Hi guys, im new here and was hoping for some advice upgrading my PC.
I bought an overclocked PC few years ago and I just want to add some RAM to it.
But wanted some advice on what I can use and how to keep the overclock stable once I add the extra RAM.
This is my system specification:
- Case: Antec 1200 Gaming case with Nvidia Green Fans
- Power Supply: Corsair TX 750W ATX Modular SLI Compliant Power Supply
- CPU: Intel Core i7 950 3.06GHz Overclocked to 4.00GHz
- Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R Intel X58 (Socket 1366) DDR3
Motherboard
- Cooler: Prolimatech Megahalems Rev B CPU Cooler with 2000RPM Sharkoon Silent Eagle 120mm
- RAM: Corsair XMS3 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C8 (1600MHz) Low Latency Tri-Channel
- Hard Drives: Kingston Technology HyperX 3K 2.5-inch 240GB SSD
Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 1TB SATA-II 32MB Cache
- Graphics Card: 2x GeForce GTX 480 1536MB GDDR5
- Sound : 7.1 Channel Sound (On-Board)
- Optical Drive: LG DVD+/-RW SATA Drive - Black
The closest RAM I could find for this is "Corsair CMX6GX3M3A1600C9 XMS3"

Can anyone tell me if this is compatible? Also if I would be able to keep the oveclock?
Thanks!
