Hi guys, I called asus and corsair about this and they really couldnt give me an answer, so I thought for sure some of the more experienced and knowladgable folks here can make some sense out of this and hopefully share there thoughts and or suggestions how to go about this. Alright so i have the
ASUS P7P55D-E Pro LGA 1156 Intel P55 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard which states it supports dual channel..Okay so I have 2 Kits of
CORSAIR XMS3 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model CMX6GX3M3C1600C7

and i One Kit of
CORSAIR XMS3 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model CMX4GX3M2A1600C7

Each stick of memory has the same timmings, latency and voltage, so one would think why wouldnt it be okay to simply install any 4 sticks in any dimm?
So what do ya think the best way to install the 8GB of ram and get best performance out of them.
Im thinking maybe what if I installed 2 sticks from the tripple channel Kit in one Dimm and 2 sticks of the dual channel ram in the second Dim, would that be optial for the dual channel motherboard i have or is there something in those tripple channel sticks that would not support the dual channel memory on the board?
I already installed all 3 sticks and 1 Stick and everything seemed to run fine okay? I Held down the MEMOK! button on the board and after a few seconds boothed up, however id just like to throw this issue out and see if anyone has any knowladge on the issue with tripple channel and dual channel Memory.
Thanks for any thoughts, and sorry about the long message i just wanted to add the links to each item so you can see exactly what im working with.
