790 corruption issues?

[saaya]

Around the EVGA forums Patriot has the fewest issues on the 790iU
Gskill has the most issues and OCZ comes in second.

dont you think this is simply based on coincidence and hence the more widespread a brand is the more people will report issues using this mem?
ocz seems to be very widespread and gskill as well while patriot is used by very few people.

add strikerII nse ?? no corruption yet.

your the only person i know using one... and i bet its not a retail board, or is it?

longsiew!! a lot of times due to GTLRef / VTT Ratio... try 0.584x for ref 0 and 1. i saw a ref mobo's VTT move and those spikes always gave me corruption. if u can monitor vtt throughout a period of time to see how stable it is...

yeah, the 790 problems all seem to have to do a lot with vtt.
that explains why some boards have this issue and some dont, and why some people report a board works fine with one cpu and doesnt with another. the problem is that 65 and 45 and quads and duals have different preference for vtt, and even the same type of cpu has different versions of cpus, some that like higher and some that like lower vtt...

ideally the board should set a certain vtt automatically depening on whether a cpu is recognized as dual or quad, and whether its 65nm or 45nm.

OBR, why do you keep posting that you dont have any issues?
first you said all was great, again and again, then you said you had instability issues too and didnt post for some time, and now your back posting again and again how everything is rock stable :P
instead of repeating how your system is stable, which doesnt help anybody, could you please post your detailed settings or maybe some tweaks you found to improve stability? that would actually help people... just telling people that have stability problems that you dont have stability problems... isnt really helping anybody
