yeah sounds like your sticks are dead grinch

how much voltage did you pump them with before they died.

i really dont recommend anyone using more than 2.2v with this ram unless you have a fan blowing air directly onto them. none of this "my case has good ventilation" crap cuz your case aint got nuttin, you need a fan blowing right on them, and depending on the heat of the surrounding hardware 2.2v may need a fan.

that being said

1111mhz 5-5-5-15 2.15v no amount of voltage lets me go higher, and i definately can not lower them and go tighter.


the 680i does not have any issues with the HZ ram if you cant boot up with them then your ram is wacko and you will need to look into contacting gskill for some support and possible RMA.
the gskills run fine at 1.8v default bios.
