Hi all, I'll try and make this quick.
A year ago I built an AMD system, with 2 sticks of Hyper X 1600mhz (4GB total). A few months later one stick failed - rma'd it and installed it again. Low and behold another stick failed! I put up with 2gb for ages then bought another 4gb set and you've guessed it - one stick has just failed. What's going on? I've set it to 1.65v, 1600mhz, 9,9,9,27. Could the slots be faulty? Should I try the other coloured slots?
Your help is much appreciated
