Question 1

are 4 kit memory sticks triple chanel or are they dual chanel anf just bundled for convinience? sorry if it's a dumbe question furst time builder

Accepted Answer

4 stick kits, could be (depending on the kit) either dual channel or quad channel.  if you are running x79, you want a quad channel kit such as this.  4 stick dual channel kits may also work, but they have not be specifically tested together and there is a chance you could have a problem.  Quad channel kits are guaranteed to work together.

Question 2

Does the G.Skill memory cooler (FT -3509C5-DR) work with these memory modules?

Accepted Answer

I don't know, but I have never needed one with any memory installations including this one.

Question 3

Will this work on the Sabertooth 990FX R2.0 motherboard with the AMD 8350 CPU?

Accepted Answer

No.  These sticks are meant mainly for the latest Intel boards.

According to the G.Skill memory configurator for the Sabertooth 990FX R2.0 motherboard the top speed is the 1600 MHz DDR3 sticks -- F3-1600C11S-4GNS.

Question 4

Will these work on an ASUS sabertooth x58 1366 LGA motherboard?

Accepted Answer

If you go to G.Skill's web site, they have a quick and easy to use utility that tells you whether the RAM you want, will work with your motherboard.

Question 5

This RAM claims it is compatible with Intel chips...does that mean it is NOT compatible with AMD chips?

Accepted Answer

this ram has the xmp profile meant for Intel so it works best with it right out of the box for amd chips it doesn't have the over clock profile so it will have to be manually set up to run optimally for the amd chip

Question 6

Will this work with M5A99FX PRO R2.0 motherboard?

Accepted Answer

Yes, I even installed an EATX (bairly).

Question 7

I have MSI A88M mobo.  Will these work?A10-7850 APU

Accepted Answer

You will want to refer to your motherboard list of compatible ram.

Question 8

will this work for an Asus "Asus CG5275-AR003" computer?

Accepted Answer

Don't believe so. Says max speed DDR3 1600. Also requires 1.65 volts to run 2133

Question 9

I have a Noctua NH-D14, the cooler is pretty large and covers a majority of my RAM slots.

Does anyone know if I'll have any clearance issues with this set, with this specific cooler?

I'm using an ASRock X79 Extreme6 Motherboard, bonus points if someone has used this exact setup.

Accepted Answer

While I personally have a custom watercooled system with a RIVE for my MB (Swiftech Apogee HD on 3930K@5Ghz + MIPS R4E Ni/BLK VRM and Chipset Blocks, 2x 4-DIMM Bitspower RAM Blocks; Heatkiller/Aquacomputer/EK GPU Full cover blocks depending on cards), my friend has an NH-D15 that he got for his 4790K; he wanted to see how the cooler would perform in the absence of TIM issues (a la IVB/HWL) so I threw my X79 setup onto my test bench, and only removed the CPU Block and the RAM Blocks (switching my Trident X 2666 9-11-11-29 1T for my best kit of these Ripjaws Z 2133 9-11-10-28 which have Hynix BFR IC's; these Ripjaws Z don't currently have a set of blocks on them, just waiting on the Fujipoly Extreme 17w/mK thermal pads to go between the IC's and the block adapters).

With the NH-D15, there was zero fitment issues using either 2 or 3 fans in the following configurations (L-to-R is first push fan, then middle fan, then rear fan):
Fan - Fan - Fan
Fan - Fan - No
Fan - No - Fan
No - Fan - Fan

Also tried with much better fans than the Noctua, from my always rapidly growing collection (literally boxes and boxes), including:
- 3x Sanyo Denkei 140x38mm 3300rpm 158cfm/8.9mmH2O
- 3x Thermalright TY-143 PWM High-Speed Fans
- 3x Noctua PPC "Industrial" 140mm 3000rpm Fans
- 2x Delta 120x38mm 5400rpm 190cfm/17.8mmH2O + 1x San Ace 140x38mm 4500rpm 182cfm/18.6mmH2O in Center
...and about a dozen others.

Because the Noctua allows you to position the fans with a degree of flexibility regarding vertical placement, you should have no issues. These RAM sticks aren't tall at all, significantly shorter than my Trident X kits, Ripjaws X kits, Pi series kits, Trident kits, Dominator GT or GTX kits, and pretty much every other "enthusiast" kit out there.  They're very similar in height to the sets of Mushkin Redline/Blackline with the newer (uglier) heatsink, not the better looking ones with the fins.
