GA-770TA UD3 memory problems, still stumped

[r9ball]

Ok sounds like a plan,, I also have post on AMD, and OCZ forums to try and find solution.

Please let us know of any developments that you find along the way.

Well we seemed to get problem narrowed down to the picky memory controller on the CPU (965 BE 125w).
I sent it back to AMD under warranty (retail boxed) and they were pretty fast at sending me a new one. They only wanted the CPU but sent me  back a new retail pack with heatsink/fan (not that I used the original). Pretty nice of them.

Popped that new baby in with all 4 ram chips (could only use 2 before) and she fired right up without a hitch. Will have to see if I can get it back up to 4ghz with all the ram.

Anyway, now I gotta do some checking to see if it is worth upgrading my H50 cooler to the new H70.

Hi r9ball,

Pleased that AMD replaced your CPU without a problem which just goes to confirm that they know there is an issue with the memory controllers. It also goes to show that there wasn't a problem with the GA-770TA-UD3

Have fun in trying to break Warp Speed and don't forget to let us now how you get on.

Glad you got sorted. Good service as well.
From the write ups the H70 isn't much of a upgrade on the H50 but we would be interested in your opinion if you decide to go ahead.
