Triple channel DDR3 in i5 set up

Cheers Huddy, Do you mean it will disable triple channel, and that it will only work in dual channel mode?
 
you need multiples of 2 for dual channel
2 4 6 8 10 12 etc
for triple channel its multiple of 3
3 6 9 12 etc.

you cant do dual channel with 3 sticks and you cant do triple channel with 4 sticks.
not that any mobos have that many ram slots but you get the idea
 
So if I put 2x2 of the triple channel sticks into an i5 set up it will show as 4gb dual channel?
 
yes it should do but why buy a triple channel kit if your not going to use all 3 sticks? you could have just bought a dual channel kit in the first place.

I have been given some triple channel for a build and want to keep costs down so was planning to go i5 rather than i7
