Using all 4 DIMMs and the i7-860

[adam35413]

Simple question: Does anyone have experience using all 4 DIMMs with i7-860? I am looking at 4x2GB of GSKILL DDR3 1600 memory, but I don't want to BSOD if the memory controller on the chip can't handle it.

I don't think they'd put 4 DIMM slots on the motherboard if the northbridge or socket 1156 CPU's couldn't handle it.

you cant OC as much with 4 chips and you might need to bump settings to slightly looser(higher latency)


some others might work fine with no changes.

it depends on the motherboard and the memory

2 days since I first built the system and it is running rock solid with Windows 7 64-bit and 8GB of memory. Amazing system so far!
