Running two sticks per channel is harder to drive. Are all 6 sticks 1.5v memory, or are some of them DDR3L at 1.35v? They are all 1.5... they are all identical Crucial's high end line Are you overclocking at all (my recollection is that you do not, but driving two DIMMs per channel becomes

I've seen something like that two times, but not on my P9X79WS. The first was on some LGA1366 boards with uneven CPU mounting pressure causing some of the memory channels to not make connection (resolved with the two-lever system on LGA2011).
