Try this, not sure if this will work, but I gave it some thought when I was building my computer when I was using two different sets of memory of the same exact memory.
Seperate out your ram from the kits it came from. Check the serial numbers of each kit. With Corsairs, each set should have a shared serial code or some sort whcih is only unique for that one kit. I know because I'm using 2 exact same 3x2GB Dominator GT kits and they have different kit numbers but their the exact same memory. When you have all 8 sticks seperated into the 2 different kits, try installing your memory in this configuration listed in my diagram below. I'm running my memory like this: _ 1 2 _ CPU _ 2 1 _ (and I have 2 sticks are spare)
1 set of 4 sticks on all the red Sockets (this will be noted at "1" in the diagram below)
2nd set of 4 sticks on the black sockets (this will be noted at "2" in the diagram below)
It should look like this:
1 2 1 2 CPU 2 1 2 1
Make sure the EZ_PLUG is plugged in for the extra power, it's the 4pin connector.
When I was building my computer I knew I might have a memory issue if I just loaded one side of the board with a full kit andjust take 1 from the other kit. So I balanced out the 6 sticks I had and only took 2 from each kit even though they were the same memory, but since their from two different kits, I knew I should try seperating each kit to keep within it's own channels. So I did mine in a: _ 1 2 _ CPU _ 2 1 _ setup
I know this sounds silly because, if you buy 2 kits of the exact same memory they should technically all run without any issues, but the truth of the matter is, each kit is different and they were only tested to work as the kit came as.
