Hello G.Skill forums.
These are my current system specs
MB: Gigabyte 890FXA-UD5
CPU: AMD 1090T - Noctua NH-C14
RAM: Corsair XMS3 2GB x 3 - Corsair generic 2GB (1333mhz 9-9-9-24 @ 1.52v)
GPU1: Gigabyte HD-6970
GPU2: HIS HD-6970
SC: Asus Xonar D2X
SSD: OCZ Vertex 2 60GB (OS)
HDD1: WD 1TB
HDD2: WD 600GB
PSU: SilverStone Strider 1000W
I'm having the occasional memory dump blu-screen every 3 days or so (the system runs 18hrs a day) and memtest is filling up with errors at an alarming rate whenever its run. I know that this is due to to the mish-mash of memory (3x2gb + 1x2gb).
I need this system to be 100% stable, but I also need between 8 and 16gb of memory to be 100% stable (dont ask), preferably at 1600mhz sticks but I wouldn't mind running them at 1333 if it helped stability (only if I cant get a stable OC).
I'm thinking about purchasing two of these G.Skill Ripjaws F3-12800CL9D-8GBRL kits however, I've been told by PCCG that because they are not on the gigabyte QVL list, nor is the 890FXA-UD5 on the G.Skill support list, that if they arived DOA or If two of the sticks where incompatable with each other, or if it was as simple as that the sticks just would not work with my motherboard, that PCCG would not RMA them for me as my board is not on any of the QVL lists. UNLESS, I could take the sticks to someone with a board from the G.Skill QVL list and test it on that.
My 890FXA-UD5 board is also not on G.Skills RAM Configurator list.
My reasoning behind buying two of them would just be so that if I did have a problem with one of them, I'm less likely to have the same problem with the second kit (and if there isn't a problem with either then I could use both! hopefully)
Could a G.Skill forum Administrator please tell me if these sticks would work (QVL list's aside) and if your of the opinion that they would not work at all, could you please recommend a kit from this list.
As this would be my first G.Skill purchase, I'm hoping it will be a good one. I do system builds for people every month or so (for cash on the side) and I use corsair memory. But to me the price gap between brands is starting to become unjustifiable. So if G.Skill could help me with my question then maybe you might have a new regular customer.
PS: I'd prefer to have 4gb sticks rather than 2gb sticks.
