Which 4GB kit for EVGA 680i SLI

[alevasseur14]

Summary pretty much nails it. I've been running 4 1GB sticks since July or so and all of a sudden, the computer no longer boots with all four sticks in. Everything is fine when I switch pairs around but as soon as I get four sticks in it's a no go.

I don't feel like trying to RMA this board again since the memory is the only issue here. I think just getting a 2x2GB kit is the best option. However, I went to the EVGA website and looked at their memory list and there are no 4GB kits listed. What gives?

I know people are running 2x2GB kits, I'd just like to know for sure which ones work. Thanks everyone!

I don't know of any mobos that have problems with Mushkin XPs: http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16820146789

Thanks for the suggestions. The OCZ memory is considerably cheaper. are you running them both in an EVGA 680i motherboard?

No. I suggested Mushkin because I don't know of any compatibility problems with any mobos. If expense is an issue, try these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16820146755

If you had a intell chipset i would go with better mem.
Had my 680 up for 2yrs.
No matter how you set it mem scores rot on a 680
Got a Asus x48 which is better on mem.
Can get close to 560 on Ballistix.

If you purchase GSkill (and they are a good quality product), be sure to get the speed you need. They bin their ICs very aggressively and frequently don't OC much over spec.
