Well, I just lost 2 of my 4 sticks of Patriot 8500 RAM. They were in my blue slots at the time. I don't know why they went bad. THey are rated @ 2.3V and I've never run them above 2.2V actual (2.1 + 0.1V over-volt). For the most part I've been able to run them @ 2.15V-2.18V actual.
I'm not really sure if this is a motherboard issue or just tired DIMMS. Since this is the third set I've burned through in the past year, two sets while using a 680i and now this set here, I'm looking to pick up another kit while I'm waiting for these to go through the long, slow RMA process.
For some reason I can't access the Asus QVL to see what is recommended for this board I would like some opinions on my RAM selection:
Mushkin DDR2-1150MHz (PC9200)

I don't want Corsair RAM and I'd like to pick up the speed a little more than my current sticks.
Thanks....
