My first time here so hi to you all :)
I am from turkiye  so  english isnt my first language, sorry about mistakes.

I have this mobo and these  ocz memories  x 2 kit.
Before I go any futher my system;

X58A-UD3R
i7 960  3.2 ghz (No OC)
OCZ 6GB 1600 MHZ x 2
Msi  6870 hawk X 2 Crossfire
1x westerndigital 1 TB sata3 black claive  on sata 3 port (windows 7 ultimate)
1x seagate  1 TB  sata 2   on sata 2 port
1x creative titanium HD
1x Highpower  750W  psu

I built new system after 2 years.
When I first build my system I was have 1 kit rams. these rams supoosed to run at 1600mhz  8-8-8-24  1.65v  and  these rams in mobo's memorie suppot list . I am getting random bluescreens   with codes    '3B'  or  '50'   and some more cant remember well.  even getting bluescreens with default setting  which is eveything on auto. ex: rams = 1066 mhz...    Not getting always but lets say 1 time every day  or in 2 days..  sometimes I run computer for 10 hours  nothing come out ... I shut down, go out for work and  come back push button,  just before windows screen again  blue screen.. its really annoying :/ I run 10 hours memtest  nothing came out also tryed single by single tests  no error.    then I bought 2. kit ram  again ocz brand same kit. I didnt use old ones at first. and  tryed new ones  but again bluescreen with differnt settings. default / 8-8-8-24 / 9-9-9-24 or 30   1.65V  auto volt... Maybe I have another problem on mobo  not sure which part I am failing. sometimes post screen takes 20-25+ sec...
 I went ocz forum  post there. I didnt get any answer sadly  >>
 http://www.ocztechnologyforum.com/forum/showthread.php?86666-GA-X58A-UD3R-REV-1.0-and-%283x2GB%29-OCZ3G1600LV6GK-Bue-screens

I searched on internet  and  I found I out these 2 brand  isnt working good together? at last for this mobo?  bcuz if you look  ocz forum > gigabyte   there is mostly  x58a-ud3r problems with differnt rank  memories...

Anyways thank you for reading. I am not hoping to get any answer you will tell  ask ocz most probably. they are not caring  either  bcuz I called gigabyte in turkiye. they told me  this mobo isnt suppot 1600 mhz ram so your fault.  I dont know if its my fault  since these rams  in memorie list for this mobo..... And still I am not sure if this memorie problem. Just letting you know  an unhappy custemmer here

Hi and welcome to the Gigabyte Forum.

OK so lets see what we can do. If yopu can answer some of my questions first it might make things easier.

Was the memory you purchased at different occasions but in matching kits ?

Have you set all the memory timings and voltages manually ?

Have you compensated for the filling of all the memory slots by increasing the voltage ?

Have you kept thew memory kits seperate and marked them so you cna tell the difference ?

No memory manufacturer will guarantee their memory kits to work together as they are not all matched but usually it can be done even if it means running at slightly looser timings.

OCZ memory doesn't seem to be as strictly quality controlled as it used to be and we see a lot of problems with their RAM.

Hey thank you for fast reply

these memories  >>  http://www.ocztechnology.com/ocz-ddr3-pc3-12800-gold-low-voltage-triple-channel.html
2gb X 3  triple channel    2. kit same with this one   so totaly 12 GB memorie

I tryed   all settings manual as  I read  ocz forum for these kit rams   1600 mhz 8-8-8-24  tcp:2   V:1.65   qpiV:  1.20-1.36
also tryed all setting  auto(default) >>  then rams run   1066 mhz  7-7-7-19  1.52V 

I tryed single rams at  auto setting and manual ocz  settings  at  ram slot 3_1  and  3_3  .  no error with memtest  but random  bluescreen. usully while windows starting or just before

I dont have any other ddr3 rams and unfortunately  my all friends still using drr2 systems so I dont have chance to try  differnt ddr3 rams.  I have to buy them if I need.  İf I knew  only problem is memories I would buy  another set with differnt brand.. but alrdy  bought  2 sets ocz memories with no error on  tests.  how Can I be sure problem is rams :/  and not mobo :( 

I accept running these rams with losing timings. I just want my system staible

Thanks for the answers.

