A-ha, a fellow sufferer! Misery loves company and so on 
. Id be interested to hear if you bought your kit from the same batch, mine were ordered on the 8th July.
Thanks for the assistance 8 Pack, its much appreciated. I was trying to get stock timings stable to be honest...that would do me just fine. Hell id settle for 2400mhz 9-11-11-28 but I cant get that either. I've tried up to 1.7vdimm near enough at both stock and the Xtreem 2400LV spd settings (same chips) and prime dumps within a few hours. I get odd hangs and pauses in use and the odd display driver recovery too, so its not just prime stability im lacking.
If I drop the timings to 11-13-13-35-1T I'm 100% stable at 2666mhz. I've dropped vdimm down to 1.63v now (1.62v errors, so that's the real minimum for the sticks at those timings). 1.61v is the minimum needed for 100% stable 11-13-13-35-1T 2600mhz. XMP timings at 2400mhz takes 1.58v (1.6v actual), this is kind of what I was aiming for at 2600mhz to be honest (1.60-1.65v listed as stock).
vccsa and vccio have been at stock the whole time, though I have tried up to 1.25v on both on occasion to try and force stability with XMP settings, but no joy.
The Raw Mhz profile (LB14) isn't stable for 10 mins at 2600mhz if you correct primaries to 10-12-12-31 with 1.65v. Testing at 1.675v now and its been going about 20 mins, I expect it to last around an hour if it falls in place with previous testing.
I'll get on to some single stick testing tomorrow night, and just on the off chance ill try the black dimm slots (though I know they're not as good).
I'd just like to do as much as I possibly can to be sure its the memory and not the IMC before I send it back. No sense in wasting ocuk's time and my money
