Hey guys, I''m still experiencing this error after RMAing both Mobo and RAm

What could it be? Perhaps the a7n8x doesn't like my ram?

I'm hoping someone can help me out here because I get this error (though the actual numbers are always different) quite frequently with this ram and I'm wondering if its just horrible ram in the first place since It seems to be overclocked.

In the bios settings it reads it as 166mhz - but If i pick userdefined I find that 133mhz is 100% and 166mhz is 125%

but I picked 133mhz b/c I heard its better to run both ram and cpu syncronously

ASUS boards are known to almost always have problems with Kingmax RAM which works surprisingly well in other boards, and with some Kingston memory. It happens b/c ASUS boards usually supply a higher voltage to the RAM for stability.

or can i keep the ram and supply a lower voltage/whatnot to get it to work properly...

or since prices are so cheap and I got both stucks for 130 would it be better to go get Crucial Ram at the same price?