As I mentioned before there is no guarantee that two seperate kits will work together. You failed to mention if you had marked the seperate kits so you could tell the difference ?

You also mention BSODs. What was the stop code that was displayed ?

I didnt understand you  clearly bcuz of my bad english even google translater sint make much sense  :(   I am sorry..but if you asking me if I bought rams single 2gb x 6   no.. I boguth 6 gb kit 2gbX3  and bought another same kit.. TO see if other kit has problem.  and I wanted to use 12gb ram.....  so  These 2 kits ram  same 6gb  kits.  2gb x  6  they are all same?    since this mobo  suppot  24GB ram  I should be be running 12gb ram without problem. Since these kits in your  website as memory suppot list for this mobo?

Well I can change these rams if you tell me what ram brand/speed I should get, these you know  working %100 perfect with this mobo. I want to use performance rams 1600-1800 or 2000   .   At least 6 gb ram.  if you tell me check memory suppot list, I am not going to trust this list again......   and also lets hope  only problem is rams not good with this mobo :(

btw  bsod codes: 0x50   , 0x3B   ,  0x0A  , 0x101  

thank you for reply

No I don't think you are quite understanding what I was saying.

I am clear that you purchased two kits of three modules each. I am saying that the two kits are not guaranteed to work together and you mustn't mix up the modules because they are only matched with the other modules in the kit they came in. Have you mixed them up or not ?

You don't need to change your memory yet. We will try and get it working at a better speed for you.

I didnt mix them up.  they have seri numbers on them, I know  which ones  1. kit of set   and 2. kit of set ..    I wont mix them  by mistake anytime  ;)

I puted        1. kit  to      3_1     3_3     3_5
                    2. kit to      3_2     3_4     3_6

I'd rather  to use these ones too with something acceptable speed, I will be happy anything is stabile

Right then you will need to increase the memory voltage to 1.70v to compensate for filling the slots.

Set the timings to 9-9-9-27

Make sure that your QV I/Vtt is set to about 1.20v but you might need to indcrease this bit by bit to get stability. you can go as high as 1.45v

Your BSOD stop codes are for memory voltage and incorrect timing. What is your Uncore multiplier set to ?

I am going to try these  settings you just gave me  when I got home from work  ;)

I will note BSOD codes  if I get any  and let you know what they are.

not sure about Uncore multiplier I need to check when I got home.  I use them auto/disabled I think  133?   
I   just change memory multipler to '12'  to get  1600 mhz

I will be back with pictures  ;)  thank you

ok here pics   ;)








1-) First I did your setting  9-9-9-27    1.70V  1.20VQci/vtt    
setted qpi clock ratio  x36  : 4800
uncore clock ratio  x18  : 2400
Got bsod with these settings called  IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQAL    0X0A ERROR


2-)Then I setted again   9-9-9-27    1.70V  1.20VQci/vtt  
 and I left  qpi clock and uncore clock   at auto setting everything else auto setting  which is  4.8 ghz qpi  and 3.200 mhz uncore as you can see at pic
Computer started without problem with  these setting  :O  these pics from  last setting I did. no error yet. I guess I just have to wait and see if its staible

Right as well as the other settings I have already mentioned you need to manually set your Uncore ratio to 24 to 26 . Try 24 and work up to 26 if necessary. Make sure all your other settings are as mentioned.

I saw your last message a bit late  :)  while uncore ratio on auto I run memtest with new settings to test  for 8 hours have a pic here  no error.  then I restarted computer  but  it didnt start  ???   :o  shockeddd

it gave error  called  bsod :    ''SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION''      0X3B


then restarted again  and got another  bluescreen  called   ''BAD_POOL_HEADER''    0X19

I shut downed computer and came work. now I saw your message and called  my room mate to change uncore ration to 24x at phone.  and he said computer started  normal after that :O
only problem was uncore ration?  I hope  it was ://  I will see personally when I got home.

Thank you for helping me out here  :)  you giving me hope about my new computer


here pic for memtest;

Well we shall see later when you can test it properly but it would make sense so fingers crossed. ;)

Yes I will let you know  when I got back to home  ;)

At least we can say  now  memories  working stable after 8 hours memtest done at 1600 mhz?
