 Hi EVGA master , i just got evga 3 sli classifield from my friend. but unhappy thing just happen when i finish my rig, here is the specification :
1. motherboard : evga 3 sli classifield 760
2. memory : Gskill 3 x 2 GB 16000
3. powersupply : corsair 750 watt
4. vga : zotac 260amp x 1
5. processor : i7 930

then problem is , i can't using triple channel system , the system always reboot few minutes after start in. but i found no problem if i put the ram on first three line.
note : triple channel ram slot is = 1 , 3 , 5 = problem
slot i am using right now = 1 , 2 , 3 ( no problem )

is there anything i need to run my system with triple channel ? what is the real problem with my system ( memory or motherboard ) ?

i am not a good overclocker so the system is running default. is there any great guys can help me out ?

    Make sure you are using only the red slots.  Those are 1,3,5.  The black ones are 2,4,6.  I know that seems weird.  Does it make it to windows?  Or does it reboot right after POST?

    What are the voltage, clock speed and timing specifications for your RAM?  What do you have it running at?  NOTE -- the board WILL NOT automatically enter the correct settings for the RAM.  At the very least you need to enable the XMP profile yourself to get the correct ram speed, voltages and timings. 

    I recommend not using XMP and simply entering them in manually.  Make sure your VTT volts are within .5 volts of your RAM volts.  I'm not 100 sure if XMP does that.  Default VTT for many BIOSes is 1.1 and default Dimm voltage is often 1.65.  That difference is greater than  .5.  BIG PROBLEM.  Make sure it's right.

    Re:Problem with motherboard triple channel or memory problem 2010/05/12 08:31:22 (permalink)
    Here is my template
    cpu clock ratio = 20
    cpu host frequency = 191
    mch strap = auto
    cpu uncore frequency = x17
    cu clock skew = 0ps
    spread spectrum = disable
    pci frequency = 100

    memory speed = xmp profile 1
    memory control setting = enable
    memory frequency = auto
    channel interleave setting = 6 way
    rank interleave setting = 4 way
    memory low gap = auto
    tcl setting = auto
    trcd setting = auto
    trp setting = auto
    tras setting = 24
    trfc setting = 78
    command rate = 1t

    evga vdroop control = with vdoop
    cpu vcore = 1.2
    cpu vtt voltage = +100
    cpu pl lvcore = 1.650
    dimm voltage = 1.5
    dimm dq vrev = +0mV
    qpi pll vcore = 1.15
    ioh vcore = auto
    ioh/ich = auto
    ich vcore = 1.1
    pwm frequency = 800

    @CPSUSIE = is there anything wrong with this setting. i just want to run my system with triple channel " ENABLE "

    @MDSWISH = Yeah i think i have put them on the red slots , it make it to windows but reboot after half hour

    Note : memtest found no error if i put them on 1 , 2 ,3 slot
    memtest found error if i put them on 1 , 3 , 5 slot ( triple channel slot )

    change memory speed = xmp profile 1 to standard,
    Change memory frequency = auto  to 2:8
    Change cpu uncore frequency = x17 to 16X
    Change dimm voltage = 1.5 to 1.65
    Change these :
    tcl setting = auto
    trcd setting = auto
    trp setting = auto
     to the speeds writen on your mem, Probably 8,8,8 or 9,9,9, that will put your memory at 1528, it would be 1600 if you can work your clock to 200, but the additional Vtt and CPUV might not be worth it, you would need to check your temps using LinX to find out. Also if you get a freez, or BSOD 124 add another +50 Vtt and try again

    Set the memory up manually. 1.65 Dimm volts, 2:8 ratio, and whatever it says on the sticks for timings (8-8-8-24 example) Also,1.2 v-core might be too low for 3.8.

    It's all good, now he knows that there is a concisus to the answer, two independent people with thwe same answer.   Thats got to build confidance.

    Put 1 stick at a time in slot 1 and run Memtest 86+ to see if any stick fails, at it's rated speed, if so it's mem  RMA time, if not you could have a bad slot, and if so it would still be RMA time, ( MB ) EVGA's 24/7 tech support line is 1888-880-EVGA. also note if your CPU is not making good conection , on all pins, that can also cause memory problems as your IMC is on your CPU,
