It's possible, funny thing is, in my direct dealing with GSkill folks I've come to find that about 90% of the sets returned as having at least 1 'defective' stick, actually test out fine....I've run into this a number of times where a set won't run correctly on a mobo, yet runs perfectly fine on a number of other mobos, and at times another set of the same exact model of DRAM will run on the mobo the 'bad' set wouldn't run on....generally, I've always had good luck getting them to play by playing with the voltages or it might take tweaking the advanced timings (often a single one), but finding it is the pain. It's times like this, with your rig, that I would love to have it in front of me, actually seeing what it does, hesitations during the boot, the sound of the fans, etc can at times provide a bit of clue as to where the hiccup is.

Well the fans are humming, the CPU Water is a pumping, and im losing my hair slowly but surely.. It seems 1333/1600 working fine, tho the 1600 doesnt seem stable. Ran Prime got a 124 BSOD, so somewhere volts are prob a miss.. Im debating on going BACK fo F9 or F8 bios even..
That or pop a cyanide pill, i put a whole night of gaming off for this crap.

Just an update - I put my original gskill 8 GB ram back in, set XMP to 2133, and Boom back in windows no issues at full speed..
Of note also, the motherboard upon setting them did NOT power down and power cycle as it did with the Trident X Ram. Something with this board is NOT liking this ram, and again Gskill Certified it working with my board.
Go Figure.

After everything I have tested, (i even put in all 4 sticks for the hell of it LOL), I have come down to these sticks are just not compatable. Perhaps its the 2400 Mhz Chips these Trident X series is using, but the motherboard refuses to act right when even One is inserted. There not even 1 day old, so its either RMA them back to new egg, or perhaps swap them for the RipJaw series, or just live with the 8gb at 2133 and forget it.

Hopefully that will do it.
I will have the trident until monday then they will go back via RMA.
