hi
i have a problem that i have sourced backed to the ram that i am currently using for this set up,every other component has been
checked and stressed and is working fine.I have managed to get 4.3MHz out of the CPU using a watercooler and then it bugs out
and it is more than stable at just shy under 4GHz running at a max of 48c(well under its limits).The board has been tested with a multimeter
and has also been RMA'd once(because i initially thought it was at fault) and is not a source of the problem.Its running cool at the settings that i have got it at to even try to get this
RAM stable but no matter what i try i just cannot get it to run stable.Under normal usage i get freezes and BSOD's at random and if i stress the ram you
can forget it!The PC just crashes.Running the CPU and mainboard at stock causes the same problem.I have tried so many settings now for the
RAM that im just getting board of it to be honest.Initially when i purchased 8GB of it only 2x2gb sticks would work and i had to send two back.
This set of 4x2gb at least works but it is not stable at all.All sticks have been individually tested and 4gb is relatively stable,so i am inclined to at
least accept that ASUS have a badly designed memory controller as they historically are known to throw up problems when putting in a large amount of RAM, has anyone got a setup similar to this running ok.
im not a noob,ive been building IT systems for the past 15 years and this is for personal use but i want to get the best out of the system as possible,if the
ram works to its full potential then it would be flipping fast!. Do you have any ideas tech as im getting tempted to just RMA it for good and getting a refund.
