So I'm running an ASUS C7H motherboard with a 2700X. I had two sticks of Team 3200MHz 8GB. I was hitting 3333MHz CL18 @ 1.4v. Now...I know that adding extra DIMMs usually results in lower timings, but I can't even get a few seconds into Windows now at DOCP/XMP settings. I tried down-clocking to 3000MHz and even a few steps lower and nope, crash. The only thing that's currently working is JEDEC standard clocks.
Is this bad of a drop typical, or did I get a few dud sticks? I'm thinking of returning the RAM, as right now the added capacity is not at all worth the drop in speeds (or are the frequencies relatively minor as far as performance goes?) I'm going to keep messing with settings, but I wanted to get feelers out there and figure out what people think. Should I try to get a better set of DIMMs?
