24GB of RAM Detected in Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit on the Rampge III Extreme Linus Tech Tips

[xInFaMoUsREMiiX]

The only reason i can think of for having 24gig of RAM is if you are a nerd in there mums basement

[iGameAlotOnTunngle]

@xInFaMoUsREMiiX Always someone on the internet trying to offend someone. If you can't use your imagination for as to why someone would need that much then maybe just maybe, google it or ask like ccpcakes did. My setup is gonna have that much because i game a lot and host servers. For instance, 8 gigs of ram on a minecraft server is shit if you actually want full potential/more people on it. 24 would just be heaven.

[PainfulOrpheus]

In 5 years we will laugh at these comments about 24 gigs. that will be like pocket change probably when we are using terabytes of ram.

[funnyshitguy]

@PainfulOrpheus 5 years for terabytes of RAM? If anything 50 years.

[PainfulOrpheus]

@funnyshitguy lol that was an exaggeration but the amount has doubled every year or two. I remember when 2 gigs was more than enough for xp and that was just like 5-6 years ago now we use 8-16. Sometimes I use 10gigs but I never hit 16. With the technology in gaming doubling every generation I would not doubt that using up to 48gigs by 2020 is acceptable.

[funnyshitguy]

@PainfulOrpheus Ha, yeah. Although the future is leaning more towards cloud computing, where the servers do all the dirty work and send the info back to your device. Could be a nice idea, cloud RAM. Maybe even have a mini-dedicated CloudRAM server in your closet and hook it up to your home network, and your computers won't need RAM anymore. Though we would have to find a way to transfer all the data from the CloudRAM server to your PC's faster then with a CAT cable... Interesting, if you ask me.

[TheAndroidNerd]

@funnyshitguy not really, many server rack computers, use 1.5 terabytes per motherboard :) the future is sooner then u think!

[Idi257]

can anyone help me. my hard disk drive is losing memory everyday. I didn't even install or download anything but now it decreased from 486 GB to 478 GB. please reply, is it worm or something? I used Microsoft Security Essentials to scan and it found nothing. Please help me anyone.

[roborocks93]

@Idi257 its probably just tempory internet file's, cookies ect from searching the internet and stoof nothing harmful.

[maxfactor2007]

24gb is standard in the dual cpu world... my Tyan S2932 has 16 ram slots.... and i am using 2gb chips.... young padewans dont realise that speed of ram is really nothing... its the amount that counts.... i am currently at 16gb looking to go 48gb with 8 4gb sticks...

[keith12161]

i cannot find a video with someone with 192gb of ram :/ its like legit impossible

[elitedw]

@keith12161 192gb is just there to be ready for the next set of RAM. It's likely DDR4 will be able to reach such heights.

[keith12161]

@elitedw it is possible to have it i just cannot find it i found a picture on google of a motherboard with 4 processors and 24 ram spots 8x24=192 it was a mainframe computer motherboard but all the same it can have 192gb of ram and i would legit love to see it XD

[HaliaeetusOsprey]

Title says 'Rampge'.

[MathieuCore2]

I bet you can run 10 battlefield 3, on 10 monitors XD

[FEAR6655]

@MathieuCore2 Far from it, he's running a low end GPU that wouldn't even run the game well on 1 monitor.

[graymalkin1234]

@CCPcakes any sort of intensive CPU work, you need to store a lot of data in ram for it to work on. Working with Gigapixel images in Photoshop is a good example

[ninehoursful]

can i run Pacman on it!!

[Hubbdog75]

so im gonna build my own pc with a $1000 budget, anyone got any tips?

[jchambers2586]

I like the uefi bios better than the old bios

[Ha11owed]

You need to test the ram ? then just use a few virtual machines. 30 windows 7 virtual machines should do the trick.

[Hewleri]

No that is not the solution, the answer is to change places of the RAM memories.

[Niskiist1]

using 4GB DDR3 and cpu AMD, my Windows 7 Ultimate running Super Mario 64 with 43% of used ram, the game running max 60 fps. lol.

