So far so good

I installed the G Skill memory tonight (F3-10600CL9D-8GBNT) and so far mine runs a bit quicker than the stock 6GB of OEM Gateway memory. I have not experienced the issues of sluggishness, or slow page loading that Wildman95gst had. I did install mine a bit different and I am not sure if that matters or not. From what I can tell the Gateway board may be made by Intel. Intel recommends that the first 2 sticks be installed in the blue slots which is what I did. I have not run Memtest 86 yet, but everything seems very quick and the command rate is now down to 1T with just the 2 sticks installed.

That's great, i discovered that my problem's were not associated with the ram, i had updated my Intel HD drivers thru windows and 3D Guru, i even went back to the drivers on my Gateway disc and on their site. I guess my computer did not like any of them, lastly i went to Intel's site and installed the latest driver they had, no more problems.

IT'S ABOUT TIME! Just kidding, glad you got it straightened out, got a word from GSkill, still in catchup mode, and I know how that goes, had 4 computers in here last night I was working on, they're gone, and have three more tonight (and more scheduled tomorrow) + need to make an order tonight, I am basically out of DDR and DDR2 I keep for upgrading older boxes and about out of DDR3.

Hi Tman, can you tell me if these sticks F3-10666CL7D-8GBXH are set to default JEDEC 9-9-9-24 and have to manually set at 7-7-7-21 in the bios .

[Tradesman]

Prob have to set manually, not sure if your mobo has XMP where it can be enabled/disabled - if XMP available can try that

[Wildman95gst]

No, bios has no options to set the memory

[Tradesman]

Didn't think so....I'll try and see if I can come up w/ something

Tman can you look into this, i removed the two sticks from the black slots and get the same timing. Gateway had the 2g sticks in the black slots and 1gb sticks in the blue and CPU-Z reads the black as #1&2 and blue as 3&4

[Tradesman]

Can give it a try

[Wildman95gst]

I was concerned about putting the sticks in the wrong slots !

[Tradesman]

Should be able to put them vice-versa, might even be able to mix the sets, can always go back to the original set up you have/had

[Wildman95gst]

Thanks, that's what i am going to do, just stick both sets of F3-10600CL9D-8GBNT that i have and live with it, before i screw something up removing and installing these sticks

Just make sure the notch lines up with the DIMM

Please let me know if this is getting away from G.Skill's policy regarding their web board post's. This problem i have is really bothering me , my wife is away and i am getting a lot of time on this computer. I installed Core Temp 1.0 thinking maybe my CPU's were clocking back due to overheating, i have run into something that really puzzles me. It record's my (core frequency) at 3092.85 (99.77x30.0), (VID) at 1.259v and (core temp) at 27C. CPU-Z has the (core frequency) at 1.596 (99.8x16.0) and after a while it changes for a second to the same frequency that Core Temp 1.0 shows, (ore voltage) 0.768 - 0.912
