Woops I forgot to look at the mobo you have. Someone else will have to give you the process for the x79 DARK

B3 is Memory training according to the Dark user manual. Are you setting your ram speed, timings, and voltages manually? If not, try setting everything to the Mfg'r specs printed on the sticker on your ram sticks. If that doesn't help, up your VCCIO voltage from auto to 1.20v. Let us know how that works out.

Yes, I've seen that message everytime I've flashed a new BIOS Rev and haven't had any issue's. What is the memory speed your sticks are rated for & what speed are you trying to run them at?

The difference (1867) is from slightly (i.e. not exactly on freq; say 0.2 Hertz) different PCIe buss frequency.

Ok. That's fine. Go to the Memory page in your BIOS. Look at your "Command Rate". If it's on Auto and shows 1t or 1N, change it manually to 2t or 2N or just 2. See if that takes care of it. If that doesn't work, leave all your timings & voltage as is, but change mem speed to 1600 just to see if that works. If that still doesn't work, try pulling out 4 sticks of your ram. Only leave 4 sticks in using slots 1,3,5, & 7. Set your mem speed, timings, & voltage back to spec.

hi , "Command Rate" was already on 2 I try speed 1600 but it didn't work so, I remove out 4 stick and leave 4 sticks it work perfectly, but as soon as I reinstall the 4 sticks back and try to restart from windows with 8 stick of RAM the problem come back what should I do ?

Ok. We're zeroing in now I hope...  Put all the ram sticks back in. Go to memory page in BIOS. Set speed to 1867 and timings to 9,11,9,29, and command rate 2. If your ram voltage spec is 1.50v, set them manually to 1.55v. Make sure your VCCIO voltage is set at 1.20v. Let's see if that works out. You have to remember, if you bought 2 memory kits like 4 sticks at 4GB each and put them together, sometimes they'll work together, sometimes not. But try the above settings and we'll try making them all work.

Ok. Give this a try. Set your mem timings to 10,11,10,32, CR2. If that doesn't work, set your Dimm voltage to 1.58v, and VCCIO to 1.22v. Can I ask why you want so much ram? Do you do a lot of video editing or encoding?

I tried what you suggested, but it's the same problem
I run windows memory diagnostic test for the 8 sticks no error found
why I want all that memory cause I'm studying computer science and engineering and also I already buy them so way not using them

Most users would never use even half that. But I do understand that since you already have it, why not install it. As far as them all not working together, I'm out of idea's. Seems the 2 kits combined won't play nice...

I had one other thought. You didn't mention any CPU OC'ing, so I assume your Vcore is on "Auto". Try setting it manually to 1.25v - 1.28v. Maybe auto is just a bit to low for having all Dimm slots populated.

hi,
for the last two day's I was trying to find what cause the problem .
I have tried everything.
I have two sets of memory so I thought they ware the problem . so, I start test them. I remove the first set and try the second one alone it works perfectly then I remove this set and try the other one it works perfectly also . After that I mix them up by taking two sticks from the first set and two sticks from the second set and it works also perfectly . so, there is nothing wrong with the RAM sticks . I think the problem cause is the motherboard because as soon as I start to add the fifth RAM stick the problem start
so please help me
thank you

Just to throw it out there, you are not alone. I have the same issue as you and I've got extremely similar hardware.
X79 Dark
Intel 4930K (stock at the moment)
Corsair Dominator (1866 9-10-9-27) (2x 32GB kits)
I've tried everything you have, but this same issue has plagued me for the last month through all the BIOS revisions we've seen so far.

so, did you talk to the customer support ? if you did what did they say ? did you ask for replacement ?

Try resetting everything and then setting up all the timings, freq, etc. then under Advanced>North Bridge>DRAM RAPL BWLIMIT 16?

Possibly a good point (catch). By default, that setting should be "disabled"... I say possibly as I'm not 100% on what it actually does, but it looks like it could be relevant by what it says here.
