Z68X-UD3H-B3. Is my Memory buggy or my mobo?

[Dark Mantis]

Yes as soon as you fill both channels with memory the board recognises it and goes into Dual Channel mode.

Thanks for all the help Mantis. Should 3 passes be enough?

[Dark Mantis]

To be sure you should do between 8 and 10. I know it takes a while but at least then there is no nagging doubt.

[Thorn14]

Alright. How does this sound.

Run 3 passes on each individually, then run it overnight with both in?


First stick passed 3 with no problems.

[Dark Mantis]

This isn't a negotiation. You can run as few or as many as you like but I am just telling you how it should be done to be sure of the outcome. You need to run a minimum of eight passes individually and then you can run them together. Your call.

[Thorn14]

True. Guess I'll run the first one over night. Thanks.

[Dark Mantis]

It is one of those things that takes a long time and there is no shortcut I'm afraid. At least you will know 100% whether your memory is ok afterwards. If you see any failures appearing you can stop the test there as it has failed. Don't forget if either do fail they both have to be RMAed as they are a matched pair.
