Anyone know of a replacement set of memory that can replace these:-

Patriot Viper 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C8 1600MHz Low Latency Triple Channel (PVT36G1600LLK)

I got these from ocuk a couple of years ago and was looking to increase my 6gb but looks like these are not available anywhere so was wondering what i could use in its place without havng to change anything overclocking wise as I am currently overclocking my i7 920 to 4ghz

I would be gratefull for any advice. ;)
 
You could try adding another 6GB but as you rightly point out that may affect the overclock.

The easiest option may be to just get a 12GB (3x4GB) kit such as this:

Kingston HyperX Genesis 12GB (3x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Triple Channel £67.99

Or alternatively buy the Today Only deal:

Kingston HyperX Genesis 16GB (4x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual/Quad Channel Kit £64.98 and use 3 sticks in triple channel (leaving you a spare) or 4 sticks in dual channel.

The Today Only price lasts until Monday morning or until the allocated stock has sold out, whichever comes first.

You may have to do a bit of tweaking in the BIOS for timings and voltage depending how it's currently set up.

Sell your existing 6GB and the upgrade shouldn't cost you too much more than just buying another 6GB.
