I have 4x8gb and 3x4gb, all of which is 1600mhz ddr3. Can I mix 4x8gb and 2x4gb on an X58 in triple channel? I'm guessing my best bet is:
3x8gb
3x4gb
total of 36gb of ram
Or could I use:
4x8gb
2x4gb
total of 40gb of ram
any suggestions? I've done some googling but haven't found much, conflicting reports that if I populate all 6 dimm's it will stay at triple channel even if different memory sizes, and some saying that it won't, but will in fact operate in dual channel etc...
Any advice is appreciated!
