Z87 When will Gigabyte fix the 4 DIMM memory issue?

[Hikari]

Thanks for the update.

My mobo is still on RMA due to DualBios issue. It will be a shame if after I receive it back I have RAM issue. I'll have to RMA again and buy another one. I see I won't be able to properly use my PC for like 3 months yet.

Thanks Gigabyte, we love you!

@svartberg I got exactly the same motherboard Z87 D3HP (rev1) (and same problem btw)

Which BIOS are you using ? On which OS ?

I'll try switching internal graphics back on but seemed I had the same problem before.

For the record :

Updated from bio v9 to the new bios 10b with my Z87X-ud3h, to see if 4 DIMM issue fixed, but I now have no on board audio (as far as my OS X build is concerned).  Has anyone else seen this?
I have yet to replace my 3rd and 4th DIMMs, so unable so far to report on that issue.

I have 4 DIMMS in my Z87X-UD3H with F10b.  No crashes any more (3 days).

Seem to be some hidden changes to audio, but I now have that working again.

Everything I read points that its a hardware board limitation (failure caused by poor power transfer to the RAM or something)

That's why I gave up on it, and switching the board to different brand soon
Btw on 1666mhz I get about 1 crash a week, faulty engineering is still faulty

Just tried, had to disable Intel virtualization in order to boot but it seems better.

Motherboard had auto-detect 1600 memory as 1333, even with only 2 slots. I've forced 1600 from BIOS (with some graphical strange bugs) and it seems to work pretty well (with 4 slots 4gb each)!

I'll get back to you in a few days.

Thansk @ex58 for the update notice.

1666 MHZ....?
You even don't know your memory speed,not to mention your opinion.

@svartberg: flash the bios with the f7c

Hy
new entry - my GA-Z87-HD3 -brand new - have a bigger issue. I can start just whith 1 dimm memory  .
I instal my components and my sistem not start. First sign from motherboard - continuous short beep and self restarting after 10 or 15sec. After a short break i manage to start just whith a single memory installed. I had no luck with dealer service. Sorry but the matherboard was packed improperly and "physical defect caused bent pins. not subject to warranty". No test, no conclusion. Some good advice?

Update, bought asus motherboard z07a, unlike the gigabyte the z97A has a crappy onboard sound so had to buy that too
Anyway screwed again, the asus z97A doesn't support the Kingston KVR16N11/8 8gb sticsk in 32gb mode

So lost a lot of money & time, jakes on me

I only post to warn you guy the real problem in my case was kingston poor compatibility not motherboards.

Just an update, I previously reported that enabling on-board video on my Z87X-UD4H seemed to solve my BSOD's in Win8 but I've switched to Fedora Linux and under Linux it was immediately obvious that my RAM was still unstable. So I started testing with Memtest86 and sure enough I had a bad stick. Looks like my original set was bad and so was the set Newegg sent me to replace it. Mushkin support was great. They sent me a new 4-stick 4x8GB set (#994110) and it is completely stable now. It wasn't the motherboard after all.

Don't make the mistaken I did and do your debugging based on whether you get app crashes or BSOD's. Properly test your sticks with Memtest86. I used V5.1.0 Free from www.memtest86.com. Tests #8 and #9 consistently threw errors before but now with the new 32GB quad kit I can run memtest86 for 12+ hours with no errors and Windows & Linux are completely stable.
