I remember asking this long ago and was told it should make no dif using 2 sticks of a triple channel kit on a P55 system.
I usually purchase triple channel kits so I can use these sticks on both setups. Marketing might want you to believe that they are different and there for you should buy a different kit for each setup so they sell more RAM.
I think what we see when clocking RAM on a P55 vs X58 is the fact you are using 1 more or 1 less stick of RAM. With 3 sticks timings become more critical than with 2 sticks. Remember when we used to clock on older setups that we generally went for high OC's with 2 1gb sticks on a platform vs a 24/7 rig that uses 4 2gb sticks.
Clocking memory is a fine art, so many settings that generally most do not know how they effect things.
As motherboard/CPU/Memory setups all act different spending some time with Memtest, adjusting settings and seeing the effects with our benching programs is worth while.
