    WTB: 3x 8gb DDR3

    Looking for 3x8 gig sticks to upgrade my aging X58 build. DDR31866 if possible but 1600 would work fine as well. I lost a memory slot so I went from 18 down to 12 and some games dont run well (or even at all, ashes of singularity, star citizen) anymore.

    whats the deal with triple channel?

    So I have an X58 board, and it drives me crazy that all the "deals" that are out there are only for dual channel kits. I understand I can buy sticks individually. but with deals like 16Gb's for 2 8gb sticks for $114, it drives me insane. If I buy the cheaper kit and add on a "non deal" stick...
