Triple Channel DDR3 Memory Kit Reviews
Bjorn3D and CPU3D have reviewed triple channel DDR3 memory kits from A-Data, Corsair, and Kingston. If you're in the market for an Intel Core i7 system, then this should definitely interest you.
Let's see what they had to say:
- Bjorn3D: Kingston HyperX Triple Channel DDR3 2000:
"Fielding the first Triple Channel kit that runs at 2000MHz is quite a feather in Kingston's hat. Getting 2000MHz at 1.65v is a technological marvel. We already knew Kingston's HyperX line was a hot item, but with this breakthrough, great scaling, and Kingston's legendary durability, we can see this kit becoming a must have for hard core enthusiasts. The Lifetime warranty is a big plus with the Core i7 platform just making market. With a kit that runs this fast, you'll be able to enjoy them for a long time to come, secure in the knowledge that a replacement kit is just an email away."

- CPU3D: Adata XPG DDR3-1600 Tri-Channel 3Gb Kit:
"When it comes to performance, these Adata XPG Tri-Channel DDR3-1600 3Gb kits are extremely good. What's more they offer pretty good overclocking ability too. However, the price is something of a stumbling block. It's not the fault of Adata but rather it's to do with the big players within the DRAM industry. They like to charge a price premium for any that's new. The high costs will reflect on other brands too ... especially Corsair, OCZ and Crucial. "

- CPU3D: Corsair Dominator Tri-Channel DDR3-1600 6Gb Kit:
"There is no question ... Corsair's Dominator Tri-Channel DDR3-1600 6Gb kits are well worth considering, if you're after excellent performance and good overclocking ability. In addtition, the DHX cooling technology, with its grooved heatspeader and optimised fins looks great and it effectively cools the modules during heavy load and overclocking. Corsair have delivered a great memory product suitable for all Core i7 users, including the hardcore enthusiasts and overclockers. The price is something they need to work on."

All three of these kits appear quite good, but the Kingston might be overkill. You won't need more than DDR3-1600 to overclock Core i7 processors to very high levels.
