Hello everyone!
I have just purchased quad-channel kits for my computer (was using triple-channel for some time), and there seems to be some problem.
My configuration:
Rampage IV Black Edition (firmware version 601, then 801)
i7-4820k
2x F3-2400C10Q-16GZH amounting to 32GB in total
All settings are at factory-defaults and no overclock attempts were made so far.
After putting both kits into the motherboard and switching Ai Overclock Tuner to X.M.P. (tried both profile 1 and profile 2) I've navigated directly to memtest86+ and encountered many errors coming from module located in D2 slot. I've tried to swap C2 and D2 (which is difficult by itself since I'm using Noctua DH-14, forcing me to dismount it before manipulating DIMM slots) to see some effect, resulting in some unpredictable change in errors patterns: d2 was still failling (although on different addresses), so was b1.
I was counting on the memory working at rated speeds without too much effort, and I'm not particularly experienced in overclocking, therefore at the moment I can't even determine if the problem is with faulty memory or weak CPU's IMC (is that even possible that 4820k can't handle 8 sticks at 2400?). I've decided decreasing frequency down to 2133 and tigthening up some timings (currently at 9-11-10-29) while still using the X.M.P. profile for all other settings, which runs just fine and handled to run memtest86+ for 3 hours.
