I don't know what OCCT tests to be honest. Never used it before. Only ran LinX and Prime95 on my system.

I do not think it has to pass every single test to be deemed stable. Not in my book anyway.
If you can get a good prime95 and OCCT result out of it that is a good start.
Try Intel burn test Standard 10 passes , and Maximum 5 passes. Worth a shot.
I am guessing the next step from this would be memtest4 again. You are having a rough time of late lettuce. Hang in there buddy.

Tell me about it, my last build (Abit IP35-Pro, Q6600, Geil 4GB Memory) was sooo easy, got it to 3.4ghz no probs or any issues what so ever once i had the voltages down, but this i7 setup is becoming a ball ache!!! If i select just 2-3 GB of memory in LinX it passes fine, its just if i select all it fails and its as soon as it lists the first pass in LinX it fails too!. Would that point to a faulty stick of memory?

Ok just ran memtest, and got shed load of errors:
When i took that picture the errors where still going up, i dont know much about memtest but looking at that pic, does it mean 2 of the sticks of ram have errors??
Also i have dl the latest memtest but for some reason memtest3.5 doesnt work gets to 7% and just locks up, i have to reset, put if i select the previous version (3.4) it runs fine, but as u can see from the pic 3.4 doesnt give correct info about my system where 3.5 does, any ideas?

Yeah ,, Just noticed your memtest is version 3.4 it seems. There were many problems with earlier versions on 1366 platforms from reports they show errors even there are not any. Try and download the new 4.0 version and see if it happens again.

Hi Lettuce ,
Man , two errors right at the end. Damn.
From my understanding if errors are incurred in any level then you have the right to RMA it mate. I personally have been lucky and every time run i've been ok. Even with my ram problems too.
Id wait to see what the others say who have RMA'ed memory before just for reassurance.
Really sorry to see these continuous problems your experiencing. Hang in there though , once you get a good batch you'll be able to start enjoying the system as you should be doing.
Best of luck

Ok i ran memtest again, just to make sure, this time more errors appeared, they started at 96% overal....

What voltage are you running the ram at?
Associate
Well as I'm using the XMP profile1 setting for the memory I have left the votlage as 'auto'. I know there surposed to run at 1.65, but if I select it manually I have to have it as 1.64. Do you think it's a voltage issue then?
Associate
Try it at 1.64 / 1.66 set manually 
Associate
Well i set the memorys rated settings manual and the voltage at 1.64, test each stick o its own for 4 passes in memtest 4.0. 1 stick came back with a fair few errors.....
Bit blury i know, i guess its this stick thats causing all the problems. Strange think is the longer the test went on the more frequently the errors started to appear!?

Soldato
what command rate do you set your memory to , if 1t i would suggest 2t and give it a go
Soldato
That's certainly not looking too rosy there lettuce =(
Can't think of what else to suggest now. You running it at 9-9-9-24 timings yeah?

Yeah running at 9-9-9-24-2 timmings, with 1.64 voltage. All stock cpu settings so the CPU isnt even overclocked!!
