Strange behavior with new G.Skill TridenZ (chanell drop, unstable)

[Elkim]

Hello guys,

I recieved my new G.Skill TridenZ today. Its F4-3200C16QTZB.

Problem is, that there is "chanell drops" no matter what I do. With my old Corsairs LPX Vengeance, I can run them @ 3000MHz 14-14-15-28 1T 1.45V a all 4 chanells running.

With those new G.Skills, I have a problems I just cant understand. The more tight timings I set for 3000MHz the less channels are in operation. For example, if I set 14-15-15-32 there are only 2 chanells running. If I set 15-15-15-32 there are 3 channels running but I cant do it to run them in 4 chanell with same frequency. After hours of tweaking and trying RE5 started to restart at post 00 no matter I set in BIOS via safe boot. I thought my CPU is dead. Then I put back old Corsairs and everything works fine and smooth like before.

VBIOS 1601
RE5
5930K @ 4.5GHz LLC 7, 1.312V

Is it possible that those new TridentZs are faulty?

Thanks for any suggestions 🙂

Your memory overclock is unstable. That's why the motherboard isn't picking up all the modules.

Well, it seems they're faulty after all, two of four stick won't post when they're plugged as single in primary slots.
