RAM question GA X58 UD3R

[Jladan]

Hi hardware experts

I'm in need of some advice, It's finally upgrade time in my house, I've currently got a gen one i7 belting along at 4.2 Ghz stable on a GigabyteX58 UD3R rev 2, The CPU and MB itself are fine so I'm not feeling the need to upgrade to Haswell. What I am going to do is upgrade GPU and RAM.

GPU upgrade is decided, I'm going to drop in a Gigabyte 780 Ghz edition.

The problem is with the RAM. I want to hit at least 24 gigs and I am struggling to find out if the board will support 8 gig DIMMS. If they do I will buy the below X 3

If not I will buy the below X 6

Does anyone have an experience with either on X58 or reccomendations?

Vengeance RAM is the best value for money I have them in both my gaming pc's only downfall is that they cl9 if you want better latency you would want cl11 or cl12 but other good ram id recommend is adata xpg v2 g.skill ripjaws

Erm lower cl means better latency afaik . Anyway this doesn't really answer my question.

From research it appears the board get grumpy if u use 6 sticks of double sided DDR I've now logged a call to corsair to check compatibility

Agg sorry I never saw you were comparing both 1600Mhz I thought you were comparing 1600 with 2000Mhz so thats why I brought up the cas latency. Yea I guess only corsair or the mobo manufacturer can answer this for you.
