Running 12GB of Corsair DDR3 Triple Channel Memory on Intel Core i7 Platforms

By Nathan Kirsch January 18, 2009

I just posted up an article about running 12GB of Corsair DDR3 memory and I think it is one of the most interesting articles we have posted up in a long time. I love trying out new things and pushing limits, so maybe I just had more fun than usual when working on this one. Be sure to check out the full review for all the details. If you don’t have time to read the review you can take a peak at this video showing the test system loaded up with 12GB of memory and running 8 instances of Prime 95! If you like reviews like this be sure to sound off in the forums and I’ll do more.

Armed with two Corsair DOMINATOR 6GB 1866MHz CL9 memory kits with the AIRFLOW fan I set out to see how easy it would be to run 12GB of memory on an Intel Core i7 desktop system. These TR3X6G1866C9DF memory kits retail for $449 each and are fastest Core i7 triple channel memory kit that Corsair has to offer. Since these kits go through the tightest screening and binning at Corsair I figured that a pair of these kits should provide not only the best chance at getting 12GB of memory running, but also the best performance should overclocking be in order
