Stability problem with Corsair RAM
« on: 22-July-17, 21:56:34 »
Hello I'm new to the forum and I come to ask for advice. I've recently bought 8 GB of Corsair's RAM CMK8GX4M2B3000C15 to add to my already 8 GB of G.SKill Ripjaws V (3200 MHz). While playing I started experiencing crashes so I right the way start to test my system with P95 with the blend test. Those showed that my system was getting errors, a thing that before installing my RAM never happened, So I took out my Corsair's RAM and started to test my G.Skill by them self to see if I damaged something while changing components. I left it testing for 12 hours and no errors. Then I took out my G.Skill put in the Corsair and the truobles started again. I tried 2133MHz and even lower because I felt that the high speed might have made them unstable. Both cases errors. Now I'm wondering if the problem is the RAM I've got or the model. I will try to get a refund anyway, what I'm asking is if I should get the same model of ram or something else.

Doesn't make sense to guess what you have besides the ram.

you are mixing Brands of RAM and also mixing Chips so no wonder its unstable!

can you test the Corsair RAM on its own without the G-Skill RAM in the system and if its stable on its own but unstable with both sets in then you have a Mixing of memory issue! (Mixing RAM is a BAD idea)

Ops sorry, for my system I've got a r5 1600 and a b350 tomahawk. And as I wrote I did test the ram by them self and still they're unstable. I guess I'll just get a refund, probably buy directly 16gb and sell what I got. The 8gb ones are such a bad deal, my same model goes for 90€, the 16 is 130.
