What Memory?

Hey,

I have a Asus P6T Deluxe V2 (Socket 1366) Motherboard, And I'm just wondering if I am limited to what type of Ram I can buy for it.

Thanks

Carl

Any triple channel DDR3 should be fine. Something like this:

YOUR BASKET
1 x Corsair Vengeance 12GB (3x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Triple Channel Kit (CMZ12GX3M3A1600C9) £95.99
Total : £104.69 (includes shipping : £7.25).

So Quad channel would be out of the question then as my mobo is old?

I also couldnt go higher than DDR3 PC3-12800C9?

Something like this would be ok also?

yes that will work fine^^

you can run 1800mhz-1866mhz any higher and it tends to need a lot of imc or qpi/vtt voltage,12gb is harder to get stable when oc'ing the cpu,6gb is better,if not overclocking cpu then 12gb is fine imo

I have the same motherboard, went from OCZ 6g 1866mhz to 24G Gskill 1600, but was over kill so dropped back to 16G Gskill.. Sits around 1646Mhz with my 4.3G i7

You will probably have to OverClock the memory to get 1600Mhz out of it on that board to
be honest and your board will only support Triple Channel memory as stated on the Asus
web-site anyway

Wrong is every way m8, New bios sorted that all out over a year ago.. you have dual or triple as I have tested 6 /12/24 in triple and 4/8/16 in dual. Triple will only give you +1 on windows index.. Infact I just sold 8g kit and dropped back to 16G in dual as 24 is overkill and triple is not a huge difference if any in real term day to day use.

So you have options mate..

Whoops probably should have checked the BIOS update part of the site when I
was looking lol. My apologies.

Easy done fella, they not to great on updating the site
Anything above 1600 you will have to overclock as I had 6G 1866Mhz. dropped speed for size as no gain in faster mem above 1600
