I'd check your BIOS settings as some boards allow different behaviors for different fan headers.

I ran memtest86+ from a pendrive and on test 5 i got 1377 errors, but i dont know if i should see this as a faulty ram stick or not as i've read sticks in slot 1 &3 or 2&4 often pop up with errors on test 5 for some reason and when tested individually or not in a channel config they work fine/ test without errors?

Anybody else having issues with youtube or is it just me? i've set my GPU back to stock clocks and my overclock has been removed everything is set to stock apart from my RAM which is at 1333mhz not the 1600mhz its rated at.

RAM = G skill F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL CL9-9-9-24 1.5v Anybody had any issues with this ram when putting them to stock clocks manually?

Ok guys, really scratching my head here,

if i set everything on my mobo to auto i have no BSOD, but if i keep everything stock but the RAM which is set to 1333 on auto to 1600 buy upping the multiplier i get BSOD and errors in memtest, as opposed to when set at 1333mhz (underclocked) i get no errors in memtest and no BSOD...

What am i doing wrong? why does my ram keep crashing my rig when set to stock clocks stated on the packaging?

It's not uncommon with the AMD Platform to require a slight boast to Dram Voltage (yes, even for stock) due to the manufactures spec which is Intel based. Usually .05 to .1v increase is enough but you'll have to make small increases and test to see exactly how much/little you can get away with. Some test with SuperPi, myself I also test with LinX.

Always best to manually enter "ALL" the Dram specs.

Hi, Thanks for the reply, one of my RAM sticks is dead it wont even post at 1333mhz so i think both sticks are for ****ed.

Sorry for the language but i'm extremely pissed off, I dont know what to do now in terms of replacing the ram, the RAM was bought as a gift from a friend for my birthday, i dont have all the packaging but what i do have is the card that came with the sticks inbtween the plastic with all the details on. Can I RMA it? it was bought for me on the 14th of May so...

I keep looking at Corsair ram these to be exact or the 1600 in white [URL=http://www.scan.co.uk/products/8gb-%282x4gb%29-corsair-ddr3-vengeance-red-lp-pc3-14900-%281866%29-non-ecc-unbuffered-cas-9-10-9-27-xmp-15v[/URL]

Just don't know what to do now, is there even any point me putting both sticks in again or just the one working one, i did put the 2nd one in on its own in DIMM4 if that effects it at all?

Hello Sandman !
I am seeing you are running IMC at very good frequency. May you please tell how much CPU-NB voltage do you have to increase for that high frequency ? Mine is stable at 3000MHz at 1.375volts. Well my current RAM is not letting me go over 300 baseClk. But with some other RAMs and with a lot of BIOS tweaking, I've seen my board can do 325. Also can you tell what memory bandwidth score are you getting in Sandra ?
Thanks and +1 in advance thumb.gif

Looks like i was wrong, if i put the bad stick in Dimm 1 instead of 4 it boots up fine, but i still cant get the sticks to pass memtest test 5 in 1600mhz, surely someone here has been through this?

What RAM and CPU are you using again? post voltage's and stuff too please.

Does the SYS FAN 1 header require a 4 pin fan connector as I have tried a number of fans and they don't spin up, they falter and need jump-starting like an old fashioned WWII Spitfire. I'm using the other headers atm but its crazy. I thought maybe my TX750 was struggling to power all the harddrives and fans (6x120, 1x140 & 1x240) but I can add a second 240mm on header SYS FAN 2 without any issues.

Any ideas?

I have two GSkill kits. One is 4 sticks of 1866 DDR3 (16 G total) which will run at 1333 when all 4 sticks are in use and at 1600 when only 2 sticks are in use. The othe kit is two stcks of 1866 DDR3 (16 GB total) which will only run at 1333.

Seems like if the modules are over 4 GB in size or if more than 2 sticks are used you can only run 1333 in auto.

This has been my experience with the FX-8150 on the UD7 board. If I use a Phenom II 970 or 980 I can run everything at 1600.

IIRC, this is an issue with the memory controller on the FX chip.
