Marco76 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Hi all! I've got a problem on my: - GA-990FXA-UD5 rev 1.1 - AMD Phenom II 965 @stock - Corsair 16GB / 1600Mhz Vengeance LP [2x8GB] CL9 1,5V rt [CML16GX3M2A1600C9] I cannot have a Memtest86+ v4.1 test without any error! No matter the setting I put in BIOS.... Tried combinations of: - Full auto (puts 11-11-11-30 in auto mode and 1333Mhz) - errors in test #6 of Memtest - Manual settings as per specs of DDR3 (9-9-9-24, 1.5 v, 1600Mhz) - errors in test #6 of Memtest - Profile 1 auto setting from XPM Profile - errors in test #6 of Memtest - ganged and unganged - errors in test #6 of Memtest - raised mem voltage at 1.550v - errors in test #6 of Memtest - raised mem voltage at 1.650v - lots of errors in test #6 of Memtest - raised NB VID at 1.300 (+0.200) - lots of errors in test #6 of Memtest The best I can get is at 9-9-9-24 @ 1.550v @ 1333Mhz - only ONE error in test #6 of Memtest, but this for sure don't satisfy me.... Any suggestion??? I'm getting crazy!!! Marco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanutz94 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 HAve you tried testing each stick individually to see if you could pinpoint a bad module? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco76 Posted March 23, 2013 Author Share Posted March 23, 2013 Last night I've done other tests: even at 1067Mhz (553ddr) @ 6-6-6-20 memtest86+ 4.20 give test #6 errors even with NB VID @1.325v (stock is 1.1v) if I try to overvolt DDR3 more than 1.550 errors became thousands.... Tried disconnecting anything from PSU except MB and video card. Same the best I can get is 1/2 errors and mostly at 10492.8MB Tried a single DIMM module. Memtest86+ shows freq @ 200Mhz (DDR 400Mhz)... Wired... At that clock I can pass a single test.... I'll try to RMA it? How's the procedure here in Italy? It takes a lot of time?

Marco76 Posted March 24, 2013 Author Share Posted March 24, 2013 Tryed full memtest on single bank with settings of the DDR specs. Each module fails (first one with only 2 errors at test #6, second one with over fourty errors...).... I'm down.... Could it be the Processor or the MB??? Thanks Marco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanutz94 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Before you go swapping MB/CPU try replaceing the memory or if you have a frirend that could let you borrow his memory to test your board with, that would be the first thing i would try.

Marco76 Posted March 25, 2013 Author Share Posted March 25, 2013 Hi! Unfortunately I've got any possibility to test another RAM. My friends are all at DDR2 stage :) Maybe I can look at work.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco76 Posted March 25, 2013 Author Share Posted March 25, 2013 Tried my RAM on a PC @work. 1333 @ 9-9-9-24 And NO ERRORS.... It could be the MB... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted March 25, 2013 Corsair Employees Share Posted March 25, 2013 Make sure you have the latest BIOS on your board if you haven't done so already. It looks like there has been 12 releases total for this board alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marco76 Posted March 25, 2013 Author Share Posted March 25, 2013 In case I wanna change MB, there is a link like this: What Corsair Module or Modules will work with my MB? But in reverse? What MB will work with my Corsair Module or Modules? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marco76 Posted March 26, 2013 Author Share Posted March 26, 2013 Hi! Seen other users on Gigabyte forums that cannot run 8GB sticks on this MB.... Try old BIOS, RESET DMI... Nothing... Another evening of testing......... Contacted Corsair for RMA, and they accorded (really kindly in fact), but form me shipping out of country is really expensive (30€!)... So: I'm just of ot Amazon... Result: Corsair CML16GX3M4X1600C8 AMD FX-8350 New shopping!!! I'll sell on ebay my Phenom II 965 and CML16GX3M2A1600C9 ... Now I really hope to get a STABLE running system... :) :) Will see..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
