No. I RMA one kit and get the new set. The new set passes memtest but fails prime95 blend. CPU was prime95 small fft stable. I tried every setting imaginable, cpu-nb voltage up to 1.5v, nb voltage increase, 1333mhz 6 timings, 1600mhz 7 timings, nothing would pass a blend test.

Guys,

1600MHZ on the AMD platform is not a given just as 1T is not. I have tried 3 different types of 1600 speed ram and the board/CPU combination I'm using will not run stable. 2 sets were low voltage (1 being OCZ3P1600LVAM4GK) and 1 high voltage. On the Intel platform all 3 run at their rated speed and voltages without problems.

The best solution is drop down to 1333 and tighten up the timings. You will lose no performance and in some cases actually see a gain.

I've seen am3 boards run 1600mhz. DFI just wouldn't do it for me.

Well I was limited to one bios because DFI didn't include ACC code in any newer bios... Even on newer bios still didn't work properly.
