Hey all I've got the following two sticks:

stick of 256 Corsair Platinum Series CMX256A-3200LLPT
stick of 256 Corsair Platinum Series CMX256A-3200CP2PT

The top one has bad sectors and falls over after about 2 min on mem test (booted from disk) and the bottom stick is fine.

The two sticks together run in dual ch so i ran mem test on the both sticks at the same time, mem test has now been running for 11h without any errors I'm in work now and I'd left mem test running over night and just left it running while i'm at work.

My question is why has'nt the mem produced any errors yet knowing that the top stick def has errors.

Here are the SPD timings:

3200LLPT - 2 2 2 6 @ 200Mhz

3200CP2PT - 2 3 3 7 @ 116Mhz
- 2.5 3 3 8 @ 200Mhz

Any suggestions would be great

Cheers
Poggy

The pair of sticks will be running at the slacker timings of the second stick, meaning the the top stick has an easier job and can keep up, without producing errors.

If you manually set the timings 2.5 3 3 8 @ 200MHz, and run the topstick on it's own it should now be running with out errors. :)
