Title: G1 Sniper Ram Help
Post by: lunaticx on May 06, 2011, 12:13:33 pm: Hello i bought a g1 sniper yesterday and i need some help with ram.
I found on memory campatibilty pdf that this kingston kit( KHX1600C9D3T1K3/6GX) is compatible with my motherboard.
At the pdf at Tripple channel it says 6PCS , Triple channel wasn't supposed to work on 3 dims?
if i buy the 3 sticks i will have problem or my memory will work as should be?

Friendly Regards
Peter

Don't worry the three sticks will work in triple channel mode without any problems. I can't understand why it says 6 pieces unless that is pertaining to the maximum that you can install.

Have you checked on Corsair's website to see if they are l;isted as compatible with this motherboard because they are far more all encompassing than the Gigabyte site's QVL .
