I'll be the first to admit that I OC - I love to do it and tinker around
I haven't been tweaking much lately and am actually enjoying some games (Guild Wars FTW!)
But I always seem to be having memory issues - sticks keep getting burnt out on me on my P5N-e SLI board - things go fine, everything is memtest stable and I'm not even OC'ing past MFG specs (I like CAS3 667 setting...) and then *BAM* won't post boot or go into OS and I get all kinds of errors in memtest when I do get it to post
Its happened with 3 different kits of ram and 2 different boards. Thing is its not ever both sticks of ram, its always 1 and always 1 in the right hand slots (regardless if I'm using the black or yellow)
Is it possible my board(s) aren't putting an equal amount of voltage to certain slots or am I just crazy - I'm thinking about going with another mobo solution (don't wanna as I like my options in the bios on this board) but don't want to keep on a first name basis with the RMA dept of Crucial.
