Captain Zero Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Has anyone been able to use the Corsair XMS3 DHX with this board or am I going to *have* to use DDR3 Dominator? $5k goes really fast: http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w223/Bucket_o_puke/IMG_2842.jpg I'm not too thrilled about having 8GB of DDR3 that I cannot use. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 What are you talking about? Corsair Modules Compatible with the Asus Rampage Extreme TW3X4G1600C9DHX are indeed listed. Curious: why that CPU instead of a Core i7? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekT Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Has anyone been able to use the Corsair XMS3 DHX with this board or am I going to *have* to use DDR3 Dominator? I have never been able to get 8GB of any 1600Mhz DRAM fully stable in this machine. I can tweak and get it to be stable in Linpack and Prime95 and memtest but a few days later, I have instability. When I drop the DRAM speed to 1333Mhz, the issues resolve. I have used XMS3 DHX and and Dominator. There is no difference except for the form factor. This board just pisses me off. Stable for a few days and then craps out. This repeats. I have decided to sell the board and CPU and have bought an i7 920. I am tired of this board entirely. If you can take the board back and purchase an i7 solution (I bought P6T Deluxe and Corsair 1600 X 3 with no issues at all). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
