I have a question I am sure prolly comes up often, however I gotta ask it hehe.

A few years back, when I did my original X58 Build, I purchased this memory kit because it was on a nice combo and was worth the money :)

As you can see, its been deactivated, and I have not been able to find any triple kits available for purchase anywhere. Lately, since beginning to play SWTOR, I have been coming close to 85% memory usage, which has me kinda wanting to add another set to the board. My question is, do I have to replace these and purchase a new kit since they seem to no longer be available? Would appreciate any assistance in finding a solution to this! :)

I did find these on Newegg.com

They appear to have the same Cas Latency, Timing's, Voltage, etc... would they be compatible?

I did the same thing as you are thinking about doing, and didnt have any trouble. Even if they are different timings, speed, ect the ram will usually default to the highest timing, lowest speed of whatever you put in there. But there is a chance that they wont play nice together, but like I said I've had good luck with mix-match ram in the past so go for it. I hope this helps
