First off, let me say that I built several machines in the past, and I have never ran into issues like I am having with this combination. On another note, I do not overclock because I just do not know enough about all the multipliers/voltages and how it all works together. So I know my limitations.
So the big issue here is stability. The MB sees my memory at 1333, so I know this is an issue that will need to be addressed manually. I followed Gskill_Tech's guide and to get me started and I still have the same issues. I look at the QVL for the MB and of course I do not see my flavor of memory called out. I also used G.Skill's memory compatibility tool and it says to use 4x4Gb dimms of 1600 DDR3 to achieve 16 Gig of memory for this MB.
I should mention that I purchased this combination of components through Newegg. I was worried about the QVL, but they insisted it should work. Based on what I have read on the forums here, it looks like it should work. I manually set my memory to 10-10-10-30 1.5v @1600-DDR3. Also using Gskill_Tech's guide, I set my CPU-NB freq to 2400MHz as well as the HT link freq to 2400Mhz. I also bumped the NB voltage to 1.2v from 1.1v.
At this point, I am at a loss. I have ran memtest for 24 hours with no errors. I actually called Asus to have them help me walk through the bios setting for my memory, but that ended up saying my MB was bad, so I have the new one installed with the same issues. I am not surprised. Lastly, I did update the bios to the latest as it's notes stated that it resolves stability issues.
In short, I am looking for some help/guidance with this. Thank you all in advance!
