2133mhz quad channel kit
So I bought a quad channel kit to run in a dual channel rig, it did not like it and took some trial and error to get the ram to survive 15mins of prime95 stress with my 8350 @ 4.4ghz before a worker fail (which could be my cpu oc) using the following timings.
10--12---12---34---7----41---16---8----8-----10----33----auto-350ns-350ns
tCL tRCD tRP tRAS tRTP tRC tWR tRRD tWTR tCWL tFAW tREF tRFC0 tRFC1
The stock timings were 10-12-12-31-5-42 which would work anywhere from 1 to 4 minutes without an error, every game crashed, the computer would randomly freeze, I was about to give up when I found a guide that I will post below, it helped me get the ram at least somewhat stable. If even 1 number is off by 1 (with one or 2 exceptions) it can cause the whole thing to become unstable and cause errors. I am running the ram at the default 1.6v as 1.65v results in instability.
tRAS = tCL + tRCD + tRP
tRC = tRAS + tRTP
tWR = tRTP + tCL
tFAW = tRRD + tWTR + tCWL + tRTP
If anyone else has a similar kit and had to diy timings post them and your results of p95 stability test.
