Short version:
I've had nothing but trouble with Super Talent T8UB2GC5 2GB DDR2-800 with this motherboard. (It might be my fault... or it might be incompatible).
I'm going to replace it with 4x2GB GSkill F2-8000CL5D-4GBPQR.
Long version:
I recently completed an upgrade of my system with the following components:
Q9450 OEM
Rampage Formula
4x Super Talent T8UB2GC5 2GB DDR2-800 (The super cheap $35/2GB sticks at ewiz)
I was able to O/C to 400 FSB at stock voltage and was 15 hour prime stable. However, after switching from small FFTs to blend to test my RAM stability, my computer crashed after only 3 minutes. I then ran MEMTEST on all possible pair combinations of the RAM and then each stick individually. What I found was that anytime one of my memory modules was in place, I would get hundreds of errors in MEMTEST and Prime would crash after minutes.
When I just use two of the sticks, I get no errors in memtest but my computer still locks up and blue screens during blend testing in Prime. I've tried upping NB voltage, manually loosening the timings, upping RAM voltage a bit, and trying different straps... all with the same results: the blue screens and crashes and errors during blend testing in Prime (while small fft stable all night long). I've even tried setting everything back to stock and underclocking ram and loosening the timings.. same results.
I think I can thus conclude that this memory is not compatible with this motherboard?
I am going to RMA it and replace it with 4 sticks of GSkill F2-8000CL5D-4GBPQ R that bigslappy, lostlilchild6, and seamumc are using with this board as it seems to work great.
