This is semi-crossposted from the Gigabyte forum, however I will give a quick rundown.
I have the following...
Gigabyte GA-870A-UD3 Mainboard Rev 2.1, F4 bios
AMD Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition
G.Skill Ripjaws F3-12800CL9D-8GBRL (2x4GB 1600mhz DDR3) running at 1333mhz 9-9-9-25-34 Unganged mode
The problem I have been getting is random BSOD and after an overnight test (after previous attempts of no errors) I got the ram to show an error after about 10 hours. I will test each stick individually to see if one or the other is the culprit. In addition I used WinDbg to track down the BSOD minidumps and often it would be random processes (like java.exe or something that should not be at fault) showing memory corruption errors or pagefaults or "single bit corruption" faults.
My question is, as someone else suggested it was mentioned from G.Skill... Do I have to increase the memory voltage slightly above 1.5V in order to get stable operation? Should I even have to do this if it is intended to run at 1.5V normally? I do not require 1600mhz operation and would be perfectly happy with 1333mhz.
Would it be better to just RMA the memory at this point if I can pinpoint a particular module is faulty?
