Set one- Corsair 8500C5D will boot but if set @ default 1066@2.2V= BSOD's, bios hanging:fact:
Set two- Corsair 6400C3DF one stick dead on first boot:fact: What troubles me with this set is there is not a boat load of them out there and the corsair rep stands behind its quality control on it:fact:
Yes I was able to RMA both and I will loose 65.00 dollars from newegg for the restocking fee on the 8500C5D:clap: But what the hell its only 1000.00 dollars in ram.
I can tell you this my ram will not see another 680i chip set:fact: At least not the current ones:fact:
The current reference 680i boards were rushed to market for the release of the 8800GTX and GS and for no other reason, come on people it was shipped with a beta bios:nono:
Oh yes the sound problem is real and evga has another beta bios to fix it but at a cost of performance:fact:
I can not afford to keep replacing:fact: expensive ram for the sake of being a beta tester for nvidia
I turned on my rig for the first time today and it would not boot into windows, everything stock and no OC, I had to reset the ram again this time EPP to get it to boot.
