RAM questions
Hi all,
I have 4 x 2Mb Patriot DDR3 1600MHz in the correct slots according the the manual in my P6T mobo.
I have two queries regarding RAM I hope you can help with.
1/ I have read somewhere that i7920 CPU's operate better with a "triple channel" setup with only three slots filled. Would I get better performance if I take one RAM module out and have 6MB?
2/ While reading the mobo manual I notice it is recommended that only RAM with voltages of less than 1.65 be installed or possibly risk CPU damage. On checking the compatibility chart I found that the Patriot RAM i have is rated at 2.0 volts. Could this cause problems and/or should I buy new RAM?
Thanks,
Harry
