So haven't you answered your own question?

Get the ram replaced under corsair's lifetime warranty.

but i've read that it might be some voltage problem or ht nb speeds i saw a thread talking about it but not for this ram

Anyone who tells you these things is borderline retarded, or a con-artist.

If MemTest86+ says the RAM subsystem is faulty, then the RAM subsystem is faulty.
Your memory controller, etc. are part of your RAM subsystem but since you are running ALL DEFAULTS (right?) then it must be the RAM itself.

Hmm...25 Memtest Passes??...4 full Passes is enough.

I assume the RAM is properly seated in the White (or Blue) DIMM slots. Also, AMD doesn't recognize 'XMP-1600' and instead only picks up on 'SPD; JEDEC encoded Frequency/CAS/Voltage. There are several Corsair Vengeance kits so I'll assume (DDR3-1600 9-9-9-24-2N @ 1.50v); you didn't list your model.

BIOS:
Press F7 ; Load Optimized Settings
Set Memory Clock -> 8 ; 8 * 200MHz (DDR3-1600)
DRAM Configuration / Enter
1T/2T Command Timing -> 2T ; (2T=2N=2)
CAS# latency -> 9 ; (set in accordance with your Corsair kit)
RAS to CAS R/W Delay -> 9 ; (set in accordance with your Corsair kit)
Row Precharge Time -> 9 ; (set in accordance with your Corsair kit)
Minimum RAS Active Time -> 24 ; (set in accordance with your Corsair kit)
DRAM Voltage control -> 1.55v or +0.05v ; (set in accordance with your Corsair kit)
Press F10 ; Save & Exit = 'Yes'

Rerun Memtest and if you get more than 1 error stop the test and post (here) what happens.

Good Luck!
