thats the same symptoms i had with my r2e running my gt's at 7-8-7-20
but worked fine at 8-8-8-24

it wasnt the ram
it was the board.
same memtest86 failure..

suspect the board dram voltages are having a lot of flux

I see. The only problem with this is that my original Dominators run fine then with the exception of the one stick which is physically dead (i.e., does not work at all any more). Also, increasing the timing to 8-8-8-24-2T even 9-9-9-24-2T did nothing to remove Memtest errors. I really think this time it was the DRAM and not the board. But we will see soon. The new shipment should be on the way today and I told them to test the sticks before sending them.

Edit: Not really related to above but I upped the Uncore speed to 4.2GHz. Check out the L3 cache speed...nice improvement over the previous speed
