i have ram that has died because one module on the stick was bad....it happen with expensive stuff on an excellent board (IP35 Pro)...it was corsair dominators...i had to RMA the sticks...main reason for RAM to die on you is over-juicing the sticks and if you have a weak stick, it is a perfect way of killing the RAM.

i am currently using GSkill DDR3-1600, 2 x 2gb...works well, but i was careful with the voltage...i didn't take it over 2.05v.

this board is excellent!...i would rate it 9 out of 10.
