4 sticks of ram with an amd processor

[Anarchist420]

Is it supposed to be 100% stable unconditionally, 100% stable under some conditions, or never 100% stable?

If having 4 sticks of ram with an amd process is stable under some conditions, what conditions are those?

I thought it was more of a chipset/motherboard problem (i.e. voltage or heat) than a problem with the CPUs themselves.

I am assuming you mean 4 sticks of high speed RAM (DDR3-1333 or higher, or DDR2-1066)

If so, it is a combination of all of them
The CPU is the biggest factor, but the BIOS (mobo) has to allow them to run at full speed. I am running a Phenom II X4 955 BE on a gigabyte GA-MA785G-UD3H with 8 GB of PNY XLR8 DDR2-1066. The system runs flawless. Another machine with an athlon II X4 630 had 8 GB of the same PNY DDR2-1066 and also ran great (GA-MA78GM-US2H) Curiously, a twin system of that machine wouldn't even boot with 8 GB at ddr2-1066... I am assuming earlier stepping of the cPU.

If you run them at lower speed (DDR2-800 for example) all the combinations of mobo/cpu and ram will be rock solid.

you may have to run 2T command rate but you should be fine

four dimms is going to put more stress on the memory controller so maybe raising the uncore can help

Is this a serious question?
