I'm at a library because I don't have internet so if these questions seem dumb, just remember that I don't have a lot of time to google everything, so simple answers are going to save me big. These questions may seem like 'duh' to you, and they may actually be 'duh', but I'm trying to organize myself based off of this list of questions, so tell me what you know. You're probably going to say "wth question is this" but that's ok becuase i'm %100 bred newb on all of this new technology. As far as my questions go, I have built them up over time from what other users have said. So in other words, to me for all I know, they could just be rumors or lies, so just clarify the answer for me.
1: I hear a lot of people getting dead sticks on arrival, or some other serious problem. I thought corsair was about quality and durability. So my first question is, what is the return rate of these sticks or the rate of issues people have with these particular sticks?
2: What is a DFI X58 Motherboard? Because I heard these aren't compatibal with those mobos.
3: I heard these 12GB of these sticks will crash your PC in vista x64 if not ran at 1066. Is that true? Will I have tons of problems OC this ram?
4: What are examples of high OC's using 6GB of these sticks? I'm getting 6GB because I'll be OC them as high as I can, so I had the impression that 12 GIGS dont OC as good as 6 GIGS. Is that true?
5: WIth my mobo and system speed, are these sticks capable of running at advertised speeds? (see my mobo above).
6: A problem I've heard. Will this RAM give me trouble in OC my i7 to 4.5GHZ or more? I heard this RAM sucks when it comes to OC an i7 920.
