How does P6X58D E mobo respond to 2x XMP/1600 ramsticks per channel ?
Awaiting delivery of Asus P6X58E D motherboard, i7 9300, Kingston KHX1600C9D3K3/6GX memory, Saphire 5450 1G hypermem graphics, and doing advance checks
The Asus memory qualified vendors list (QVL) indicates that I can populate all six slots using two kits of three modules, each kit being type KHX1600C9D3K3/6GX (XMP), making a total of 12 GB. However, the Asus handbook also states "Due to Intel spec definition, XMP DIMMS and DDR-1600 are supported for one DIMM per channel only" so exactly how does the motherboard respond if I follow the QVL with the above 12 GB memory using two DIMMS in each channel ? Do I have to set something in the BIOS or will it simply adapt by cranking the speed down to 1333 and ignoring the XMP ?
Thanks
Memory is cheap and life is short
