Well its entirely possible that a few of the combinations you tried where down to the cpu's IMC being weak ... to much tension on the socket,incorrect bios config or any of the other 50 things that will cause issues ...

shit like this has been happening since the the era of SIMM Ram
some combinations of ram,cpu,board just will not play nice
regardless of what the specs and the QVL say ...

Well this was with two 5960X's and a 5820K. Exact same symptoms on all systems, on all boards, in all settings. Only thing that was a constant was quad channel.

I mean, hey, you could be right...but the number of configurations and the consistency of it just seems weird. It's like, what configuration does this RAM work in???
