No problem, I'm just sorry again that this problem got to this point. It would take a 12 pack of your favorite cold beverages to talk thru all of the issues that collided simultaneously to make this a perfect storm of a tech support/customer service nightmare. We know what the problems are but...

That's already on the TO DO list.

No problem and sorry for the delay. I just sent a message internally, Kelvin did the heavy lifting. Now, we just need the OP here to reply so we can take care of him. For anyone else with issues, we appreciate your patience while we rectify this.

zero2dash, did you get any email acknowledgement when you submitted your ticket?

Do you have a ticket number? Post it here and I'll ping CS directly and get someone to update your case. I won't offer any excuses as that does no good at all and excuses don't resolve your issue. We have had a crazy rush of on TS and CS as you can tell by the announcement on our forum. Add...

We have been running a series in our mods n builds section featuring prominent case modders. We're now doing the same with the heaviest of the heavy duty extreme overclockers. Come meet Dino

All of them please and a PM is fine if you prefer.

There are probably some engineers and RMA department managers that would debate the ESD issue with you.Like I said, it's impossible to assign a number to it but it can be a problem.

Post your RMA number or numbers and I'll get CSG to follow up with you on the TX750 and thanks for your patience in all of this. I think Redbeard is vacationing on a nice tropical island some place so I'll follow up.

There's no way to assign a number to it but, it's VERY likely that heat spreaders protect RAM from user error as a majority of people in the world replacing or adding RAM don't take proper ESD precautions when handling it. All in all, spreaders are dirt cheap for the most part so it's a win -...

Definitely sounded like a virus or memory leak. Were you running A/V when the problem started?

Look at yourTask Manager and see what is eating up all the memory. Or find and download Process Explorer and use it.

Are your PSUs you had issues with still under warranty? If yes, RMA them and we'll replace them.

Actually, this is incorrect. All Vengeance modules are 1.5v or 1.35v and were produced to meet the Sandy Bridge voltage specifications. Also, we never sold any 2 module kits for Nehalem.

You could do RAID 0+1 or even better, 1+0. Striping 2 mirrors would be fast and provide a small amount of redundancy.

I've done a lot of generic testing over the years. I don't recall the specific breakdown of what apps or types of apps benefit most from memory frequency. But, on average you'll see about a 2% -3-% gain across the board if you OC your memory to 1600 or more vs the stock setting of 1066. So...

If you are going for a mid to high OC, then you will want the 1866 or faster so that you do not have to compromise on memory frequency. OCing memory alone offers minimal gains and you also don't want your memory to be limited to a very low divider when you have a high CPU OC.

I personally did not like the feel at first but I like it a lot now after playing a good bit of BF3 using it. And, it's also a great place to store the key caps and removal tool.

I don't remember the exact circumstances but I have seen several users report that they cleared up stuttering in BF3 by going from 4GB to 8GB.

I have not paid much attention to air cooling on X79. Is that cooler going to obstruct any of the memory slots? If yes, you may need the Low Profile Vengeance modules.

Pretty much any DDR3 1.5v module will run very close to the same temp as any other DDR3 1.5v module at the same voltage. Double sided modules will run slightly warmer than single sided but not enough to worry about and especially at 1.5v.

1443 / 180 = 8. This means you are using the 8x memory multi. Your next choice is 10x but I don't think you will have any luck running this memory at 1800. Depending on what options your CPU offers, you may be able to get about the same OC using a much lower or higher BClock and a different...

This is due to the memory multiplier you have chosen. List your memory multi, CPU multi, and BClock.

Technically it will work but it is not ideal. You will have to manually set the memory voltage to 1.65v to run them at their rated speeds. 1.5v is the max that Intel recommends for use with their SB CPUs.

Ignore Amazon and those reviews. It's a quad channel kit which means it's 4 modules tested and validated in quad channel on a quad channel MOBO. This is not to say that any acceptable 4 modules or 2 dual channel pairs won't work. They will in most cases. But, it's just like dual channel kits...

Sorry but no, the Airflow Pro only works with Dominator modules that have DHX Pro spreaders. Airflow Pro Product Page

It's been a while but if it matters in this case, IIRC, 780i and 790i were picky with memory in general and MUCH moreso with 4 modules. If you can get the right density, I suggest 2 modules if you have the choice.

Wow....I take that there are some people posting here that NEVER do anything just for fun or for the hell of it? I've done some BMX racing n riding, bungee jumping, and beer drinking which has no practical purpose but it was fun. Of course, I never came close setting any world records in any of...

If there is some bottleneck to the system/software, such as HD thruput, then no, you can't make the software use more RAM. If you can't feed it data from HD and write the output quickly to a HD fast enough to saturate the CPU or the RAM, then you must improve the HD thruput first. The next...

1 or more SSDs might be a good idea too and especially if this person is making money editing. Time = money.

Keep in mind that a lot of those "C" type boards that support DDR2 and DDR3 were very problematic with DDR3 in general. I'd avoid DDR3 in that board if it was my system.

If you can show me any reliable documentation of this, I'd like to see it. And before you ask, NO, I am not going to reveal our internal numbers for failure rates but I will tell you that it is nowhere close to even 5%, much less your 5% - 10% you seem to be pulling out of thin air. You are...

:cool: :cool: Have you checked your average or max memory usage doing any of this? For professional curiosity, I'd dig some screenshots of some memory usage. My personal best oddly enough is my server. I'm running the latest version of FreeNAS running a ZFS RAID-Z2. When I hit the server...

FWIW, "UTT" was Samsung ICs. They were untested TCCDs which was DDR2 and that was about......5+ years ago IIRC. And, that meant "UNTESTED", not "FAILED". And, we tested them ourselves before we made modules with them. As for why there are "so many defective Corsair DIMMs right out of the...

It's simple. Anything with a semiconductor can fail. That's why we offer a lifetime warranty. If you have a set of memory that won't run spec or has failed, RMA them. We'll gladly replace them. We don't do everything under one roof so don't try to draw too many conclusions from pictures on...
