bios is up...
Update to Intel Raid Option ROM
Printable View
I went mad and ordered two of these to play with:
http://www.scan.co.uk/products/12gb-...-9-24-xmp-150v
They were on a today only offer for £119 per 12 Gb, so thats why I ordered them. My current ram looks fugly next to my new CPU cooler, and clashes too much with the mobo:

I'll either keep both sets, or sell one if they dont do so well together.
I also installed the 1208 bios, its working fine though I'm not sure what the difference is, but I'm using Raid and it says it does something for raid :p
whats is the p/n of your 12gb ram, is it 998953?
find out if others have same problem as you, if not i'd rma.
if the problem is <9GB then i'd run stock timings @ 10-10-10-27 and see if the problem is there.
if it is still low GFlops, then i'd rma the 12GB now that you have a 6gb set which is stable.
good luck.
Yeah, it's 998953.
I've tried running all the stock timings, including running the cpu at as close to stock as possible(24x143)...
The whole thing is I feel like before I can RMA the 12GB kit, I need to get another 12GB kit to verify that it's in fact the kit and not the board or cpu... or get another cpu and verify the reverse...
The 12GB kit performs just as well as the 6GB kit for any capacity 9GB or lower(I don't know exactly where the problem occurs, 9216 is fine, 10240 is not). So the fact that the 6GB is stable doesn't really prove much... :(
I'm going to try each stick individually in each socket and see what happens... Might be able to expose a problem with one of the sticks that way... But that's for tomorrow or tuesday night.
Mounted my noctua nh-d14 on my Asus R3E a few days ago.
It was a tight fit, but it worked fine after removing 2 headspreaders on my Corsair memory.
I also moved one fan a littlebit higher up.
all water is now gone from my system. I've had GFX, Chipset and CPU cooling in the past 6 years, but now it's air again!

I have question, anyone here using RIIIE with Vertex 3?
Yeah I just love Hypers. I will enjoy for sure :)
really not needed. i gave ideas that didn't seem to pop up from what i saw so thanks for being a douche. some people have dyslexia like my self, simply saying "tried that already but didn't work" works just fine. no need to be unecessarily rude.
ON TOPIC:
curious as i HAVE gone back to check if you had tried it or not. but did you see if 9+ would stabilize with windows in diagnostics mode? again, i'm trying to trouble shoot with you because i'm having the same issue with completely different memory but with similar settings for speed and timings.
I had external watercooling (Zalman Reserator 1)
So i bet the Noctua is cooling better than the Reserator 1 did.
I just wanted back on air. Now i can move my computer around more too... was just to much work before!

And a few more here if you want...
I like to take some good pictures of my motherboards before i put them inside my case, becouse it's always dark in there, and not good space...
So when im wondering about something, i just open my flickr account and view them there.
I get where you're coming from. I also recently upgraded to water cooling and sometimes wish I was still on air. But since I made the switch already I'm learning to live with it :). So far so good *knock on wood*
BTW those pictures you and Cryptik posted were straight pr0n. It makes me so giddy inside to know I own a set as well :D
@Crpytik did you end up buying all the stock they had? lol I would do the same honestly. Will you be using all of it or are you binning them? It seemed like you had at least 8 sticks in that shot! Very nice you're going to love them :up:
Hm yes i know...
I just the noctua nt-h1 that came with the headsink.
I also use my finger inside a plastic bag to move the goop around, so when im done, some of it is still on the plastic bag.
I looked at some TomsHardware videos before, they just pooped out some thermal paste and slapped the cooler on the cpu and that was it...
I did it more like this guy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5O_I...tailpage#t=77s
Called a friend whose computer I built last year. He's got an i7 950 on a Gigabyte x58a-ud3r. I'm gonna swing by his place this weekend to test my 12gb kit on his hardware.
If it works fine, well, the kit is obviously fine and I've gotta troubleshoot the CPU/Motherboard...
I'm really hoping it's not the cpu since I no longer have a spare sitting around...
could someone add the upgrade intel sata bios version 10.1.0.1008 in 1005, have a temperature problem where the bios 1005 is the one that solves my problem!
EDIT - DMM readings incorrect, battery was dying. I apologize for the insinuation that it was intentional to get better ram clocks for review purposes. Erroneous readings removed.
Also been doing some memory testing. Put the best 3 (at CL6) sticks together out of the 9 I'm testing and using 1.61v did some stability testing. They may go further, DDR3-1732 errored after 30% or so.
DDR3-1704 MHz | 6-6-6-18 1T | 1.61v

Were these voltages measured under full multi-threaded load?
If not run Hyper Pi 32M for VTT and VDIMM - this will put a heavy load on the IMC AND the DIMMs.
Measuring VDimm at the slot you will find some drift from one side of the power plane to the other because of resistive losses, hence various VDD pins across each slot will have higher or lower voltage.
Yes, vdimm and Vtt measured under load with HyperPi 32M 12 threads, also HCI Memtest using all memory and LinX/Prime all load IMC and memory the same and give the same load vdimm. Also running ram at different speeds (DDR3-1600 vs DDR3-1866) made no difference.
What were your measurements of vdimm?
