I have a 4770K with a M6E and a GSkill Trident C11 2800MHz 8GB kit that I have not been able to get OCCT to pass the CPU 64 Bits AVX Linpack. I was finally able to get it to pass yesterday afternoon at a dram freq of 2400MHz and a NB of 3900MHz with the CPU at 4.4GHz.

I am going to try the dram at 2800MHz with the NB at 3900MHz tonight and I would like to know if having the ram in the black slots will affect the test passing / system stability.
yes it will , recommend to use red slots
