PaulCheck Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Hi: I'm having stability issues (BSOD and memtest fails on Test #5 only, although not always...perhaps when the system gets warm?) with TR3X6G1600C7D on my P6T V2 Deluxe. I've seen other posts regarding the P6T V2 and 12GB, so have realized that I should have ordered the HX3X12G1600C9 (which I have done now, express delivery..hopefully will have it by tomorrow to test). What is interesting is that even when I run with a smaller number of sticks and/or move the timings to 9-9-9-24 I'm still seeing issues, whether at 1333 or 1600 (XMP). Both 6GB packages have the same number on them, so I thought mabe this meant that the packages are compatible. Are there any recommended settings with even 1 stick with the mobo so I can determine if it is the memory or something else? Currently I have only 3 sticks in slots A1, B1 and C1. Should those run ok at any settings? If the new HX3X12G1600C9 also gives me a memtest problem then would it likely be a problem with the mobo or chip? Thanks, Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulCheck Posted December 14, 2009 Author Share Posted December 14, 2009 Oh...I should have added that it's with an i7 975 Extreme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulCheck Posted December 14, 2009 Author Share Posted December 14, 2009 One more comment (sorry so many self-replies :) ) .... I just saw the sticky regarding re-seating the CPU and heatsink. I always find it difficult getting the 4 pins from the heatsink to "click" (worried when I push so hard I will damage the mobo!). When I installed this chip one of the pins might not have "clicked" all the way, so I will check that later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowbeard Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Have you tried each kit of 3 modules as opposed to using 6 modules AND using the XMP setting in the BIOS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulCheck Posted December 14, 2009 Author Share Posted December 14, 2009 Yes, but the problem is that I didn't realize the kits are sensitive, so now I'm not exactly sure which sticks are "together". Is there a way to tell? I see an 8 or 9 digit number (they aren't in front of me, can't remember) that is also listed on the box, but both boxes have the same numbers.

PaulCheck Posted December 14, 2009 Author Share Posted December 14, 2009 One thing I probably should have also mentioned is that when I am getting memtest errors or BSOD, when I reboot often I am not seeing all the memory in the BIOS. If I tweak from XMP to Auto or vice versa the memory comes back. Would that be typical if the problem is just compatibility, or does that indicate a higher likelihood that the problem is the CPU seating? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
