I am currently trying to use two F3-12800CL7D-4GBXM kits on an ASUS P8P67 pro motherboard with 1502 bios (latest).
I am aware that using only one 4x2gb kit would of been ideal for this application but unfortunatley non were available at my local shop at the time of purchase.
Problem 1: System will not boot up with 4 dimms installed at 7-8-7-24 1600mhz, I have to set timings to 9-9-9-28 (spd) for succesfull boot. Unfortunately I get constant blue screens even with the relaxed timings and more voltage (tried up to 1.6v, kit rated for 1.5v).
Problem 2: When using only one kit at rated timings and voltage the system is also unstable, I have resorted to running 1333mhz and relaxed timings (9-9-9-28), and while things are definitely better, I still get the random bsod.
I ran memtest+ on all 4 dimms at rated timings and get no errors, so I doubt RAM is faulty.
I purchased this ram because my motherboard is listed as compatible in the product page, even though it is not listed in the ASUS QVL. I purchase Gskill memory exclusively because I have had very good with your brand in the past.
Short of waiting for a Bios update from ASUS, is their anything I could to make things a little more stable while using all 4 dimms? I have only changed memory voltage manually, everything else is set at "AUTO". I read somewhere I should raise VCCIO, but I don?t want to do anything that could risk damaging my 2600k.
