F3-10600CL9D-8GBNT (+) F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL Not compatible?

*I had Patriot Sector 5 2000mhz p55 ram prior(bsod's w/ gskill ram). This ram states both on gskill and newegg.com that it is compatible with AMD Athlon II/AM3 systems. Also this is Gskill ram paired w/ Gskill ram. I am getting BSOD's often still.

Your mixing two totally different sets of DRAM the first set are 1333 CL9 the second is 1600 CL9, which aren't, either set of DRAM, by itself should work fine with the mobo (as long as you have a CPU that can run it. Mixing sets like you have just generally isn't going to work.

Please explain how running this RAM with the same JDEC specs running at A Freq. of 1333 is not going to work.

AMD Phenom II X6 1055T Thuban 2.8GHz -No OC. & mboard supports up to 2000mhz. (Speed should not matter when under-clocking, these sticks are both gskill and advertised to be compatible with my system. Id expect them to work!)

The problem is the chips, they are different, so the slight difference can cause incompatibility between the kits. Sometimes the same exact model memory kits may have issues, so certainly completely different kits are more prone to this issue.

They may work, but it should not be expected. If they do not, contact the RMA dept and you can work something out with them to get a set that can work together.

Thank you

TY.

That's what I was hoping to hear. I never had problems on my old intel setup. "faster ocz ram mixed w/ gskill"

Intel is much nicer to have in working with DRAM, AMD has weak MCs (memory controllers)
