Can I use all 6 slots of dimm slots in my e758 without problems? Saturday, June 23, 2012 3:33 PM (permalink)

I'm trying to use more ram, preferably 24 gigs of ram. Would I face any problems using all my dimm slots or have it hinder my performance in anyway? I heard it puts more strain on my cpu if I used all 6 slots. It's hard to find 3 x 8 ram sticks at 1600.

Does anyone know any good 3 x 8 at 1600 out there? I'm having no luck in finding any

CPU Cooler: Corsair H50
Case: Thermaltake Xaser VI
CPU: i7 930 @ 3.8ghz

SSD: 180gb Corsair Force Series GT
HDD: 1TB WD 7200 3gb/s

No it will not hamper your performance in any way. It puts more strain on the IMC and all that means is it needs a little more voltage. Nothing to be concerned about. However, be warned it can hamper overclocking. Had a CPU where I could not get more than 3.77GHz Stable with all slots filled with 12GB of RAM. If you are not overclocking then I would not be concerned about it.
This RAM here is good from a good company.

Alternatively if you want three sticks to put less strain on the memory controller and you're happy with PC3 12800 then just buy three sticks of these:
