Chuck24 Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Hi all, i own 3 modules of TR3X6G2000C7GT Dominator GT 2000Mhz and was wondering if anyone absolutley knew if they would operate in an EVGA 790i Ultra motherboard. I dont need them to run 2000Mhz or even 1800Mhz, i just need to know if they will work period. I had these laying around :laughing: and thought id throw together a cheaper build just for sake of doing so. Any help is great and thank you in advance.

Wired Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Yeah, just use 2/3 sticks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wired Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 It can but it's a dual channel system, so it may only run 3 sticks in single channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive been reading that the EVGA 790i Ultra isnt compatible with triple channel memory which i beleive what i described above is. Are you positive this will work on this board? I dont doubt you im just having conflicting answers. Thanks again. :sigh!: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 There is no such thing as Dual / Triple Channel memory, as this is a property of the memory controller in how it handles memory. This is why you can place memory in different slot configurations on a motherboard and it will register as single or dual or triple channel. In otherwords, the only difference between a 3 stick kit and a 2 stick kit is the number of sticks and the platform in which they were tested. Like I said, run 2 sticks. If you want to try 3 sticks, that's up to you. It'll do it, but your performance will likely drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ill need the fourth stick i guess if i want it to stay dual channel correct? Thanks again, i wont bug you anymore for now. :p: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Then you're mixing untested memory, and maxing out the slots which places a lot of stress on your memory controller. Ultimately what is your goal with this system? How much memory do you want and at what speed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
