Same here, now I just need some reasonably priced GPU and I'm set for a few years again.

Who would have thought they couldn't sell products related to DRAM at outrageous prices forever! What a twist! M. Night Shamalamadingdong just creamed his pants.

Just sitting here and waiting for another announcement that increased demand makes prices rise again before 2019 starts.

My X99 can't handle anything other than 2133
Something definitely broken on your side. Maybe your CPU ? (Since the controller is in the CPU, not on the board) Running 64 GB of DDR4-3000 just fine on a Gigabyte X99 board with 6800K, all four channels active.

Eh, I'm done with DDR4. My X99 can't handle anything other than 2133. 2400 with XMP gives me CRC errors on my 5960x. I'm not sure if that's because the memory is rated at 2133 and 2400 is Profile 2, but either way....it doesn't work. It sometimes doesn't even see all 64 GBs at 2400. At 2133 XMP it sees only 60. At Auto setting in BIOS, it sees all 64 GBs. This is all with memory that's listed as fully working with 8 DIMMS at ASUS support site. I'll live with 2133. Quad channel memory doesn't really benefit from it much anyway. Bring on DDR5!
Did you adjust any voltages or just kick in XMP if I may ask? Had similar issues, the RAM not even being recognized as 32GB (4 DIMMs) until I upped voltages manually. Still running 2133 though, never got it to work flawlessly at 3200, similar to you. Seems Haswell has a pretty mediocre RAM controller.

As above, Haswell and large amounts of RAM. Your's already is Broadwell, which is a lot more capable in that regard as far as I've read.
