PC3 16000 - Trident 2000 RAM / GA-X58A-UD3R Questions

[TheCupid]

Hey G.Skill Forums,

I am the VERY proud new owner of 4 sticks (2 dual channel sets) of Trident 2000 RAM. Unfortunately I was kind of stupid and bought it nearly blind for my GA-X58a-UD3R board and later realized that it is not the optimal chipset for my RAM.

I have been doing a ton of research over the last couple of days and wanted to make sure that the sets of DDR3 2000 (PC3 16000) Model F3-16000CL9D-4GBTD will run smoothly on my board.

I also would like to ask for a recommendation for my timing settings, please. RAM cooling should not be an issue.

EDIT: I also meant to ask if these dual channel sticks would perform properly, or would it be beneficial to get 2 more to fill the triple channels?

Model of the motherboard:Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R
Model of the memory: Trident DDR3 2000 (PC3 16000)
Model of the CPU: Intel i7 930 Bloomfield

The memory specs are on the memory and memory packaging, so those are what you should use. What you can also do is enable the XMP Profile, that will automatically set everything for you. You will then need to adjust the QPI/VTT Voltage for stability.

You can use 4 sticks, one will just run in single channel.

Thank you
