So the parts for my i7 refit came in yesterday... i7 920 (packaged in May... ought to be a D0, yes?), open box P6T6 WS Revolution, 12GB of Corsair XMS3 DDR3 1600 RAM, and another 300GB VelociRaptor to run with my current one in RAID 0. In any case, I get everything installed, load up Win7 RC... only 8GB of RAM is being recognized. Alright. So I pull out the sticks in slots 1 and 2. Okay, 4GB showing now. Put sticks in 1 and 2 back in. Pull out the sticks in slots 3 and 4... uh oh, still 8GB showing. Leave slots 1 and 2 empty, put the sticks from those slots into 3 and 4. 4GB. Looks like my middle RAM channel is dead.
That's 1 open box MoBo DOA for me. Ahh well, the risks we take. I'm gonna RMA it for a refund and grab a MSi Eclipse Plus in the meantime. Such a sexy board. Too bad though, the P6T6 is soooo nice.