[Hewleri]

Still not working for me.

[Hewleri]

Thank u Linus. 

[xxdeathx]

cpu usage 100% lmao @ 3:17 doesn't matter how much ram you got lol

[daxster25]

@xxdeathx

he was using a program to make it 100%

[CCPcakes]

Why does anybody need 24GB of RAM?

[robthatguyx]

@CCPcakes massiveoverkill bragging rights and heavy HEAVY photo editiing

[wtfpieisgood]

@robthatguyx no..... it to have a huge minecraft world!!!

[bryanjustinshonmom]

@CCPcakes i do to play games

[Meverett1000]

@bryanjustinshonmom You don't need 24 gigs of ram to play games...

[IamTheJesusGuy]

@bryanjustinshonmom obvious troll is obvious.

[MyAltruistic]

@CCPcakes no one really does actually,except maybe he's doing a lot of rendering stuffs and those extra RAM can be useful i suppose.i have 16GB of RAM btw..=P

[sPrinGfield0207]

@CCPcakes holding a really big mysqldb ;-)

[4286722]

@CCPcakes For many Virtual Machines :)

[MrFullBlooded]

@CCPcakes virtual machines, 3DMax and other things!

[SchafeyWafey]

@CCPcakes I have 64 gigs which I need for my 3D work.

[TalesOfWar]

@CCPcakes Content creation. Ask anybody who works with video or high resolution graphics or lots of audio tracks and so on, and they'll tell you more RAM = good!

[zeansor]

@CCPcakes i need more then 24gb of ram for my work.

[elitedw]

@CCPcakes Ram gets eaten very quickly when dealing with video editing, 3d modeling, having multiple programs open at once. It's not just for browsing the web.

[markothevrba]

@CCPcakes Probably some hardcore simulation programs... For a normal user 8GB is more than enough if you ask me

[MrChiefBlackhawk]

@CCPcakes The real question is: Why does anybody need 192GB of RAM?

[MartyHITD]

@MrChiefBlackhawk Only people that need that are powerful servers, e.g. A dedicated gaming sever. Or CGI render farm systems. 

[xAxisTechOFFICIAL]

@MrChiefBlackhawk server and 3d rendering

[brandoncyoung]

@CCPcakes computer rendering./ visual effects

[TheHeew]

@CCPcakes who doesn't? x]

[MastodonicRobotnik09]

@CCPcakes Servers and Workstations will definitely need 24GB of RAM.

[luqejorge]

@CCPcakes Why not?

[MrSebastian18510]

Nice !!

[iRant4u]

What recreational use possible uses 24 gigs of RAM? my computer runs slow at just over 1 gig of ram on an old motherboard with no video card and a 3.6GHz processor. Im gonna build a new computer, but seriously 24 gigs?

[Cpillin425]

Motherboards don't support 24 gig even though manufacturers say they do. My best gues is it's probably the memory controller on the CPU itself. So the the CPU is not compatible with 24gigs.

[RachelxRoulette]

I just built a computer similar to this XD i7 six core, 24gb ram, gtx 560 video card, runs like a boss

[Markgb3]

@RachelxRoulette But can you watch porn on it?

[jishan22]

Hibernate the computer!

[DFFAS2009]

run minecraft with the command the size youre memory is via a batch file just search for it on google

[lopbox]

very nice vid

[OCE4500]

Try virtual ee

[EmoticonMayhem]

@vodahn1941 he works for a pc company, they let him borrow stock to do unboxings and tests, mainly as a sneaky marketing strategy

[deltafan909]

memtest...

[timhtje]

24 gig RAM and 12 core CPU 0.o

[Kuparilevy]

@timhtje It actually is 24 gig RAM and 6-core CPU with HyperThreading enabled.

[vodanh1941]

fucking rich asshole

[frjoethesecond]

Run 24 instances of memtest.

