory/ocz_ddr3_pc3_16000_reaper_low_voltage_triple_channel
Any experiences?

I don't have the Classified verison, but I use A-Data memory.  Works great!

Yeah, thank you all for the good memory suggestions. I think I will order the G.skill Trident... The performance and stability seems to be very good on pretty each mainboard (looking at some user reviews) and they will look so awesome on the Classified, cause they fit perfectly to its color theme

 I'm surprised that no one mentioned Mushkin Redline
I thought they were good as well...

Lol well their awesome ram for 1600 but some people just need those extra 400mhz, if anyone could find mushkin redline enhanced then I would be all over them man!

I have so much trouble with the OCZ Gold.

Get one with XMP profile and you will be fine.

How do you even find these threads from 2010 ..... to necro ?
 
 

Memory compatibility charts are rarely ever updated past 3 months of a boards' release by most manufacturers anyways,... so it would be extremely rare for them to go back and test more sticks , like these. ( which I believe came out after this board went to retail ) 
 
Best bet is to buy from a store with a good return policy , just in case.  

Most memory brands will work in the X58. You can always ask the manufacturer if you are not sure.
 
Corsair for example has a memory finder app on their website.
