    Hi guys,

    Contemplating buying a new i7 with 16gb RAM from hardwareversand, but had a bit of trouble with them years ago in regards to how long it takes to order from them.

    Does anyone have any experiences with them lately?

    Thanks

    Emmett

    only buy in stock items and you should be okay

    with i7 youd be dealing in tri channel memory so 12gb would be the nearest suitable config

    So 16gb wouldn't work with the i7 you're saying?

    With most X58 motherboards getting more than 6GB ram or 3 slots filled really depends on the cooler you plan on using. The amounts of ram also depends on the motherboard you pick.

    Just ordered mine yesterday so I'm hoping that the answer is "just fine".

    i7 != LGA1366

    All LGA1366 CPUs use tri-channel with a theoretical maximum of 24GB (6x4GB modules). All LGA1156 CPUs use dual-channel with a theoretical max of 16GB (4x4GB modules). There is such a thing as LGA1156 i7's... ;):P

    Sorry for the hijack OP:o

    Has anyone experience of ordering from HWV as a VAT registered business?

    I emailed them 3 days ago about ordering excluding VAT and even gave them my VAT number to check but so far I have had no reply.

    When I was registering there was a field for business name but I wouldn't let me register with anything in the field.
