However, for best results, just match the DIMMs in the same color-coded slots. (the info is almost always in the manual, including supported memory configurations, etc.)
Thanks. That's reassuring.

Yes, vast majority of CPUs do not support triple channel. More than a year ago, I had read that i7 9xx were the only ones that supported triple channel. Has anything changed since then?
