When I had a P45 board with a q6600, my cpu cooler took up 1 ram spot. I used 3 sticks of gskill 2gb ram. System posted with "Flex" memory enabled. Basically it used dual channel for 4gbs, then single channel when it needed to access the last 2 gb.

Does this still work on newer Intel Chipsets? My Thermalright Macho takes up a ram slot on my Asrock Z87 killer. I can buy an extra 4gb stick for pretty cheap.


would it run:
12gb single channel
8gb dual, 4gb single in Flex???

Thanks,

Jimmy

I very much so doubt it

If you want more memory, look at the Crucial VLP (very low profile) stuff, it's barely taller than the memory slot it's in. Both sticks should fit unless the thing touches the top of the memory socket.
 
I have 16GB of crucial 1.35v ballistix tactical.

they also make sport series.

both are very short.

Nice find -Dragon-. Guess flex still works on Z87 chipsets. Thanks.

Short memory sticks seem interesting too.
