ok here goes,,,

Got new ram today, to go in my asus p8z68-v
Patriot Viper "Black Mamba" Generation 3 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel kit (PV316G160C9K)
https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-059-PA

fitted and started testing to find it giving errors!! :eek:
Tested it with memtest86. . been testing it all different ways for hours :mad:

1st.. both sticks tested set with xmp profile... erorrs
2nd.. stick-1 tested set with xmp profile seems fine, (2 passes memtest)

3rd.. stick2 tested set with xmp profile... erorrs
this stick (stick2) i have tried with lower speeds 1300 and tried increasing voltage a little 1.575. and tried it in different slots.

is there anything else i can do or check, or what i have already done be good enough to start RMA ? (not even sure how to start the RMA process)

thanks for any input

Thanks divine
just want to be sure i'v ruled everything out. but if 1 stick works then the other 1 should at the end of the day.

hate the thoughts of an RMA, more time & money P&P then waiting on dilevery again, already had 2 days off cause super duper DPD said they wher coming then did'nt.

sorry moan over

Hi larry
Sorry but got them sent off (rma) fast as i could. so cant look right now.
But as far as I can remember I dont think i would be able to see chips as the HS covers them and is stuck to the chips, would'nt like to start ripping them apart.

Will look at them when i get a new pack but dont think I can help sorry mate
