Hello,
I have an MSI BigBang Xpower II X79 motherboard with a 3930K cpu & 1.2 BIOS.
I've had the system for about 3 months and have changed my memory 3 times (now I'm on my fourth). All the times I had XMP enabled. The system would run fine for a couple of weeks and then blue sceen with Memory_Management error. I would run memtest and find one of the sticks is faulty (can not retain data). I've been running my old memory (G.Skill 1333 9-9-9-24 1.5v) 4GBx4 with no XMP (the motherboard reads all timings correctly) for almost a month & not single error. My new memory is the 4th replacement of G.Skill ARES1600 (9-9-9-24 1.5v) 4GBx8 and I want to install it but I'm worried about the above happening again.
Kindly advise on the best practice of installing the memory to get its correct timings & speed and then not worry about them for years (like my old GSkills ).
Thank you & apologies for the long email

P.S.: My old 1333's on CPU-Z showed CR 1T, and the 1600's showed CR 2T (XMP enabled) on the same platform if that helps. And everything is stock speed.
