I do not see F3-12800CL10Q-32GBZL on their list?

Are you on Bios 2.13?

They rarely update the list, so it isn't surprising that it doesn't show up. This isn't ASUS who do extensive testing to check their compatibility across the board.

They sure have for the X99 Motherboard CPU's to. I am on my X79 Dark as I write this post. It is a Great MB.
I have 8 CMZ16GX3M4A2400C9 installed and they too are not one the List but Work Great, but I am only running them at 2133MHz.

I am running this G.Skill memory (F3-17000CL11Q2-64GBZLD) as I am typing this on my everyday machine and I have no issue either. It is also not on the list in your link. I almost never go by the QVL because a quad channel memory should just work. I am just pointing out the memory in my OP, from my experience, is not compatible with X79 Dark. The X79 Dark is a good motherboard features wise, but unfortunately, has several compatibility issues.
 

OK then, F3-17000CL11Q2-64GBZLD on G.SKILL Web Site also shows no support for EVGA Motherboards.
I just think you are being unfair to EVGA is all. Also the i7-4920K, i7-4930K, i7-4960X recommended per G.SKILL Web Site for GIGABYTE & MSI Motherboards but not for the ASUS Motherboard and only the P9X79 DELUXE (x8 DIMM) is supported.
Also most require you to use 8 DIMMs.

I wonder if this is just ASUS Owners Trolling now.

By my count I have done 6 builds using X79 Dark and by now I can say I like my RIVE better, which I have done 4 builds. I have no problems recommending Dark, but given the choice I would choose the RIVE which I think has less problems. Whatever G.Skills has recommended, I understand, but to me, the CPU and memory should just work.

Yeah, I have the x79 Dark as well, doesn't mean they have updated the QVL for it. 5 pages of ram for an Asus motherboard, let that sink in when EVGA only took the time to test 59 different part numbers and won't update it further, as this list is exactly as it was months ago.


The x79 Dark has 17 tested RAM on the QVL. 17... that isn't even attempting to try.


Op, I have Corsair Ram, so I unfortunately can't test it to help out. Have you tried filling 1, 2, 4, 6, and then 8 slots? Making sure it isn't a DIMM slot causing the issue rather than the ram?

I swapped the memory with Crucial memory and has no problem. Btw the Crucial memory are actually 2x8GB kit and I am using 4 kits. Just don't tell them that. 

I am SO telling! The Ram police will be there soon enough!.. lol.

Basically what this comes down to is opinion. In my opinion, EVGA is not a good MB manufacturer, and they don't invest in the research to keep their progress (notice the regression of features from the dark to the x99 Classified...)

Anyway, this is all off topic and not helping the OP. If it is to continue, start another thread.

I was able to confirm this is indeed an incompatibility issue. I got my hands on another EVGA X79 Dark and updated the BIOS to 2.13. I tested the memory with memTest86+ (passed), installed Windows 7 without any issues/blue screen, but it failed Intel Burn Test. I then took out just the memory, and tested with Crucial Ballistix Sports and Intel Burn Test completed without any problems.
 
I then tested the same setup (video card, PSU, CPU cooler, keyboard/mouse) using an ASUS X79 Deluxe (the black and gold edition) with the G.Skill memory.  memTest86+ (passed), installed Windows 7 without any issues/blue screen, and it passed Intel Burn Test.
 
Everything was run on stock, no OC at all.
 
Not sure why or what is the cause. If you have X79 Dark and thinking of getting this memory, I recommend no, even though it is currently on sale at Newegg for a very attractive price.
 
 
 

I did bump the voltage to 1.65V with the initial board and it was no go. I did not try the voltage bump with the second board, and I did not change the timings although I did run it at 1333MHz stock speed with the initial board and it was also no go with many BSODs. The memory kit is XMP capable.

You know Intel recommends you not running the mem controller on your cpu higher than 1.57 max, actually they say 1.5 +5% max. Being that your using 8 sticks you would most likely need to add some voltage to the mem controller to run that much hardware. Probably just booting with one, maybe two sticks, and then getting into the bios to manually set voltage and the timings would probably get you going. Then you can add two sticks at a time and adjust accordingly if something happens.I refuse to use the XMP setups because they pretty much never work or if they do it ends up putting the wrong timings in somewhere,the wrong clock rate or both. G-skill sticks are pretty good and pretty much work in everything ive ever put them into, so the only other thing it could be is that you have a overly sensitive, maybe even damaged???, mem controller on your 3960x or maybe a slightly bent cpu LGA pin/overly cranked down cpu hs/f/h2o block. The sticks weren't refurbs right?!?

I'm running G. Skill Ripjaws Z (PC3-12800) #F3-14900CL9-4GBZL 1866MHz 4x4GB kit here at 2000MHz without issue.  Timings all set manually.

Way off topic, but how does 85.90 mbs download speed only get a B+ rating?? 
 
Mine is only 45 mbs behind my router.
 
Okay folks , back to our regular scheduled programming.

I guess Time Warner is slipping behind.  Not to long ago, that would have been an A+ and faster than 9x% in US...
