Anyone using 4 mem sticks in EVGA 680i boards ?

I know from past experiences some boards dont like all the slots populated, is that the case for these boards ?
Has anyone got all slots full and has a 24/7 stable system ?

Yes, but I can't get it stable over 400MHz.

Thanks Jokester, I am running @ 389 with my cpu overclock, slightly underclocking the memory (PC6400) so its close ..... would I have to lower timings too or do you think I could get stock timings (Geil 4-4-4-12 T2) with 4 sticks ?
Maybe I would be better buying 2 bigger (but higher latency) sticks ?

Well I'm using 4-4-4-12, but trying to push it over 400MHz and it's a no go.

What memory do you have ?
Just the pair like I have now are very tempting price atm

It's 4 1GB sticks of Team Extreme 5300 RAM.

Hmm desicions ... Thanks for the Info Jokester, I will chew that over

I personally won't be overclocking any higher than I am now, and the memory is PC6400 so in itself its not clocked.

i've got 4GB of crucial D9GMH, 2 of tenth anniversary and 2 ballistix c3 in a ECS 680i running 415FSB 4-3-3-15 @ 1:1 ~2.0-2.1v ...could get away with 1.9v with 2GB.
