I am not sure if this belongs here or in the gigabyte forums, but since its more about the ram I will ask here. I have bought two of these 8gb kit. At first when I installed all 4 sticks I was having some issues in windows like my Asus Xonar D1 drivers not detecting my sound card correctly. I was set to XMP profile 2 (showing 1866/9-10-9-28) and was running the ram at 1.5v and QPI/VTT was at 1.050V. I decided to up the DRAM Voltage to 1.6V and my Asus drivers installed fine and I thought i was in the clear. Later I came home to a restart from a BSOD with a PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA BSOD/restart cause by Chrome and thrown by Ntfs.sys. At this point I decided to change to Profile 1 XMP (still showing 1866/9-10-9-28) and raise my QPI/VTT to 1.150V (to keep within 0.5V of dram voltage) and I tried a few windows apps and SWTOR and no BSODs.
To be safe I ran Memtest86+ overnight and woke up to 12+ errors (attached image). It looked to me as if the errors were at 8gb+ so today I ran Memtest again with matching ram pairs in Slots 1+2 then again in slots 3+4 (to keep dual channel) so 4 different tests. I also ran both pairs slots 1+3 and 2+4 to test ch a and ch b on the motherboard in single channel this would make 4 more tests. I did not get any errors.
At this point it seems the ram sticks are all fine and that I need to tweak either the DRAM Voltage or my QPI/VTT (to keep it with in 0.5V of the DRAM Voltage). Could I get any advice as to what I should set those voltages to or if I am using the wrong Profile for XMP (only other option is disabled which is 1600/11-11-11-28) or if there are any other voltage settings I should look into.
Thanks in advanced for any help!
