2133 or higher low profile must be 16gb.
2x8gb

I am getting awfull stuff happening with the current stuff i have,

Avexir Core Blue Series 16GB (4x4GB) DDR3 PC3-17000C9 2133MHz Quad Channel Memory Kit (AVD3U21330904G-4CI)

when running @ XMP profile things in windows will just shut down no error in eventviewer
if i run memtest86+ it will do a complete pass error free then the next pass it will error or not but every time i leave it over night errors and i cant seem to get rid of them, bugging the hell out of me.

could just be that avexir are **** at being memory suppliers. or they dont test the sticks they send out for retail.
or my i7 or motherboard i just bought is the issue.
 
You could have just gotten a bad set of RAM ify our not happy getting the same again just change for some other well known brand

tested the memory and all sticks pass when i put 2 in and test pass, other 2 in pass, all 4 in failed.
run cpu at default and still fails a test
i can only put it down to that my motherboard does not like 4 dims or my i7 has a crippled imc.

trust me to buy mobo/cpu/ddr3 at the same time something was bound to fk up.
 
is a 2 x 8gb set better than a 4 x 4gb set for Haswell or will it have no bearing? Looking a 16gb set myself at around 2133/2400

Avexir Venom Series 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 PC3-17200C9 2133MHz Dual Channel Memory Kit (AVD3U21330908G-2CIG) - Green Light

Sending the stuff i have back for a refund, i just ordered this set same timings as the quad channel stuff but this stuff is dual channel kit 2x8.
this should fix the memory issues.

now all i need to fix is my graphics issues keep getting bsod 116 from ati driver, and i have installed and reinstalled drivers multiple times lol
