Hi all,

As per the title I have 4 sticks of Crucial RAM. According to CPU-Z the timings are 9-9-9-24. This is evident for the two sticks in Slot 1 and 3.

However in slot 2 and 4 I seem to have different values under JEDEC#X. Please see the pictures for comparison. I presume this is an indication of timings for these slots (really not sure).

Are these correct? Are two of my sticks faulty?

The reason I ask is I have gotten a lot of BSOD's recently pertaining to ntsokrnl.exe which seems to be a memory issue.

Looks like one set is newer than the other and have different settings loaded into the SPD, what you want to check is the Memory tab it will tell you what all the sticks are actually running at, the SPD info is simply info for the BIOS to use to help configure the sticks, it's not what you are running at.

Really? I didnt know this. Thank you. Is there any way I can mitigate the problem to get them to work together? Or is the ONLY solution to buy a 4x4 kit
