Are all 939 boards incompatible with 3 memory slots in use?

[Com807877]

Hi all,

I've been reading about some 939 boards and they have a warning that they don't work with 3 sticks of RAM. (apparently you must use only 2 or 4 sticks)

Does anyone know if all 939 boards are like this, or just some?

Thanks!

i've never heard of it being that way before.

Well I mean for example Gigabyte says "The GA-K8NS Ultra-939 doesn't support 3 memory modules. If 3 memory modules are inserted, the system will not boot."

Glad I don't have a GA-K8NS Ultra-939. :beer:

I can't think of a technical reason why it wouldn't boot with 3 sticks, but with 3 sticks it probably wouldn't be able to do dual-channel, which is the entire point of the Skt-939.
