Funny world Jack. I use GSkill in all my DDR 3 machines except 1 which has 16GB Corsair and Laptops, Netbook and Dell T3400 Workstation have DDR2 various brands. I have had to send a couple of sticks back a few years ago but they were replaced promptly.I have 32 Gb running flawlessly @2400 Mhz. Is your voltage for 4 sticks of ram @ 1.65v?
The Grandpa computer is running kingston 2000 ram; now set at 1600 and it works well now.
I don't even know where to set the Northbridge on a Intel cpu/Asus motherboard so I know I would of left it at Auto. The Kingston ram spec is 1.65v and that is where I run it.
I have a idea that might of caused the problem.
Because the ambient temp are high around here I took the vcore off of a constant 1.30v and let it work as needed by the load. The i7-960cpu has the memory controller built in. Specs for the cpu is DDR-3 800/1066. I'm thinking the cpu needed the extra volts to manage the 2000 at around 1800.
This is just a idea of mine. I can't prove it.
Old Acer stayed at 6.0 but still improved quite a bit graphic's wise funny how a GTX 980 hybrid will do that and Primary hard disk slightly can't remember what it was before though :/
