I have not tried these settings with 8 gig in each so maybe what you said has been the problem. I will try on Monday once the other ram comes and let you know. Thanks for your advice and time!

Well the IMC is a dual channel IMC, it is not specced to run 2 sticks in dual channel and 1 in single channel.

I guess you can try to run like that but i would not be surprised if you have issues trying to do so.

I only have 6 gig in each right now. Will that matter? won’t have 8 till Monday. I did notice that 2 of the ram slots are black and 2 are blue right now am only using one of the blue ones. Forgive any stupid questions, these two computers were my first build and I had to have some help with that. So just learning.

The issue could be the 64 bit OS is harsh on the cpu’s memory controller then. I have seen some chips capable, however many are not. I would refer to OCZ support forums for support with 64 bit OS and 8 gigs.

I have phenom 2 x4 955 BE and have vista home premium 64bit operating system.

Ok, next question would be what cpu you are using?

The ram may be able to do the spec, the cpu’s memory controller may not however…….

I also assume you are using 64 bit with 8 gigs which is even harder on the cpu’s IMC.

I built two computers and bought 3 of the modules which have 4 gig in each from Newegg that gave me 6 gig in each computer. I also have just purchased 1 more module so I will have 8 gig in each on Monday. but to get it to run at 1600 I had to set the ratio on the motherboard to 4:1 and when I tried to adjust timing it would blue screen especially when I tried to adjust the case latency. My 790fx-gd70 sets the case latency to 9 the others to 11 and the last is 24 as it is supposed to be. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

This kit was never sold as a tri chanel 6 gig kit, my guess is you do not have the same exact modules.

I have a msi 790fx-dg70 and I have 6 gigs of this ram but can not get it to run at 7-7-7-24 1600. Any tips on how you got it to run at these setting?

Thank you Chew. This is just what I needed. I’m on the fence waiting for deals on AM3 motherboard, cpu and memory prices to fall.

Cheers,
John
