Hello ,
I recently purchased my second set of F3-12800CL9D-4GBRL "Ripjaws Series" and the SPD is either programmed wrong or the memory itself is wrong . Below is pictures of CPUz reportings of the SPD and the motherboards BIOS is reading the same as CPUZ .
The first set is running in a MSI 770-G45 with a AMD 720 X3 "Black Edition" at rated speeds and timings 9-9-9-24-2t @1.5v , and also runs well in my MSI 790GX-G65 ,so I purchased this second set for the G65 board , only to get a mismatched or wrongly programmed set .
I never get a total lockup with this mismatched set , but get random pauses and mouse freezes for a second or two and then everything goes back to normal. But I'm really afraid that this is gonna corrupt my RAID ARRAY
I am hoping to get this issue resolved here before I post my review on NEWEGG , and cast a poor light on G.Skill's QC , I've never had any problems with multiple sets of G.Skill RAM I've purchased from Newegg for Notebooks to Desktops DDR-DDR3.
