There can be certain doubts on that. For this in my advice you must try a dual channel kits over motherboard that has supports for Tri channel ram. It is also not possible to use a higher number of ram over the same board due to compatibility issues. It must be listed properly in the motherboards compatibility list or else it is not a worth investment. For such Corsair Dominator TR3X6G1600C8D is more recommended here.
