Hey guys,

I got a pair of PSD38G1600KH 2x 4gb 1600mhz CAS 11 1.5v kit from Patriot. The first kit, I had alot of issue, so it has been sent in RMA. The other kit failed any test, so I sent it again, and now, I got a new kit, I'm still having issue with it, here's my test:

-Single channel on a MSI H81M-P33 with Pentium G3258, 1333mhz works
-Dual channel on Maximus VI Formula, 1600mhz and 1333mhz, works ( didn't retest since now it's not working on the other)
-Dual Channel on P8H77-M/CSM With it 2500k, 1333mhz and 1600mhz, doesn't works, computer crash alot, and memtest freeze at 2mins05 but single channel works
-Dual channel on MSI H81M-P33, freeze at 2mins 03 to 07, 1333mhz, CAS 9-10-11, 1T, 2T.

I've looked, they are different serial number, so it's not my last kit. Just for information, on the H81 and H77, I tested dual samsung/kingston 2x2gb, and on the H77, the samsung + kingston 4x 2gb and it works totally fine...

From my guess, this ram doesn't even works on all motherboard. All bios are updated. I contacted them to get another RMA but they don't do prepaid label due to internationnal (USA to Canada). So they are sending me a hand tested kit before I send them back the other.

I am really disappointed about their product, not working on all "standard" motherboard but worked on my Maximus.. Paying each time 20$ to send back the defective kit. The next one, if it doesn'T work, I think I'll put the ram into the garbage and buy another, as it will cost me more than a brand new kit.. I never had any issue with Kingston, corsair, or mushkin that I normally buy, even g.skill into a dell computer worked fine xD

Anyone had any issue with patriot? or have you already have similar issue with ram?

That bit of the OP makes me think it has nothing to do with the ram, but more the chipset or IMC on the other setups.

Could be, just very strange that 3 different CPU, main board, for Standard ram, not some high end memory, can't work? I never seen this with kingston ram before. My mushkin works on the 3 CPU at normal speed. Plus, I don't know what my friend tested, but he tested on 3 other setup, a sempron, a i5 2310 with a Gigabyte B75 mainboard, and had issue aswell.

but why this would be the 4th kit that would go in my hand, taht is making me mad, as normal ram should work on any board..
