Need help With Ram for this board

[Sickamore]

Today bought the asus rampage 3 extreme and also bought the i7 930. I am almost in the game. I need ram to put in this beast. What is recommended.

I looked at both of this ram on tigerdirect.

I heard the dominator may affect me from installing a heatsink such as thermalright or noctua. Can some please help me. Thank you

Far as I'm concerned, Mushkin is Mushking. Love my Ridgebacks. I don't know how well they clock up exactly, but they time down extremely well.

i would just get the regular corsair XMS3, the only thing the dominators have over it is a heatsink, you can get regular XMS3 with the same timings as the dominators.

what about this one. Thank you for your response

 

[Rifter]

Mushkin used to make excellent ram but ive been hearing some bad things about them lately and they are not nearly as popular as they were ten years ago, and there has to be a reason for that.

I would go with either corsair or Gskill or even Patriot over mushkin.

Almost done here. What do you think. If you don't think its good i will go with corsair. I am going to put this in the Asus rampage 3 extreme board will it read this ram since its quad channel.

 

[Rifter]

i think you linked the wrong ram? thats a 4 stick kit, the 1366 socket is triple channel, you would be better off running either 6 sticks or 3.

 

[Sickamore]

Correct me if i am wrong with the triple channel on this board i have to run for eg 6 sticks of ram at the same gigs so that the board can read and understand it. I am new to triple channel. Just moved from AMD.

 

[Rifter]

i would go for either of these if going for 1600 with 9 timinings

or these for 1600 with tighter timings:

you want to run in multiples of 3 to get triple channel, so either 3 or 6 sticks. You could run 4 in dual channel mode but running 3 2 GB sticks triple channel would probably be faster than running 4 2 GB sticks in dual channel.
