x58 chipsets support triple channel memory modes, so 3 memory sticks being installed is common.
I know bro. Not kit install does the problem ? 4gb 4gb 4gb same but kit of 1 ?
You are likely going to have a hard time finding a packaged triple channel DDR2 kit, but getting 3 matched single units should work just fine. It is the chipset controller that makes the triple channel work.
The clarification offered earlier was in response to another posted who suggested that 3 sticks would result in single channel use. Obviously, that is not correct in this case.
