Went through the site here for an approved list of membery and found

G.SKILL F3-17066CL9D-4GBTDS 2GB

G.SKILL F3-17066CL9T-6GBTD 2GB  
Problem was, newegg doesn't see to have these specific ones and when I search I get deactivated products. So my question is, would this fit my needs with a new the new ftw board.
 

 
Thanks for anytime spent on this.

Actually at the moment there are no known compatibility issues with memory.
 
We are in the process of upgrading the memory validation list, it is a bit outdated.

Appreciate it !

To Matthew/Jacob, can either of you confirm that the memory I purchased for my rig is compatible? Someone mentioned only 4 gb sticks would work without issue. I purchased [G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL10D-16GBXL]

i hope that's not the case.. I plan using 4 x 8gb crucial ballistix

Yes, it is necessary.  
Maybe be Dominator GT 1866 4x4GB or Mushkin Redline Ridgeback 4x4GB on that list.
I love to see how works 2kits of 2x4GB(16GB) Dominator GT 1866MHz on this board.
I think most of people are interest for 4x4GB RAM.
 

Yes we have several 16GB kits in the lab, no issues to report.

When I ask for Dominator GT 1866 that is because people on CORSAIR forum talk it's not same 4x4GB and two same kits 2x4GB.
I don't know how and why because it's same memory and same revision. They talk maybe incompatibility with two same kits Dominator GT 1866 in Dual Channel.
I think two same kits will work good on my EVGA Z77 FTW.
Never mind I will go with 16GB 1866 enough for me, 2133 exspensive too much for gaming and everyday. 
I can buy almost SSD SATA III for difference in price. 
I saw new CORSAIR Neutron GTX 120.  Perfect option to wait.
Only to see price. I will build this comp until end of 2012 but everything will be like I wish. 
Build for next 3-3.5 years EVGA-CORSAIR Strictly.

 
 
 
 
 

I'm glad you are doing that, EVGA!
 
it helps to have a fresh & official memory compatibility list. the one for Z68 was very lacking and severely outdated ...
 
which memory kits are you putting on the list, 1.5v and lower only or some 1.65v too?

Just built my system and I've been getting memory management BSOD's with a set of G.Skill 2133 8x2 sticks (F3-2133C9D-16GXH). Have tried multiple settings in BIOS to no effect. Win7 x64 seems to run fine for a while and then dumps. I've manually set the timings to no avail. Also re-installed Win7. Going to try memtest next to see if I've got faulty RAM, but this is pretty disheartening.
 
Update 1
Ok, interesting. I've got the timings all set correctly, but... only for one stick. I've tried each stick by itself in slot 2 and individually they work. If I add either one to slot 4 the system will power up, fail post and reboot, then repeat. This is different than before of course when I was having trouble getting the timings correct. Now that they are correct and he RAM is reading at 2133, I can only get one at a time running. Any chance of booting in slot 4 alone to see if maybe I have a problem with the board?
 
Update 2
Scratch that. Just got the BSOD again, but with RAM stick #2 alone in slot 2. Swapped back to stick #1 for the time being. Time to start memtest.

People what you think about this memory, New from my dead and favorit unavailable manufacturer for me.
Two of this CMD8GX3M2A2133C9
Corsair DOMINATOR Platinum Series 2X4GB 2133 1.5V
I am so sad when see some people options.
This is new memory probably better that 2x4GB 1866 1.65V

Yes we know of his. I have a BETA BIOS that can work, if you want to use it now please mail me at jacobf@evga.com, or you can wait for final release this week.
 
It affects some 8GB modules over 2GHz.

I'm using the following RAM and it seems to be working fine for me after a day of gaming using XMP profile 1.  
 
CORSAIR Vengeance 16GB (2 x 8GB) 1866 CMZ16GX3M2A1866C9 
 
Now if we can only get Corsair's website to acknowledge the existence of their own RAM lol.

