MSI Z77A-GD80 & F3-1600C9D-16GXM RipJaws X Issues

[RamJam]

Just a suggestion, but if you plan to use a big oversize cooler, it's a good idea to make sure everything works well first and just use the stock cooler. I went through two of these boards and couldn't get 8GB DIMMS to work for anything (and I tried three different sets a 2133 set, and 2 1600 sets) except 1333. The sets all worked fine with other motherboards and this motherboard was okay with 4GB DIMMS. Have had problems with a couple of their other motherboards and 8GB DIMMs also. I'm staying away until I see some progress on their UEFIs

RamJam - good suggestion

AirGreek - Might be worth trying RamJams suggestion, I can't speak directly about their mobos, as I seldom use them, (had some problems with them on the past), but have heard similar stories like yours and RamJams, many of the mobo makes are still having problems w/ 8GB sticks and their BIOSs.
