peanutz94 Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 The Vengeance series is compatible with that MB, but Corsair can only guarantee correct operation and or rated speeds if you use only one kit per MB' There is just no way to tell if any two random kit would work together or not. Corsair does not suggest or support mixing kits because more often than not it leads to system instability. Besides, why in the world would you want to run three modules in a board that was meant for either two or four? All your doing is forcing your MB to run in a hybrid mode that could actually hamper performance instead of increasing performance. You would be a lot better off just getting a matched dual channel 16gig kit if that is the capacity you are wanting. This is your best choice and that way you are guaranteed 100% compatibility. http://www.corsair.com/us/memory-by-product-family/vengeance/vengeance-16gb-dual-channel-ddr3-memory-kit-cmz16gx3m2a1600c10.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
