hmm.. if hci memtest with 5-6 instances pans out to 500% it's not imc i don't think.
Sounds like a bad ram slot.. i assume you tried using the other configuration for triple channel? use the other color DIMM slot.
check for broken traces on the pcb itself (motherboard pcb)
BTW.. this might...
Hi there.. newegg auto notify is crap.. i suggest getting firefox and using the addon "check4change"
or download this program and it will constantly check in the background until the instance it pops up

it depends on the type of cooling.. with reference cards, hottest place is usually gpu or vrm area... for monitoring purposes i think you'd be best off putting it near a point where you can accurately measure gpu temperature
you have 6gb of ram?
run 6 instances of 1000mbs each up to 500% completion.
or fit as many mb you can in 5 instances... Running more instances will yeild more stress overall.
Be sure to have proper cooling since it will be extremely intensive
yes.. some games, especially games that are ported over are extremely dependent on cpu.. overclocking will significantly improve performance in these games.
Also, when it comes to multiple gpu configurations.. having a higher clock speed will help alleviate any bottleneck issues.
multiple instances of hci memtest running all at once (divide capacity of ram by x number of instances so they are evenly spaced out having x being the greatest common factor)
huh? you can do surround with 3 cards.. i've done it.. first two screens on first card.. last on second
and i have 3x570s.. they are very nice, but you won't utilize them unless you are clocking fairly high on cpu 5ghz when on res @ 2560x1600.. if you are using it for 1080p.. you will need to...
1.65 is fine.. i have been using it 24/7 since release date.. no problem
i've gone up to 1.8v on memory and everything is a ok
(look at my hwbot if you don't believe me ;)) i did it with cl6 2265MHz+
it depends.. on 1155 prime 95 blend has a nack for finding unstable overclocks.. linX with updated linpacks with sp1 (updated instruction set) will also yeild an unstable overclock pretty quickly.
sounds like you ripped off one of the integrated circuts on the memory module.. each DIMM is made up of XX density ram chip (IC) which compose the entirety of a single DIMM.. if you ripped one off.. then you are left with an dead stick :(
sorry man.. next time put the stick in the freezer for...
don't get the hd skews of the 570s... they cool as worse or even worse than the reference design.(i've had a few)
I normally would recommend the 570, but taking into account the value and what you will be using it for... get a 6970.. more vram
if not and you can afford a 2.5gb 570.. then get...
for most general consumers.. a golden chip is a low volt chip.. i.e 1.4v for 5ghz..
however for me a golden chip is a chip that has a max multi of 56 or above.. also needs to be 2d benchable at max mhz... 3d should be stable somewhat near max mhz
xmp.. generally speaking is nothing but overclocked presettings.
it is defiantly not guaranteed to work, as it will depend on the individual motherboard you are using and the chips imc.
It will also depend if xmp was design for your platform.. i.e p67/z68 vs x58 or p55
i recommend manually...
2n is the command rate... 1 is more aggressive than 2 and the latter will usually preform less than the former, but will give you more headroom in terms of mhz, generally speaking.
However this is all pretty much irrelevant since sb is blck limited.. 2n will usually also get you better...
