Just about completed a new personal build and I'm looking at three Triple Channel Ripjaws Kits for 12GB at a max speed of DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) for memory.
My concern is that I've been burnt by memory/MB/CPU problems in my previous three major builds. I've already looked over the PC forums without any clear memory advise. There's so much misinformation like from overclock.net's Asus P6X58D Premium & E Thread "Some users can run 1600Mhz successfully with some voltage tweaking but 1333Mhz is the max supported speed using 12 gigs." WEB research lead me to suspect that the best way to go for performance and less problems is to populate a single sticks in each of the dual channels on the x58 motherboard.
G.SKILL's Qualified Motherboards List for the Ripjaws Series Triple Channel 12 GB Kits usually show the older Asus P6X58D Premium and not its newer sibling PX58D-E.
PC build Config............................................ .......
Mobo:Asus PX58D-E
CPU: Intel i7-950 Bloomfield
RAM: ???
Cooler: Corsair Hydro H70
Case: CoolerMaster HAF 932 case
PS: COOLER MASTER Silent Pro Gold Series 800W
GPU: ZOTAC ZT-98GEY3G-FSL GeForce 9800 GT 1GB (I'm not a gamer)
HDD: many
Given the Asus PX58D-E MB
Question 1 - Will G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 12GB (3 x 4GB) Triple Channel Kits work at DDR3-1600 (PC3 12800) speed?
Question 2 - Newegg shows these 3 kits, which should perform at specs (with minor tweaking ?) .:. G.Skill guarantees 3 Dimms triple channel operation would reach announced specification
F3-12800CL8T-12GBRM with timing: 8-8-8-24
F3-12800CL9T-12GBRL with timing: 9-9-9-24
F3-12800CL7T-12GBTDD with timing: 7-8-7-24 Trident+ Turbulence II 12GB
Thanks - comments? suggestions?
