CPU: Intel Q8200 Core 2 Quad @ 2.33Ghz
RAM: Crucial 4x4GB DDR3 CL-11 1.35v
MOBO: GA-EP45T-DS3R
I am in desperate need of 16GB for AOSP work and other builds...and while I'm at it a little easy OC would be fine too.
At moment I'm in "bad ram hell". Of two RAM shipments (crucial and Amazon) only 1 of 4 worked. The others failed memtest in seconds...plugged in all by themselves.
Before I start returning RAM I want to know what options are left.
A few questions first:
1. Does the EP45T-DS3R support XPM?d
2. Does Crucial support XPM?
3. Given I can't even memtest with single chips that appear bad (always used first socket though)...what is there to do except get good ram?
Or is there a reason a chip might need to be in slot 2 instead of 1?
Help will be much appreciated.
