I have 10 new OCZ PC3-10666 1333 MHz Gold XTC 2GB sticks and 8 have failed MemTest86+ 4.00 at stock BIOS settings at 1066MHz using two different motherboards:Gigabyte GA-H55M-UD2H and Biostar T5 XE.
Once I noticed there were problems I started testing them individually to isolate any working sticks.
I have also tested Crucial 1066MHz DDR3 (single channel 2GB) and OCZ 1600MHz CAS8 LV Gold (dual channel 4GB) both at 1066MHz at stock BIOS settings and they both passed MemTest for 1 hour.
Before I return them to my supplier is there anything else I should check?
It does seem as if the CPU and motherboards are fine and the power supply is a Seasonic S12 II 500W which hasn’t given me any problems.
Is Memtest86+ 4.00 a reliable indicator that memory is faulty?
The SPD is 533 / 7 7 7 16 27 @1.5V
and the OCZ rated setting is
667 / 9-9-9-20 @ 1.65V
