Hey guys, I seem to be having a bit of trouble here.
My FX-8350 just came a few days ago and I've been building and tinkering ever since. However, I've run into a huge roadblock.
None of my memory can get past memtest.
I ordered Corsair Vengeance 2 x 8GB 1866Mhz RAM (to advantage of the new native 1866 dual channel support) and I'm installing it on a Sabertooth 990FX Rev2.0 board.
The first stick failed memtest, so I immediately backed it down to JEDEC 1333Mhz 2T. But no matter what I try, testing memory in recommended configs or just testing a single stick in each DIMM slot, test 6 throws up repeated and consistent errors, over 100 of them on each pass.
Corsair says the memory should run fine in the config I've got. Asus says the same about their board, though I've yet to test it with different memory... could be a bad mobo. That'll be the next thing to test and/or replace. So now I'm down to this.
Have there been any reports of faulty memory controllers in the FX-8350?
