I actually have 4 gigs of gskill DDR 3 1600 and from experience I can tell
you that the stock voltage on those chips is set too low. The company
actually recommends that you use 1.9 volts while most motherboards will
default to 1.5 or 1.6. Double check this however, because I know they were
working on some JEDEC compliant DDR 3 (standard voltage of 1.5) a while back
but I'm not certain if they just decided to throw in the towel on that
effort. My system would crash using 1.5 but wouldn't produce any errors on
memtest86+. This all just sounds too familiar.
