Hi,
New setup is on bench being tested (sig rig) and am wondering if anyone can give me some advice. (GA-Z68x-UD7, 2500k, g.skil ripjawX, 1.6V 7-8-7-24)
What happened...
The first thing I did was manually set RAM settings to stock (7-8-7-24, 1.6V) because they were showing 11-11-11-28, 1.5V) then clean install of Windows, updates, etc, all fine, first time posts, no problems, things are great.
Later I had a bsod while getting programs reinstalled, etc which was weird so I went into BIOS and made sure RAM timings were ok. I turned on XMP and the stock settings--voltage, timings were detected. Never had a bsod after that.
Much later I began testing the entire board and eventually started in on MemTest 86+ V 4.2 with dimms 1, 3 populated.
failed in seconds on test 2 (if you want to know the error code etc I will post but for now want to keep it short)
I have run memtest 16 times now on various combinations of RAM/dimms. On all of my single stick runs I have had no errors after one complete pass (for now).
When I got to stick B (yes I was keeping track) in dimm 4 I noticed that the timings that were showing in MemTest were 6-6-6-20 (how fitting). I hadn't noticed this before and was "certain" that in the previous tests I saw stock timings of 7-8-7-24. I tried stick B in dimm 3, same thing, No test failure but showing non stock timings again 6-6-6-20.
I won't bore you with the whirlwind of testing after that but essentially, when dimms 3 or 4 are populated with a single stick, no matter which one, memtest runs fine but shows 6-6-6-20. When running in dual channel in either 1,3 or 2,4 timings show up as spec'd (7-8-7-24) but fails test #2 in seconds.
I've also run P95 for about 1 hour while I was out with no failures.
I presume something is up with dimms 3,4 not the RAM and should return this board for a new one. Yes or No? Or are there some other tests I should run on the RAM?
