Do you even understand what crapshoot means before you decide to run your mouth? Maybe I'll point you to a definition...Originally Posted by Live or Die
well your answer is a crapshootthis is on my board
i dont use the uncore and if i overclock my bus speed to 150mhz and leave my ram set to 1600mhz 1.65v my ram drops down to 4gb, when uping the voltage to 1.7 and higher it drops more down to 2gb, down the volts to 1.6 i get all my ram back, i have more testing to do tomorrow.

Next time bite your tongue please....nobody was insulting anyone.
Now that we got that out of the way, are you on an R2E or EVGA X58? Because EVGA has some serious issues with memory it would appear...and this is a R2E thread so quite likely EVGA experiences will not apply. Also, what do you mean by "you do not use Uncore"? You cannot "not use [it]". Uncore is part of the CPU and it stands for everything that is not CPU core (yay Intel engineering team, great name), i.e., cache, IMC, etc., and it needs to run at minimum 2xDRAM speed.
No. That would be an equivalent of a mass recall. That is not the point of an RMA. But it would be nice if that's how it worked.
I have not tried this yet, but this seems to point to a memory incompatibility issue. Can't say that R2E does not have this problem...also, I would say you need to test this out over a couple of days, or at least in my cause I would have to as cold boot problem does not happen all the time...Ok concerning the cold boot issue, i think i'm on to something! I've set my RAM timings manually. Especialy this one "DRAM Back-To-Back CAS# Delay", AUTO sets this value to "0" and i have set it to "18".
Since then i'm cold boot issue free, 3 days and counting
Maybe this board just needs a nice warm blanket and some tender hugs to run nicely
