ram slot how to?!

[sparirik]

hello im new here! 

 

im currently using an asrock h77 pro 4 motherboard [matx]

and an intel core i5 3350p cpu

 

question is can i use 3 types of corsair rams into my ramslot?? 

or i only need to use 2 of them? [4gb ea]

[Polyvalent]

are they all the same exact type of ram? if they are you can use 3 sticks.

[sparirik]

yes 3 4gb sticks identical

You can use three sticks but only two will benefit from dual-channel.

I have ran systems with different ram in the past but they have always given me stability problems. You could try it and it will run but it will be slow and possibly unstable. 

If the sticks have different speed settings try and setting them all to 1333mHz in your bios, that will help a bit. Also check the timings on the memory and try and match those as well. 

This will give you the best chance of running the system for a longer period of time if you don;t have the budget to buy new ram.

yes, i have 4 pcs of 4gb of corsair dominators only 3 of them are working the other one is dead i think. because when i put it in my ram slot my pc turns on then shutdowns automatically and then turns on again...idk whats the problem any suggestion guys on how to fix or revive this ram stick? rma is no longer an option.
