Cooling the modules in sequence would be the most practical; least amount of adapters and pressure drop.
Mandelore, your inability to run 4 x 1 GB of RAM at 1150 MHz may be due to a motherboard limitation. It's really hard to push the speeds towards 1200 with 4GB on both the X38 and 780i-based boards.
I'm not sure if have 2 x 2 would help, but it might because you're using less channels. Anyone have a definitive answer? I'd like to know as I'm reluctant to take the DDR3 plunge and wouldn't want to buy expensive DDR2 that I won't be able to fully benefit from.
nope, i did so with another 4x1gb kit, there was a problem with the ram i believe, or at least some sort of incompatability specific to these modules
