Asus P5N32E-SLI ram problems

Does anyone know if this mobo has stability issues if all 4 dimm sockets are used(4gb). I recently RMA'd one and the replacement has worked for a couple of weeks but now im getting a lot of bsods.I ran memcheck and it picked up lots of errors in the high ram area.

Have you tested each stick on its own?

smilertoo · 4 Aug 2008 at 14:40

Yes Ive done all that...ive had to rma every stick of this ram that ive had, im beginning to think this mobo is damaging them.

Ballistix?

Yes indeedy, crucial Ballistix 8500.

Look like i'll need to upgrade to an ip35/38 mobo to sort it.

Mine runs perfectly with all four populated.

Well Ballistix is well known for failing, so I would swap that for something else.

I don't think 680i has an issue with 4 sticks, but if you were to sell the Ballistix you could get a 2x2gb kit instead.

P5N32 E-SLI Plus is 650i/590 mess.

P5N32 E-SLI is 680i.

No, you are right, I was confusing with the P5N E SLI.

I think ASUS confused everybody with the naming of their 6 series boards.

Ditch the board ditch the RAM and thank me later...
