Hello folks.
I'd be interested to hear anyone's opinions on the chances of successfully running 2 x 8GB DIMMs (16GB total) on an "old" P55 motherboard. (I have not updated to a Z77 board.)
The board's manual specifies a max of 4 x 4GB DIMMs (16GB total), however, I believe it was published at a time when 8GB DIMMs were not the norm.
Some details:
Mobo: EVGA P55 Classified 200
CPU: Intel Core i3 530 2.93GHz [BX80616I3530]
RAM would be: 16GB (2x8) Corsair Vengeance Low Profile -- DDR3, Dual Channel, PC3-12800 (1600) -- 1.5V XMP -- CAS 9-9-9-24 -- [CML16GX3M2A1600C9]
If it is not going to work, I'll go with a 4x4GB solution.
Any opinions are much appreciated!
