The motherboard supports the clock speed of the RAM you are using which is good, and should mean no direct compatibility issues.

Have you changed any timings or voltages?

Have you tried leaving two sticks of RAM in, and then testing a different slot(s)?

Timings and voltages are default at the moment. Having a question about SPD speed though. Should I be runinng them at 1333 Mhz or 1600 Mhz? they say 1600Mhz but non-xmp profile is 1333mhz or something.. a bit unclear.. I'm gonna put back the soundcard and gpu and keep adjusting memories for now, please advise?

About the slots, I tried switching around, I'm a bit unclear on whether it has to do with a slot or a memory stick.. :S

If you tested a memory stick in one slot and passed but failed in another slot it could be the slot on the motherboard . If it was the memory it would fail in the other slots .

The RAM will (if I'm correct) should be running at the SPD speed of 1333MHz.

Here's the Memory Support List:

• Z68 Extreme3 Gen3

Found this at the top of the page:

Note6: It is recommended to install a memory module in DDR3_A2 or DDR3_B2 slot first!

Yes, I put back all the other devices in the computer as well as another stick of ram, crashed during the night. I'm beginning to lean towards slot errors, since all sticks came back fine from extended memtest 86+ tests... Have also read the manual, BlueRobot and making sure A2 and B2 slots are used.

VistaKing, I didn't explicitly test every memory in every slot.. However, I hope tonight when I come home results show that the slot is broken

Thanks for informing us, post back your results.

Used another set of RAMS in the A2 and B2 slots, so far its stable. Will keep it on during the night as well.

That's good to know, it seems it may more of a DIMM slot issue so far, rather than a direct RAM issue.

 

[catch22]

So far, using 8GB of memory works like a charm. Will try soon to put the other 8GB back..

Let's hope it works fine
