Still can't get this to work.  Tried 1.4v QPI overnight and no joy.

Now I'm worried!  Is Memtest lying to me????  I passed 5 IntelBurnTest2.0 with this memory on these settings.

I couldn't run the Kingston HyperX DDR3 2000 CL8 and now I can't run this.

I hope these are false errors in memtest.  Otherwise, what the hell good is this 965 if I can't run the memory I want?

I'm ready to trade this slug in for a D0 920.

Yeah, memtest 2.11;

I'll try 6,6,6,18 but if that doesn't work I'm returning the sticks.   I've been drooling over these redlines for a while now, I hope they work out.

Haven't run the full hour of OCCT yet because I wasn't getting past memtest.  I usually memtest first and if it passes then I go onto the windows based stress tests like BurnTest and OCCT.  If it's OCCT 1hr stable and 10 or so passes of BurnTest, should I just not worry about memtest failing after 3 hours?

Also, I think the kingstons were garbage because most of the reviews since I got mine have been negative.  Those went back to Newegg no questions asked (love those guys).

Thanks Nick,

Jim

Thanks for the advice Nick, I'll do that.

I'll also try HyperPI.

Cheers!

I think you are fine too and I would let them know

When you are at the top of the food chain with hardware one thing you must deal with others do not and that is software that may not be 100% working with the newer product. Sometimes you must make an asssessment on your own past what a test says

Never assume..

Although if you had seen errors in other test they would have backed up the MT result which would have validated it. With all other tests clean I think you are seeing a MT error itself


The last test is FSX itself.. its probably the best Windows based memory stress test on the market. If you dont get lockups in FSX I'm sure its fine

I think there is a good possibility something is wrong with the board

The 'only sees 4GB' issue WAS in fact a P6T memory slot design problem. And it has been noted several different places.

and he is using Corsair... BSOD

So far I know 5 people running the Mushie Reds on P6Ts (not the 6-6-5 timing product, the 6-6-6) including myself and I dont have any problem with it

but I am not on a P6T either

I guess I'll try to RMA the board and see what happens.

Trouble is for me this put's me in the hanger for God knows how long and I don't think I can handle that.  I may have to go buy another board just to get me by.  Test that and see what happens.

I know if and when this all gets fixed I'll be right as rain but right now I'm feeling like (and you have to be a BSG fan) Admiral Adama after Starbuck died when he raged and busted up his model ship.  Haven't busted up anything but I sure want to!

You wouldn't happen to be on the Classified, would you?

No Nick, the NEW BSG  .  I thought since you were into the likes of Star Trek you watched that too.  Circa 2004 on the scifi channel, completely different!  Ohhh one of the best series ever made.

I never went back and and looked at cpuz after I got the 4Gb, I just put the dominators back in, clocked it back up and everything runs fine.  I'm going to memtest the Corsairs overnight just to be sure but these sticks have worked perfectly since I got them almost 6 months ago.

By the way, I tested the memory last night unclocked, 3.2GHz and XMP profiles only.  When I woke up it was just dumping errors by the millions.  Before when I memtested it would run and when the errors showed up, even by the millions, they would stop being generated depending on which test it was on.  This time they just gushed forth and it got stuck on that test.

Like something was working better before a couple days ago and after testing for a while it just started barfing.  I know memtest can't hurt anything, it only brings out weaknesses.
