Yep, it's ram I set it to run memtest 86 for a while, looked fine for a pass or two, left it running, came back on pass 7 and had 7000 errors all from test 5. This is from 1600mhz 8-8-8-24-88-1T with 1.65v. Need to get that RMA going, I'm not sure if I want another set of these sticks if they're just going to die - what's the best PSC's got out nowadays?
2500s of a lot of Manufacturers if you donīt go for GTX- I have my STT 2200C8 since 4 month- no problems;)- but I also never lost a ramstick til now
We'll see. Depends on what kit they ship me, I'm looking at Malabs' website (STalent is the memory division of MaLabs), and they have both the 2200 C8 in stock, and I guess a left over kit of Project X 2000 C7, I may see if they can send me that instead.
Yeah IIRC I've had them for 3 months now, running 1.66v. Maybe that's what killed them?
Good luck- hope you get a good replacement that serves you well- and longer;)
P.S. Donīt know- mybe- but EVGAs Boards are notorious(some of them at least) for overvolting- maybe yours does that as well- hard to say from the distance, can also be that you just ran out of luck and have a glass kit^^
Still, 1.67v? So PSC chips are more durable? Is there much bandwidth difference in having TRCD a bit higher? What are some other characteristics of PSC I should know about?
Higher TRCD, higher TRFC- and I am not sure that PSC are more durable if you feed them with 1,67V 24/7- maybe someone else can tell about that, and I think we are getting a little bit OT:rofl:
Hopefully I don't jinx it, but I think switching the DIMMs around and cleaning the contacts worked for me, suprisingly... There was nothing visible on the contacts, maybe some sort of residue? Prime Blend at 2000mhz 7-7-7-20-64-1T, Tfaw at 20 as per before with 1.66v.
Hehe only 5 minutes prime so far, but hey, it's better than before where they used to error out instantly :D
You've gotta be kidding me... The second I posted that one thread crapped out... :rofl:
Alright, I think I got it stable with a bios update and 1.67v (1.664 -1.665 Real) vDimm at 7-7-7-20-64-1T, I think the whole problem, was some bios issues. Also, I think EVGA solved the overvolting problem with the new A72 bios (I used A70 previously), so my voltage needs to be set at 1.67v. Testing more ATM.
Sounds good and is great news if the ram stands the tests- so not another victim for the graveyard:D
Alright, I'm stumped. Last night, I set my ram to 7-7-7-20-64-1T (and the rest of the subtimings that I had before), and it passed 45 passes of LinX, whereas last week it could do 100 passes no problem. However, This morning, with the same settings it has trouble passing 1 pass. I'm fairly sure it's the ram, because as you loosen the timings, I get more stability. Adding vTT/vCore doesn't help.
weird behavior here
have you set the RTLs manually?
when after reboot i'm unstable 9/10 is because i've the RTLs in auto and the mobo change it.
never ever had in my life a memory that can do a frequency stable and after a reboot goes completly unstable with the same bios settings.
No reboots, I left it doing LinX overnight, came back this morning and tried it again. Timings are the same as in my sig (click on the cpu).
the hypers...are not good for 2000mhz daily...fast degradation...Quote:

for memory stability check i would use memtest in windows, for cpu stability check i would use prime95.

hypers are for benching purpose, for DU if you ask me they are time and cash waste.
I got a really good deal on them, I get them straight from S.Talent. CPU passes Prime SmallFFT with flying colors, The ram passed 10 passes of memtest86 3.2 at 2000mhz C7 :shrug: I'm going to go fish out another set of ram to test and make sure that it is, in fact my memory and not something else, lol.
i'm talking about this memtest http://hcidesign.com/memtest/download.html
bootable memtest using X58 - never tryed with 1156 but i think that it's the same - gives me strange results.
i can pass it at a frequency that gives error in less of 5 minutes of prime95.
Yeah, that's what I've heard. Well regardless, I decided to drop it down to 1600mhz for longevity, running 6-6-6-18-52-1T at 1.55v with a minimal drop in bandwidth. I may still pick up some of the remaining higher binned Project X 2000 7-7-7-21 though, I'm curious to see what that can do at lower voltages.
Update! After having it stable at 8-8-8-20-64-1T at 2000mhz and 1.6v, I'm starting to see signs of instability, just over 20 days down the line. A 124 here and there, and Prime Blend errors with a specific rounding error (Don't see those very often, lol) after a few hours of Blend + games. I guess I need to RMA, after all... :(
Kaine what kit was that? please dont tell me it was the new revision elpida Super talent speed :S 2200 cas 8... or ill scream if mine degrade.. i dnt think i can RMa from canada to the states....Quote:

Yeah they are the 2200 C8 sticks. I ran them at 1.66v though for 3 months.
Anyone knows A-Data XPG Plus 1866+ CL8 what chips do they use?MGH-E or MNH-E?Mems are this ones:

The 1866+ A-DATA, are with MGH-E, equipped.
