I guess I kind of get your point and at the same time I don't, unless you are talking about if the OP is getting the 3820, Im not really seeing the problem ( unless I am misunderstanding the question) with running 2133 on that particular board, maybe not the older boards. I too have been a user of 2011 as well since it was released. I have a 3930K setup and a 3970X setup. The 3970X setup I have is using the ASUS X79-Deluxe the OP is asking about.

I know this sounds like a retarded question but is it possible to use 2 packets of 32Gb at 4x8 sticks running at 2100MHz to make a 64Gb channel utilising the 8 slots on the asus X-79 deluxe board?

Yes. 

 

But it may take some doing to get the CPU to run 64GB of ram at 2133.

yes. but depending on CPU integrated memory controller (IMC) you might not be

able to achieve 8 modules at higher than 1866 SB-E and some of the IB-E can go

higher.

Do you need 64gb of ram?   And yes you can do that, it may take some finicking to get the ram to run at that frequency.

It specifically says in the X79-deluxe manual that "Hyper DIMM support is subject to the physical characteristics of the individual CPU's, load the XMP or DOCP settings in the BIOS for the hyper DIMM Support." As long as the OP gets 2100 or 2133 memory that has XMP profile, it should run at the rated speed for 64GB of memory.

yes, that is what the manual presents and have been a user of 2011 for a bit.

yes, the motherboard can handle it just fine, but the CPU is usually the first to object,

especially in an overclocking scenario.

I guess I kind of get your point and at the same time I don't, unless you are talking about if the OP is getting the 3820, Im not really seeing the problem ( unless I am misunderstanding the question) with running 2133 on that particular board, maybe not the older boards.
