Can you help me out which triple channel memory are the best one for my X58 board i7 2.66Ghz @ 4.00Ghz oc. The reason I want a new memory because of ram slots can be easy fitted when my new Noctua NH-D14 cpu cooler (to avoid block ram slots with my old memory is well too high) cos my old memory ram is Corsair Dominator 6GB as it will be a big problem with new cpu cooler had arrive next week.

Which one is best one:

Corsair XMS3 or OCZ Gold ?

I will promise to post back once I had the new triple channel rams with the new cpu cooler and see what temperature is like for i7 @ 4.00Ghz overclock with HT and turbo enabled with linpack.

Ah I see, so is it another UD5? If so I'd stick with what you know works. (Or whatever overclockers is sending out with their bundles at the moment (Because it will be good value and they have done the compatibility testing already.)

Edit: Oh and C8 is going to feel better than C9

because my OCZ ram is: OCZ DDR3 PC3-16000 Reaper Low-Voltage Triple Channel as it too high on memory ram slot to block the cpu cooler!

Here is my current ocz ram:

Using the reapers here myself bulldog, nice ram but it can take up a lot of space, liuckily i have no clearance issues with a TRUE should i ever upgrade to 12gb on my current p6t deluxe mobo. Btw, i see youve opted for the new gigabyte x58a ud7, sata 6gbps and usb 3.0, not many boards like theese out yet.
