Is the Deluxe and LE considered the same?

Apparently the ASUS P9X79 LE was not tested. You may cross-check with the lists provided in the link below or ask ASUS if they have tested with the LE any of the memory modules listed in the document linked above.

Thank you, I posted something on the ASUS forums to see if I can get some guidance from them I just want some memory that is proven compatible and I don't know if I should go with the list from ASUS or the list from Intel as I cannot seem to see any that are common in the two lists.

Thanks,

Clint

You can choose memory that has been validated for your motherboard model and that runs at 1333 MHz or 1600 MHz at 1.5 v.

I want the RAM to run at 2133 Mhz using xmp and not have compatibility issues with the processor that will limit it.

[Jose_H_Intel1]

You may choose to run the memory at 2133 MHz; however, the processor officially supports up to 1600 MHz.

Going higher than the specifications indicate is considered overclocking.
