Does the x58 SLI support 8GB RAM Modules? I'm getting a deal on a 3x8GB (24GB) RAM kit and was wondering if the x58 will recognize the RAM. Has anyone tried it yet?

Hi, according to the manual it supports up to 24GB or RAM. It doesn't say if it supports 8GB modules or not.

12 GB is NOT the max. I'm running 6 4 GB sticks of Corsair DDR3 with no problems on the X58 SLI. My buddy also has one and is running 3 8GB sticks. As far as I know, no problems.

My Mobo's model number is EVGA E758-A1. I just confirmed again that this board supports 24GB of RAM but unfortunately I can't post links. dockerthedog

So it DOES support 8GB sticks then? Is your friend using the regular x58 or the Classified?

hey, this is great news for me in lots of ways, i have the x58 mobo and i did buy a corsair 24 gig set of ram but i cant get the pc to boot with all 6 sticks in it. i looked around read manuels and checked evga pages and i kept seeing that it only supported max 12 gigs unles you have the classified mobo. i would love to know if he had to do something in the bios to get it to take all 24 gigs. i have three brand new sticks looking at me on my desk and its sort of depressing. thanks for the info upfront and the help i would kill to have all 6 sticks in there.

My buddy is running the same board I am, the X58 SLi (758) @killabee98 All I did was plug em in, set the timings and volts. You might check your ram divider to make sure they are at or below spec, depending on your OC. Also, on my other pc, if I dont manually set the volts, it won't boot at all and I have to clear the cmos. 24 GB Showed up on first boot and I've not had any problems that I didn't create ( my sticks won't do 1 mhz over 1600 no matter how much juice I pump in em) I am running the 77 bios.

didnt even think to look at the bios presets and see whats up there, thanks for the heads up brother, this is my first evga mobo so im learning i guess you can say. i just got out of a asus p6t deluxe sucker started acting retarded on me and wouldnt update bios in anyway. so far im loving the evga gear. ill check out the ram as soon i get to the crib. way out here in kuwait not alot of people know about high end pc's. so again thanks. ill let you know if i get it to work. dont like seeing those pretty dimms sitting there while i play lol..

I just got 3 x 8 GB and would like to confirm that this board does indeed support 24GB. It had no problem recognizing the 8GB sticks and I'm on bios 83.
