I just ordered a FX-6300 black edition, dynatron g950 cooler and an ASUS M5A97 LE R2 mobo. I have these RAM sticks available to use and want to know what the most effective setup for my configuration. I may OC but I may not. I have no idea yet but id like the ability to be able to.
KINGSTON sticks:
ACR256X64D3U13C9G 2GB 1RX8 PC3-10600U-9-10-A0
ACR128X64D3U1333C9 1GB 1RX8 PC3-10600U-9-10-A0
ACR128X64D3U1333C9 1GB 1RX8 PC3-10600U-9-10-A0
ACR16D3LU1NGG/4G 4GB 2RX8 PC3L-12800U-11-11-B1
ACR256X64D3U16C11G 2GB 1RX8 PC3-12800U-11-11-A1

HYNIX
HMT351U6CFR8C-PB NO AA 4GB 2RX8-12800U-11-11-B1

NANYA
NT2GC64B8HCONF-CG 1031.TW 2GB 2RX8 PC3-10600U-9-10-B0.1333

I would assume using the 12800 sticks , but I have no idea about the timing ( I assume the numbers after the speed are the timing) and how they work together. Id like to use the 2 4gb and 2 2gb sticks for most RAM but I would be putting 1 10600 in with 3 12800's and that would slow the fsb down correct?. Also which RAM slots would I put each stick into on my new mobo? From what I have read my CPU cooler is MASSIVE so I don't know if my front RAM slot will have room to be used yet though.
Any help would be appreciated as I should have my cooler and cpu today and want to build it tonight and don't wanna have to redo it once ive buttoned things up.
 
About all you can do is start trying sticks of DRAM, it's not a good idea to mix sticks and there's a whole bunch of different ones here, best bet is to buy a package of the amount you want...you could spend hours trying to fill the mobo and get combinations to work
