Hi,
I have the following setup:
Motherboard: ASUS P8Z68 V-Pro (at stock settings, no overclock)
CPU: Intel i7 2600K
Memory: F3-12800CL9Q-16GBXL running at 1600
I am on my second set of this memory. The first set had a stick go bad after a few days. I am having troubles getting the second set to pass testing at stock settings. My initial testing was with all sticks in the machine. I had to raise the DRAM voltage to 1.5575 volts to get it to pass memtest86+. It still fails HCI memtest. Should I expect things to 'just work' at stock settings, without raising the DRAM voltage? How high can I safely raise the DRAM voltage? Are there other parameters I might tweak to help things out?
I reverted the DRAM voltage back to auto and ran HCI memtest on just two of the sticks and also got a couple of errors, although pretty far into the test. I am now running tests on each stick individually to see what that shows.
It seems that the odds of me getting two bad RAM sets in a row is pretty low. At what point do I start being suspicious of other components? Sorry for the barrage of questions, but I need help figuring out what to do.
Thanks!
Jason
