SmoothieX Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 I was wondering what is the difference between these two Triple channel kits: CMT6GX3M3A2000C8 and CMG6GX3M3A2000C8 CMT6GX3M3A2000C8 specs: Dominator-GT 3X2GB DDR3-2000 CL8-9-8-24 CMG6GX3M3A2000C8 specs: Dominator-GT 3X2GB DDR3-2000 CL8-8-8-24 Is the timing the only difference? Is the CMT6GX3M3A2000C8 kit not being made any more as I can't find it on Corsairs site but I can find it to buy at online retailers. The only reason im asking is there is about $190 price difference between the two. I would rather get the CMT6GX3M3A2000C8 kit to save $190 and have one timing loose. Thanks for any help.

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted June 3, 2010 Corsair Employee Share Posted June 3, 2010 The CMT part number has the connector for the Airflow Pro and the CMG is an older part number that does not support the Airflow Pro. The newer part number also has a looser trcd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember also that IC prices fluctuate very frequently which of course affects RAM pricing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katoman1932 Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Are these two sets compatible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted May 13, 2011 Corsair Employee Share Posted May 13, 2011 I am sorry but we do not support or suggest mixing sets even if they are the same part number, they are basically the same part but its not suggested to mix them.

danlambirth Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I was wondering what is the difference between these two Triple channel kits: CMT6GX3M3A2000C8 and CMT12GX3M3A2000C9 and will the latter work with my asus p6t7 ws super computer board I want to upgrade to 24gb memory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Technobeard Posted December 1, 2012 Administrators Share Posted December 1, 2012 CMT6GX3M3A2000C8 = 6 GB (3x2GB) 2000 MHz CAS 8 CMT12GX3M3A2000C9 = 12 GB (3x4GB) 2000 MHz CAS 9 The latter will work, however as Ram Guy stated above, "we do not support or suggest mixing sets even if they are the same part number". Not to mention that 6 sticks at 2000 MHz is a lot of electrical load on a memory controller and most aren't capable of being overclocked to allow 3 sticks to run at 2000 MHz let alone 6 sticks. It's always recommended to purchase one kit that meets all of your needs. When you purchase a memory kit the memory has already been tested at the factory at the rated specs.
