Asus 1155 motherboard with 12gb DDR3 RAM

[GOOL]

In my system there is a corsair 12gb 1600mhz of RAM and in that 3 sticks of 4GB each , I am making use of on my Asus 1366 systemboard. If I migrate to the 1155 systemboard from Asus, can I merely utilize the same RAM or must I get a different the same 4gb chip so all 4 slots are occupied ? Will it put any sort of impact on my system , please help me and give me your useful guidance so that I can take some leaf out of it.

You cannot , since r the corsair RAM your making use of on the 1366 systemboard is triple channel, 1155 socket(sandy bridge ) make use of dual channel. A you had mentioned that you have an ASUS motherboard , you can check the hardware of the system as well , if you can check the specification of the hardware of your system and the motherboard in the official website of Asus , well if you have an 32 bit version and 64 bit motherboard then I think it will work but if have a processor of 64 bit version and 32 bit motherboard it is not going to work.

Well I will not recommend you to do it , I think you should not do this , I thing you should install two 6 GB RAM instead of installing 3 RAM sticks of 4 GB each , I will tell you what is the difference ,, since you are facing frequent RAM issues , it will be helpful and easy for you to run a memory test on your system as you will have to remove the 4 GB RAM three times in order to test the other two but in here if there are 2 sticks you can diagnose the RAM stick quite efficiently.

If you make use of three sticks it is single channel (if supported through 3) 4th indistinguishable stick will permit for dual channel. It is the motherboard/CPU memory controller not the ram that supports the memory channels. Just purchase an additional Corsair 4GB stick of the similar sort with the equal timings and you will have 16GB in dual channel mode. You will not face any sort of difficulty .
