Running 2 kits of 3x2GB memory?

Running 2 kits of 3x2GB memory?
« on: November 06, 2011, 01:28:59 pm »
I have recently found out one stick of my ram was corrupt and can RMA to Corsair.

I need my system right now for business and can't afford down time. I can buy the same memory Kit cheap, tomorrow and still RMA the faulty ram.

I have a GA-X58A UDR3 ver 2.0.
Will 2 kits on this mother board be OK to run?

Hi

If you are lucky both kits of memory will work together but it is not a 100% certain. You almost certainly will have to manually set the timings and up the voltage to get them all running at once though.

Make sure that you RMA the whole kit to Corsair not just the faulty stick. They are a matched kit and as such must stay together.
