In all 3 if I add a second DIMM, then the "bad" DIMM disappears and only the second one is visible.
Is that a normal failure mode?
If so, is it a bad DIMM, or something wrong with the MB?
do memtest report exactly the same ram model number?
fyi: The model number was the same. So was the "version" number on the paper label on the DIMMs.
Per the Tech Support guy, the version number reflects the source of the ICs (Integrated Circuits) on the DIMM.
Every time the supplier of the ICs or the specs of the ICs change they change the version number.
In my case all 4 sticks had the same version number. Even then the Tech Support guy said they was no guarantee they would work together.
Greg Hi Have you looked in the BIOS Ai Tweaker menu, check the RAM specs and set the voltage etc as per the specs rather than auto?
I have not, but both the MB and Corsair recommend setting XMP (extreme memory profile) in the bios and letting that optimize the various RAM specs. In particular it sets the voltage to 1.2v which is what the Corsair spec calls for. I let memtest run all night and there were no errors. I cycled power this morning and my RAM dropped from 64GB to 48GB again. Time to take Corsair up on their offer to swap out the DIMMs. Thanks Greg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
