Hi Everyone, so I received a replacement motherboard from Gigabyte after 2 RMA issues. (I'm not bashing them, I was fine with the process, this is just the situation). Anyways, with this new board, after some serious troubleshooting (many thanks to the peeps at Guru3d and OCZ) RAM sticks in slots 1 & 3 either cause my system to reboot or it fails any MEMTEST or RAM stress test.
My Bios setup: Ram Voltage 2.10. I have my timings set to 5-5-5-18.
Under advanced timing control I have the following:
RRD = 4
WTR = 4
WR = 4
RFC = 60
RTP = 4
Command Rate = 2T
Here is my setup:
My question is, is it the board again? Since slots 2 and 4 work and individually the sticks work in 1. Something about the combo in slots 1 and 3 cause the failure. I'm guessing I got a refurb, but really don't want to be without a motherboard for another few weeks. Eventually I am going to have to use slots 1 & 3 when I upgrade to 64 Bit and 8 GB.
Thanks all.
