Maximus V Extreme Memory problem

[Siamak8286]

Hi guys, I've had the MVE board along with i7 3770K and 16GB of Corsair Dominator Platinum (4x4GB) CMD16GX3M4A1866C9 and I've been getting BSODs and instability with the system like hang ups, freezings, and so on. so I tested the Ram with memtest86 and it passed but I knew its a ram issue deep down until I found out someone else was also having the same issues as mine with the same Ram and Motherboard, so I returned the Ram and for the life of me can not find a good 16GB Corsair rams that are also 1866 or 2133 that are also in the Memory QVL list of Maximus V Extreme. and from what I gathered none of the Corsair Dominator Platinums are in QVL list of MVE.

Do you have Daemon tools light or Alchol 120 installed?

Yes I do, I have alcohol 120% installed but did not created a virtual Drive yet, just used it as my burning app.

Those two applications hare known to cause the error that you have posted. If it is not a mission critical application I would completely remove it and try to remove all the registry entries that will be left behind as orphans.

If you have the budget go for the Dominator range, both the Dom kits you have listed are good to go.

How about Crucial Blastik Elite, are they good? Between Crucial and Corsair which one is better quality?

Are you not a far of GSkill? They would be my first choice of ram.

I hope its not much to ask, but can you show me a Gskill that has a good performance, fully compatible and visually fits Maximus V Extreme? I need 16GB and also my budget is $180

This is designed for Ivy Bridge: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231588

I'm using it's 8GB 2600MHz version with a 3770k on the MVG and it's wonderful! :cool:

[HiVizMan]

That is the kit I would have suggested for you. Thanks Zka have repped you mate.

How about this set? I rather have 2x8gb instead of 4x4gb
