Hey guys, I added some new RAM to my board (already had 2x4gb sticks and added 2 more of an identical part number - although the heatsink color is slightly different).
I had to really shuffle around the order of the sticks and increase the ram voltage to 1.655V to even get the system to post with all 4 sticks (it would only post with 2 or 3 before that, depending on the order of the sticks; also, they are supposed to run at 1.65V to get the advertised speed).
I wanted to make sure these are stable, so I tested with MemTest64, and it fails within a minute. Light gaming was fine.
Could this be a RAM issue? Motherboard issue? Are there other settings I need to play with?
