    Just out of curiosity is there tutorial on why it would cause a issue compared to having a lower amount of memory
    You don't need a tutorial to understand this...just the basics of overclocking. When you overclock, you increase the clock speeds of all your related hardware, such as memory chips. When you have 4 sticks, your chance doubles (compared to two sticks) of having one that doesn't play nice with the higher clocked speeds.
    Yea that makes sense if you figure one out of four can be bad
    I am always learning from here so it helps me to get input

    Also i called the store i bought the ram from for the difference of what paid they told me it would be easier to contact the manufature
    see what they think

    It isn't so much that one out of four could be bad...it's just that with more chips, you have a much greater chance of having one not handle an overclock too well. Overclocking is far from an exact science. It is basically an exercise in trial and error. You push until something doesn't stay stable, and then you back off.

    Yeah I been reading all about Overclocking

    That is why i am doing it ! For the life of me i must get knowledge on the subject before just jumping in head first

    Alot of things go right passed my head if not told about it ,I know more ram doesn't always add up to be a good thing I trying to work the maximum i can on this board

    As pointed out I will get nothing short of what I have now I even overclocked this puppy to 4 ghz stable ,No point in pushing this chip any further anyway

    The new selection should be out soon and Im figuring it would handle 16 gigs off a overclock cause it being a new platform thus my query that wil be another thread on OVERCLOCKING 8 core chips and who currently uses one

    That's why I like this forum better understanding always helps instead of going blindly into the darkness
