Hey guys!
After two years of normal use of my PC, I decided to add a new SSD to migrate my Ubuntu install (I was running WIN10 + Ubuntu on a single SSD).
While I was there I decided it might be a good idea to update my BIOS as I thought I might get some higher RAM speeds (as my kit was not supported early on and was running at 2400, 1.2v).
After the BIOS update I still couldn't get my RAM up to speed and I began receiving memory errors in both MEMTESTx86 and HCI.
Loads of tests later - pagefaults and IRQL bluescreens in Windows and random crashes in Ubuntu later, I am currently running stable on 2x4 out of the original 4x4 kit in slots A2 and B2.
So far I haven't noticed any problems when I switched out the two sticks for the other two - but as soon as I run all 4 of them I begin to have problems. I've tried them on AUTO, 1.2v, 1.3v, 1.35v but the problem still persists when all of them are there at the same time.
The funny thing is this - the config ran at AUTO 2400 with no problem for two years straight with all four sticks (up until the latest BIOS update). Also, the MSI web page now lists my kit as supported but next to it it has checkmarks next to 1DIMM, 2 DIMM, and doesn't have a checkmark under 4 DIMM. I was thinking of flashing back to the older version of BIOS (if that could even be related in any way) but of course it won't let me do that
My full build specs:
AMD Ryzen 1600X
MSI B350 Tomahawk
HyperX HX430C15PB3K4/16 - 1.35v 3000mhz 4x4GB kit
Asus GTX1060 6GB Strix
Seasonic MI2 520W
