Thonner Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Assuming 64 Bit OS. Can I get 2 sets of CORSAIR DOMINATOR-GT 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model CMG6GX3M3A1600C7 and have it work? I have not bought the memory for my system I am building. I know for a fact I want Corsair memory. However in reading the manual for the P6T6 WS Revolution it states: "Due to Intel spec definition, X.M.P. DIMMs and DDR3-1600 are supported for only one DIMM per channel only." As CORSAIR DOMINATOR-GT 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model CMG6GX3M3A1600C7 is both X.M.P. Memory AND DDR3-1600 it would seem I could only use one kit? If this is true could you let me know what memory kit I should get that will give me a total of 12GB in a 6 x 2GB solution please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 http://www.corsair.com/products/corei7/default.aspx There are 12 GB kits listed on that page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thonner Posted September 30, 2009 Author Share Posted September 30, 2009 But how does that compair with the Dominater GT or even the Dominater standard series? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted October 1, 2009 Corsair Employee Share Posted October 1, 2009 We would not suggest mixing memory on any system, if you want 12 Gig it would be best to use one of the 12 Gig sets. If you do mix two sets you may still have to run them at DDR1333 or DDR1600. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it not possible to ignore XMP and simply configure the RAM settings in the BIOS manually? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, you have 2 kits of the same part number made with different ICs, revised PCBs, etc. You are welcome to try it if you like and most of the time it works but not all. We'd love to sell you 2 kits of memory but we are also not going to hand out bad advice. In our experience, the safest course is to not mix memory. Buy tested kits.