Hmm, I generally prefer to wait for a final release. But could you expand on what you've seen? I was suspecting a bad RAM stick as I can run all day on the one installed right now, but if I swap it for the other it will blue screen eventually every time. I would have suspected that if it were a BIOS issue, either stick would be affected. Of course, I'm not as up on new RAM technology. XMP profiles are new to me.
UPDATE:
I ran the BIOS update, but that doesn't fix my issue. I'm almost certain it's the one bad RAM stick at this point. Stick A runs with XMP Profile 1, setting it at 2133, which after rebooting BIOS shows running at 2133. Add Stick B and the system won't complete POST. To rule out slot issues, is there any way to successfully boot with a single stick in slot 4 just for testing purposes?
 

Instead of enabling XMP, try just setting 2133MHz in BIOS.

I had also tried that, unfortunately.

The concern is the z77 still offer ram 1.5v instead 1.65v for the best system configuration ???
Thanks

Just got my Z77 this morning + the 3770k and I'm looking at some ram.
 
I really want a 4x4 kit...
 
I'm really partial to Corsair but, at this point, I really want something that's going to work well.
 
Any suggestions? Or would 2x8 actually be better?

If you had the choice 2x8 would be more ideal, it is less stressful on the IMC.

Mushkin actually has a very nice 2x8 kit on the Egg...
 
Jacob, you had said that there are no issues thus far w/these kits, have you had any issues/successes with Mushkin?
 
Has anyone for that matter?

2 sticks always are a better choice over 4 sticks I think. thankfully it's no longer as complicated as it used to be with older cpus and chipsets in past...

Haven't seen any issues. If over 2GHz use BIOS 1.04.

Can everyone post their memory and problems associated
 
I have F3-2600C10Q-16GTXD     G SKill 4 X 4 Gb 2666 1.65V
 
XMP profiles don't work.   Memory is stable at 2133 at 1.65 volts.  Higher settings cause memory posting errors.  I've memtested these at 2133 and they pass all day.  I've tried auto timings and manual.  2400 works but it doesn't stick with frequent posting errors.  I've tried to up CPU VSA and VCCIO but nothing yet.  If anyone has experience running 4X4 gb, can you post some voltages to try.  I'm also looking for a high frequency 2X 8 gb kit that won't break the bank to also try.   G Skill hasn't released theirs yet
 
I called G Skill and they recommended increasing VCCIO.  Jacob, is there an upper limit to VCCIO on this board? Anyone?

My issue appears to be related to a single bad stick out of a pair of 2x8 since I can run at 2133 all day long on one stick, but if I swap for the other in the pair it fails post at 2133 and blue screens on 1366.

intel stock spec for VCCIO as per Sandy Bridge was up to 1.08v
however the absolute limit was like 1.25v which is plenty more.
 
not sure about IVB chips, google the white paper, it should be all their in the specs.
 
VCCIO is the memory controller voltage, so it's logical you need to bump it up for faster memory speeds (at same BCLK).
Jacob also says that VCCSA/CPUVSA needs a bump as well along with faster memory speeds.
 
how far did you go on VCCIO? I run it daily at 1.155v when running 4 sticks @ 2133MHz on Z68 + 2600K.

I went to 1.27 but that didn't work.  I didn't bump the other two.  Last night I had the problem where I corrupted two of the bios and had to perform a reflash. I hit XMP 1 and it looped the post to code 23 (ICM won't run at that frequency which is a know post code for cold bugs)
 
I didn't know that you could reflash them until this morning, so it locked up the rest of the night.  Hopefully I can dedicate one bios to just playing with the memory and see if I can get it at spec.

need to find the intel white paper on ivy bridge 1155, most of voltage limits are listed there.
 
don't go that high again on vccio, for 2 sticks it shouldn't take more than 1.20v ... if it was a sandy bridge.
 
you may want to try again with both vccio and system agent voltage (called cpuvsa in z77 bios) bumped up together at same time... but it would be wise to know the safe limits for 3770K beforehand.
 
there's also a chance that you might have unstable stick(s).

I am having these EXACT same issues, just a different board (Z68) and 1600 memory.  Aside from that, you hit the nail on the head.
 
My original Z68 before it was RMA'd worked flawlessly til it started giveming me  POST 25 on LCD. Now I have the replacement and having nothing but memory issues. 

I ended up getting a set of these and they work great with XMP profile 1. Had no post issues at all with them.
