I overclocked my e6600 to 3.2(8*400) with a ds3 motherboard with f10 bios, the multi is at 2.5 so my ram is at 1000 its rated speed my timings were manually set to 4-4-4-15 its default i then ran memtest for 11 hours it said 36 passes with no errors then a few days later my computer randomly crashes i then run memtest once again now it fails within a few min of it running. This ram has already been rma'd is this a motherboard failure or a ram failure? Should i return the ram for something else or should i stick with this failure ram? Can someone please help.
I would remove the overclock, adjust the voltage and test the RAM with memtest86+.
If it fails at stock speeds, with the correct voltage it is bad RAM.
The RAM could be failing because the voltage is not correct.
RMA = refund, repair or replacement under warranty.
Actually, RMA = Return Merchandise Authorization (or slight variant). My original question remains open: if "this" specific RAM module has already been returned, it would seem to be too late to decide what to do with it...
