My first original post : https://www.gskill.us/forum/showthre...=14247&page=21
And Now :
Hey guys, remember me ? Yeah, the unfortunate dude who had his ram just go berserk a while ago. I sent these sticks back to the RMA center for exchange and got some after 24 excruciating days (shortage of product). While I was waiting, I bought some new sticks... I mean, did you really think I would wait ? Come on... (I was faithful so I got myself some G.SKILL ram again, the exact same specs to, and everything worked fine with the 1.00.22 beta soft) And it was perfect.
Today, I plug back my new ram, so I have 48 GB of ram now, go figure what I'll do with that BUT - Beware friends... because the events that will follow still fill me with dread and horror...
With more than 2 sticks at once (I say that because, until now everything worked like heaven), the G.SKILL RGB soft went nuts again and crashed 4 of my 6 sticks, on the spot. I guess you can pretty much imagine the reverse smile that was tearing my face apart... And you can almost taste my tears...
But you now what ? I'm a man, so I cried like a man and then I searched the internet with hope, like a man.
And I think I found a definitive fix, where I never should have.
I downloaded ASUS aura (you know, the soft from which G.SKILL inspired its own) and guess what, even though I have 0 ASUS hardware on my computer, the software launched and the ram sticks INSTANTLY worked and synced, without bug.
I mean... Holly molly WTF right ?
So, let's check if it was just dumb luck or if we can finally put this whole story behind us !
Uninstall everything G.SKILL has provided you with (and every ASUS related programs that come with the software installation, generally found in program files x86 as AsLed etc...), reboot your computer, install the ASUS soft and try to start it. It might fail at first, you might need to reboot everything to force its hand (I didn't have to, it went on automatically without reboot).
Use this link :
https://www.asus.com/uk/Motherboards...Desk_Download/
-select your OS
-select the utilities category
-download the second version : Aura Version 1.04.42
And for the love of god, please, tell me if it worked for you has well !

(Oh and because we're not holding grudges, wait for the release of the final G.SKILL version of the software, not a beta one, so they don't feel that bad about it...)

24h Update : I turned off my computer for the night and this morning (9:39 AM French dude, again), the ram sticks were non responsive. If it does the same thing for you, don't panic : uninstalling Aura and reinstalling it without rebooting the PC works and the lightening comes back to life.
So it might be a pain but if you want to use this soft, you might have to re-install it anytime you restart your computer and more than once.
Sometimes even after re-installing it doesn't entirely work, but after some effort it still is the best solution to date by comparison... Maybe.
PS : in the case all the sticks weren't responsive with the soft, I found out that this original G.SKILL solution helps quite a lot - with some modifications.
1. Open the software, and click on “DEFAULT”. Wait a minute or two for the process to complete.
2. Shut down the computer.
3. Disconnect the power cord, and wait for 3 minutes. (This is important ?)
4. Reconnect the power cord and turn on the system.
5. Once you launched the software again, hit the refresh button (located at the side of the exit cross in top right corner)
6. You might have to rinse and repeat.
But at least, "60% of the time, it works every time", right ?
