It wasnt the timings....
I RMA'ed my motherboard a week ago, got it back and the problem still persists.
Even tried setting the timing down from 1600mhz to 1333mhz for 12 gigs. Didnt work, went back down to 8 gigs this morning.
Now Im going to try 6 gigs at 1600mhz, it should work, if not Im...
Yea I think the best thing for the performance of the card would be to RMA, although raising the clock values has fixed the issue there shouldn't be such an issue in the first place. Overclocking the 2d settings could as well cause problems in the future and as well degrading performance. RMA time.

I have been having an artifact issue with my graphics card. When I first installed the card I didnt use the disc, I installed the latest drivers online...
DUH! Forgot to manually set the ram timings.......... got all the help I needed from the asus support website. Set the volts and timings, it should be good to go now.
Well.....woke up this morning to try and check....was hopeful it was gonna say 12GB.....NOPE.
Went back down to 6GB, must be a faulty motherboard, RMA time :(
Reseated the motherboard, CPU, and as well used the stock i7 fan instead of the bulky super cooler one. Also reseated the ram again. I physically removed the motherboard from the pc and put it back in.
So far so good, says 12GB of memory. Bios did a cool little memtest saying the memory was...
Well I've tried losening the CPU heatsink, Upping the memory voltage as well......Started the comp up today it went back down to 6GB......shutdown the system....wiggled the memory and now it says its back up to 12GB.
Im worried about gaming because it probably wont utilize all the memory...
Changing the voltage didn't help, it went back down from 12GB to 10GB. It will probably go back down to 8GB again after restart......Any suggestions of how to fix this annoying issue? And since this is happening I doubt my system is even utilizing the memory....
Im trying to losen the CPU...
Changing the voltage worked, I however Im new to this whole overclocking thing. Whats a good voltage to OC the memory to? Right now its at 1.20000 V. Also I'm planning on Overclocking my CPU eventually.
with F3-12800CL9T-6GBNQ (9-9-9-24) occupied in 3 slots or in one, always fails to post. Red DIMM light is on. Checked the motherboard manual and this memory is not on the qualified vendors list (most are7-7-7-10) (though on Newegg G.skill said it would). Do I need different RAM? thanks