[redzaturn]

I made 40 gig with 5 8 gig flash drives and windows ready boost

[bmw2go11]

@redzaturn is that even possible?

last time i checked readyboost (vista) it was limited to 2gb

lol i couldn't even begin to imagine how long it would take to transfer THAT MUCH data

[redzaturn]

Make a bat file that endlessly opens cmd and see how many sec the thing lasts before crashing

[ryan9298b2]

I threw a 990x and 24GB of Corsair Dominator GT 2000 into this mobo and it posted right up. (Dual GTX 560Ti) Go into prime and do a custom test and put in 24576MB for Ram test

[Gamer2thaMAX]

bro clam down

[fetchcats123]

Run GTA IV High settings no commandline with enb series and lets see how it frikin runs like

[rutz0000001]

Intel Burn Test that will hit ALL the available ram

I have this board and have 12gig corsair dominator GT ram and it only see 8gig when run at 2000mhz as rated but when i run it at 1800 or 1600 it see all 12gig ,,,,,, ow well lol

[gprswap3]

But will it blend?

[d789b]

It's hard to believe, that 10 years ago, just the thought of 2gb of ram was crazy, now it has lived passed its dream, crazy.

[CanineVideoGaming]

i have 16 gigs

[Mk2SoLDiEr]

But, will it run Super Mario Bros?

[Omar33720]

What motherboard is that?

[ken6x]

@Omar33720 rampage 3

[TutorialsByKevin]

@Omar33720 Asus Rampge III

[Tigersann]

I actually need more, i do 3d graphics and some scenes i render use up all 24 GB ram WHEN IT SHOWS UP!!! That option you turned on didnt help me My bios detects 16GB instead 24GB and its basically a roulette sometimes it detects 24 sometimes 16, for totally no reason... :/

[HappyEgg222]

LOL I ONLY HAVE 2 GIGS

[gangstah849]

now i am ashamed of my 3 gigs of ddr2 memory

[nourddinexfx]

why your cpu usage is 100% !!!!

[nourddinexfx]

@nourddinexfx ok ok loooool

[moeschizlac]

All the folks that say that they are ok with 8Gb or 4Gb are just finding excuses for not adding more ram because it is beyond their budget.

[moeschizlac]

I'm sitting on 10GB of ram right now :)

[jaydeng95]

@moeschizlac do you have 12gb installed? I'm on 10gb too with 12gb installed :S

[moeschizlac]

@jaydeng95 No, I actually have 10Gb ddr2 800 installed. I have four memory slots. 2X4Gb and 2X1GB

[bjuszczak6]

stressing 24GB of RAM? Minecraft with a high res texture pack will eat that...

[ztilo]

i watched this whole video not knowing a damn thing .. Don't ask why... i felt like a mexican watching CNN...

[DerMasterFisch]

@ztilo hahahah pues quien sabe de que mexicanos estaras hablando por que yo entiendo 5 idiomas

[SWOgottaGO]

@DerMasterFisch ROFL PWN

[Hewleri]

@ztilo Racist comment. 

[mapukmapuk]

WTF 12 cores CPU!

[kevinstampe]

@mapukmapuk it's a 6-core with 2 threads per core. That is called hyperthreading. And some software and even sometimes BIOS will show it as 12 cores.

[mapukmapuk]

@kevinstampe ow tnx, can you help me please? i dont know good english, i watched alot of videos about overclocking CPU and RAM but i cant understand people by their speaking... i have AMD Athlon II X4 630 2,8Ghz and two cards of 2gb RAM 800Mhz CL5 (4gb all) and windows 7 ultimate 64bit.... i know if i overclock only the cpu speed it dont make big change.. people say that i need to overclock the ram too with the cpu but my cpu and ram works on max frenquency, wait i need more spece to write lol!

[mapukmapuk]

@mapukmapuk space*

[mapukmapuk]

@kevinstampe my RAM is DDR2 4GB 800Mhz CL5*, can you please guide me how to overclock the ram with the cpu please? i have normal cooling system and once i overclocked the cpu to 3,6ghz from 2,8ghz but then i removed it because of the heat... but on 3,2ghz its normal.. why i can only overclock the speed of cpu but the ram not? i tried to overclock the ram in difrent ways: cl,speed / cl / speed - but all these is show overclocking fail... if i touch the ram from the BIOS it wont work,no space...

