Good question.

It is only dual channel, but if you have 6 sticks, apparently you can run all 6 in dual channel mode. That way you can still use a bunch of ram, just like an x58 system :)

Yep, it lets you run 12 GB with 2 GB sticks (much cheaper than 3 GB or larger sticks).

nice. I'll be getting my i5 tonight! :D

now i just need a board. I'm just busy today or else I would be collecting the board today. :D

Why does this board have 6 ddr3 slots? Iirc 1156 was only duel channel memory.

it's still dual channel.

unlike the UD3 / UD4 where you have 2 DIMM per channel, the UD6 has 3 DIMM per channel.

I did some air testing and updated the second post. Overclocking on this board is effortless, though I am limited by my RAM. I'm ordering some new sticks tonight :)

Both are really good sets... Me, i'm a G.skill lover.. But the Mushkins are, from word of mouth, a great set to come out.. Even their 1600mhz set up

damn.. these benches are really making me sell my 955 and go with another intel set... Can't wait to see how the Gskills do in this system... when just that little oc to 3.2ghz gives you a 13s 1m pI... Even on those sticks!

Very nice benches man, and love the look of the set up. :toast:
