Ram: F2-8500CL5D-4GBPK, installed in slots 1 & 2 (have also tried the other slots)
Motherboard: GA-MA790FX-UD5P
Processor: AMD Phenom II X4 940 Black Edition
DDR Voltage: 2.1v
NB Voltage: 1.4v
Problem: Memory errors in memtest, specifically on test 5, consistently at 50% of the way through the test
My testing results:
I have 2 of each MB and RAM combo and have the exact same problem on both (I've tried swapping ram between MB's same results). I purchased some Corsair Dominator sticks that were comparable (1066, 5-5-5-15, 2.1v, and that ram works perfectly) So I know this isn't a problem with the MB and I'm willing to bet that I don't have 2 bad sticks of GSKILL ram.
I've tried flashing to the latest firmware for this board (from F3 to F4) and that makes no difference. I've increase the voltage from 1.9v to 2.1v. At the lower voltages memtest locks up, at the higher voltages it runs fine until memory errors. Same result with the NB voltage which is bumped up to 1.4v.
I've tried all the recommended settings from the UD4P sticky thread, as well as the recommended settings from the AM2+ sticky thread. Still get memory errors.
I've also tried full auto settings and this doesn't work either. Same result, memory errors half way through test 5.
I've also tried just about every combination of timing settings, too numerous to list here. Please help. I'm sick of screwing with this. What are the recommended settings for my MB & CPU?