[kevinstampe]

@mapukmapuk It is always wisest not to overclock more than 10%, if not lower. And if you have no knowledge about OCing, go find tuts on the internet :)

[mapukmapuk]

@kevinstampe you cant just read all my comments? oh nevermind

[kevinstampe]

@mapukmapuk I can't tell you what to do, precisely. It is different, from system to system.

[mapukmapuk]

@kevinstampe please say me the best things to overclock my cpu and ram! i realy need it, TNX!

[kevinstampe]

@mapukmapuk Depends on many things, such as your mobo, your cooler, your cpu and processor.

[mapukmapuk]

@kevinstampe lol i typed 2 full comments about it

[kevin92952]

(Nice work)-{THANKS}!

[SithBerserker1488]

Nice, Now I wanna see you use that power opening a 5 million polygon scene in 3dsMax =P

[jackzee44]

to test your memory, just create a batch file that opens itself over and over again.

[nukedmaster]

This is old, but a custom blend will let you use more memory. Just make sure you have the latest Prime95

[lucakiss70]

lol i remember when i had 20 gigs of hdd :D

[mahlithebest]

See how many copies of UT3 you can run.

[MrTabarnaco2]

I have the SAME keyboard ! HIGH FIVE !!! :D

[miramaldito]

@MrTabarnaco2 ME TOO!!

[WatchmenDrManhattan]

My computer is using way too much ram but only after one year or so of use

it is a core 2 duo white 4 gb ram for example now I have only the web browser up & I have 0 mb free HELP

[123Tamnguyen]

just open up all the game u have on ur pc

[Jmerino7]

But will it blend?

[ht448]

now play minecraft

[lapalma123]

@ht448 :D

[RetrousseRaptor]

@ht448 5,000,000,000,000 FPS!!!

[SuperZEROSTAR]

@ht448 what do you mean?

[ht448]

@SuperZEROSTAR Minecraft uses mainly RAM and cpu

[someinterwebguy]

LOL @ "ASS-Rock" in the beginning of the video.

[iNf3rNuSdI4bLuS1]

plz don't use ATI/AMD graphics on that!!!!!! go nvidia, the way it's meant to be played!!!! (intel/nvidia AMD/ATI) u get it?

ohh and btw, in sooo many thing u got in there, don't u have any PC parts u don't want, that u can give, me, i need to upgrade my sys?

[mzfckr993]

@iNf3rNuSdI4bLuS1 are you from the u.s.?

[iNf3rNuSdI4bLuS1]

@mzfckr993 nope not from US, i'm from Costa Rica(central america) although i love the US and i hate mexicans ^^

[mzfckr993]

@iNf3rNuSdI4bLuS1 oh, just asked that because your comment was extremely stupid

[XxmabezxX]

@iNf3rNuSdI4bLuS1 Its a test bench, he's not doing a GFX bench mark

[Southbayable]

@SourpeachProductions and I have a 24" porn star penis.

[FreakMeBaby88]

@Southbayable oh yes please

[SourpeachProductions]

my mom has a 2,000 dollar computer with 1 tb free of memory

and 44 gb of RAM

[monkeymane11]

@SourpeachProductions im going to call your B-B-B-B- BULLSHIT! on that claim sir

[SourpeachProductions]

@monkeymane11 woops sorry, she actually has 9 gb of ram :/ sorry for that

[markothevrba]

Congraturlations now you have more memory space then I have Hard drive space, you win!

[Leignheart]

@vistakid10 hey vistakid, who gives a flying dog crap if 8gb is good enough for you. should no one buy a luxury car because a grimlin is good enough to take you from point a to point b? should a person not buy a mansion because a shack is good enough to live in? seriously life would suck if we could never advance and get that something that is better than what we currently have. i hate it when people are downers.

[brewfest2008]

@Leignheart

because buying 24GB 1333Mhz of is a complete waste, not even a benchmarking program can make use of that LOL, you would be much better off spending all that money on 8GB 2133MHz, I'd rather have ram thats twice as fast.

