I've been using 3x2GB RAM in my PC, but one unit died recently, but instead of replacing it I decided to upgrade to 3x4GB RAM. (1066 MHz)
Problem is, that I can't find any triple channel RAMs in my country's stock market for this motherboard (msi Big Bang XPower), only dual channel ones.
My question is this: Can I use dual channel RAMs on a triple channel motherboard?
Or should I order compatible RAMs from China and wait for like a month for the shipment?
The motherboard has 6 slots.

I'm not sure about mobos in youre are but I've had double channels that fit in one. If it docks right it docks right. I know that some mobos dont exactly like that kind of stuff but it should work.
I suggest you do some research on the exact stick youre using, and what mobo youre using

Hobo Joe , The model is XMS 3 from Corsair. Made in Taiman. XMS3 is a DDR3 DIMM so every RAM module which is DDR3 DIMM will go with your mobo. It will be quite hard to get DDR3 new these days, DDR4 is already here for some time and we are nearRAM the times DDR5 will be used as system RAM |

Hmm what's your budget, I can help you with makeing quite decent build (best deal for the money)for any price tag😉 I already had one available. 16GB RAM, intelcore i5 CPU (water-cooled), same GPU (Nvidia GTX 690 it is I think). Though the CPU is a bit worse (I had intelcore i7), the RAM's capacity is 250% larger than the previous one, so I think it is worth it. |

I think you mean i5&i7, well that tells me that you have one of the 8 generations out there lol, well 690 is still solid card and you won't need a new GPU for some time if you don't want more than 60fps/1080p on all new titles, 16GB RAM, but let me ask what do you want to use it for? 12would had been more than enough for you, on productivity 16GB currently is good enough for me, but I'll upgrade to 32 in future... |

The Light Bringer, I mostly use this PC for gaming. I already tested this in cod mw (remastered) and has a solid performance on "High". I will see how it plays BF1 and cod ww2 tomorrow.

Oh, I forgot to add that it is always to leave some room in such circumstances.
