HarryO Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Well, I spent days trying to get my system stable without success. I bought an ASUS Striker II Extreme and decided to populate it with 8GB. At http://www.corsair.com/configurator/product_results.aspx?id=488952 I read that Corsair TW3X4G1600C9DHX is guaranteed-compatible for the Asus Striker II Extreme. Then I bought 2 kits of that memory. System did not got stable at all. I questioned ASUS and they said that memory is not at their Qualified Vendor List thus they cannot guarantee it will work. They said more: at http://www.corsair.com/testreports/report_list.aspx thereis no mention to tests by Corsair with that memory! I only got stability downgrading to 4 GB (2 modules). Now I have on hands some 300 dollars of Corsair memory without use for it. I really do not know whom to blame for this situation, ASUS or Corsair. Or myself. Sorry.

Wired Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 None of the above. No one has tested 2 pairs of that memory together and as such no one can guarantee that they'll work together at rated speeds, especially if you mix versions (ICs). Any of the 8 GB packs should work on your setup just fine: http://www.corsair.com/products/corei5/default.aspx Note that the memory speed will be limited by the CPU's FSB.

cje Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 I have the same motherboard and ram as yourself. I am suspecting a corrupt OS that's causing my issues at the moment now. However, I did used to run 2 kits of Corsair xms3 1333 c9 dhx (4gb total). To run 4 ram modules correctly you either have to lower speed, or raise the vdimm above what's required. If your kit is like mine then they need 1.8v for 1600 99924 . My board had issues carrryin the volts across to the fourth mem slot. I don't know what your vdimm currently is, but you might need to give it a raise because of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
