I got a great deal from Fry's for the TWIN2X2048-6400PRO. I have a evga 680i board and I can only get a post with one gig of memory out of the matched pair. I thought at first that just one of the sticks was bad so I started a an RMA with Corsair and sent in both sticks. As I have been waiting to get my memory back I have been doing some reading about the 680i board on the evga website. On their site, evga doesn't mention whether the TWIN2X2048-6400PRO has been tested or is compatible with the 680i.

So, I have two questions:

1. Does anyone have this memory and a 680i board?

2. Because my machine posted with 1 stick out of the two, would that mean that my memory is compatible and I just have a bad stick, or would it mean that my sticks were fine and this memory is incompatible with my evga board?

Any insight would be helpful. I've tried searching the forums and I haven't found much but forgive me if this is answered some where else.
 
Yeah, that is how I found the problem. I put the good stick in and it would post. Then I would put both sticks in and it wouldn't. Then I would put the bad stick in by itself and it wouldn't post. I felt that that was pretty conclusive that one of the sticks was bad.
 
Yeah. Definitely sounds like on of the sticks was bad, then. Whatever happens, you'll be getting a replacement sent to you, right? Then you can see if there are any compatibility issues.
 
By chance, what BIOS revision were you running? From the EVGA support website for the 680i BIOS revisions.

Also includes these updates from bios P20, P21, P23, P24, and P25:
  • Vreg fan header default set to on
  • Memory performance improvements
  • Vista WHQL Certified
  • USB Floppy improvements for RAID installs
  • Correct CPU temp and voltage system monitor displays in BIOS
  • Correct default CPU multiplier setting
  • Fix "Code 50" hang received under certain VGA configurations
  • Fix for SATA disk drives
  • Improvements to memory stability and overclockability
  • Disabled spread spectrum tables for improved overclockability
  • Improve POST screen CPU speed reporting
  • Improves X-Fi and internal audio functionality
  • WHQL Certified BIOS
  • Improvements to overclocking
  • Enhancements for Quad-Core CPUs
  • Adds ability to enable splash screen
Looks as if they fixed a couple of memory issues. The Corsair Pro's you have contain the EPP modules correct?
 
Yeah, the modules are EPP. I'm not sure of the bios revision and I have no way to check it right now because I have no back up memory to stick in there. Unless there is a way for me to check on the board itself. I bought it just a few weeks ago.

I just got the confirmation from Corsair and my sticks will be here on the 16th.