[Munro98]

if you have that much ram download ramdisk and load the game into the ram and play games with very short loading times!!

[sofnsable]

linus's banner reminds me of the "haters gonna hate"

[juano402]

lol what cpu cooler?

[wizkid5059]

Any new game, I'd try Age of Conan, Borderlands, or wait for MW3.

[TheStreetballa1]

what the cpu fan u using on that motherboard>

[Mrcerimo]

@TheStreetballa1 its the stock cooler. it comes whit the cpu.

[Lvent2101]

lolol task manager looks funny with that much core

[deepthoughtsthinker]

@Lvent2101 *looks happy*

[50FILSWILD]

my new motherboard got 48GB DDR3 Corsair Ram installed :)

[noobfilmpjes]

@50FILSWILD doesn't exist, idiot!

[Neebio]

@noobfilmpjes This is where your making yourself look like an idiot. Motherboards with tri-channel ram will typically have 6 ram slots, and if you fill each with 8GB ram sticks, you have 48 GB ram. As to why you would ever need this much? don't ask me. (a motherboard like the ASUS P6T V2 Deluxe could probably do it, with its 6 ram slots, as an example)

[cvrpaddycvr]

@50FILSWILD Why lie ?

[xxbrandonshireyxx]

@50FILSWILD 8gb modules on tri channel im assuming?

[genanmer]

lol, yeay for ramdisk

oh and load that thing up with Boinc projects

[DystopianCinema]

Edit the shit out of R3D footage and see how long it takes!!!! =D

[thegreenleak]

Linus, to stress 24gb of ram you need to wait about 10 years! I bought 24 gb of vengeance which has a lifetime waranty so i will probably never have to buy memory ever again.

[GreatSteamingCatBox]

@Plazmehh Try typing without capitalizing every damn word

[DEKARONGAMER97]

it was probably made fore 3D movie rendering

[secretRBRman]

my windows 7 is so slow to boot up. its installed on ocz vertex 3 120gb with sata3 setup. using rampage III extreme mobo, with latest drivers for ocz, marvell and mobo. It could be because it needs to load so many parts, i've got a total of 6 different model HD's working separately.

[kimyo1973]

I tried that and it still don't find all my ram which is only 12 gigs. Only way it shows is to put it on xmp and then I can't overclock my cpu. Please help if anyone has any ideals.

[WuanaBao]

I need help, I installed an extra 4gb of memory on my computer, and when installed I was hoping for it to increase the "total" amount of physical memory I could use. I was at 3327 with 4gbs, but still same result with 8gbs, I installed in hopes of more available space to use.

[jameswalsh5683]

@WuanaBao you need a 64bit OS

[yhloh8]

Me not 24 GB RAM me 4 GB RAM.

[XenatR]

@yhloh8 are you mexican?

[yhloh8]

@XenatR im a malaysian.

[amidamaru0086]

The Intel Burn Test (google that) is basically a pre-packaged way to run linpack on x86 PC's and will use as much ram as is available, afaik. Try that linus.

[FiveMillionAnd2]

is it just me or does he sound like a gay steve carrell?

[moondog203]

You don't have enough ram to play minesweeper though.

[texxas2010]

Take a very very high res image file and resize it 500-800% with photoshop.

[farfuckinout]

...yea i'm ok with 8gb

[TrojanMuzic]

Intel Burn Test? OCCT? - for high ram usage.

[nintendowiirulz]

Use it do find the ultimate question.

[Skopeutarakos]

if i put a 24g ram i think my pc is begin to take fire!xDDD

[RamboBond296]

that must be at least around a $1800 set up

[SuperRcbuilder]

24GB of ram will hold more application running at the backgroung and will give the HDD more relaxation.

[LordByron08]

damn, how many cores does your computer have!?

[Nuage13]

ram = to be free

[samhuang1999]

YOUR COMPUTER IS FREAKING BEAST!!! btw, has it ever crashed?
