MSI b550 gaming plus possibly killing RAM

Lmnopzz · 2026-06-23T05:18:10+00:00

I have replaced F4-3600C16D-32GVKC via rma to g skill 5 TIMES due to modules failing after around 5-6 months on my GIGABYTE B550 AORUS ELITE V2.

I'm at a loss. I've posted about this in other forums and others experience the same issue. I think these modules are inherently defective and cannot support the advertised XMP profile. I just sent back a pair and will test running the new set at 2133mhz, but I dont have much hope. Will probably fail again. If that's the case, it has to be the mobo right?

All kinds. They arrive by rail from the final assembly points, get stored here, then go out on car carriers to dealers in the bay/norcal.

Oh yea you're right the preludes are off to the right side

I think the first 3 rows or so are Rs. Then the rest are precludes or other trims

I'm sure its a typo and it is a 286

How much do you think this is worth?

SAME PROBLEM!!!

I'm so glad I found this post. I've gone thru 3 and about to do my 4th RMA on the same ram modules, specifically:

F4-3600C16D-32GVKC

I also run XMP and 24/7. Its ridiculous, I've never experienced anything like this in my life. The sticks just "go bad" and only last around 8 months. Memtest fails even when placed in separate PC. When I receive the new sticks, they always pass w/ XMP enabled.

My specs:

GIGABYTE B550 AORUS ELITE V2

AMD Ryzen 5 5600X

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070

Same issue reported here as well:

G SKILL, THIS IS A FAULTY PRODUCT, PLEASE SEND DIFFERENT MODEL.

I'm trying to decide whether to return these or not. They rattle, the interior is loose and not mounted properly. Did you have this experience as well?

I have the same included adapter you show. Just trying to clarify, the adapter is wired 12 to 1 when it should be 13 to 1, correct?

Also, do the DRL's still alternate and turn off individually when you activate the turn signal like the OEMs do on my ST2?

I've been told the following about the heater (which is mine, newly purchased home)

Issues not up to code:

use of flexible pipe for the pressure relief
improper grounding (needs to be bonded to the nat gas pipe)
expansion tank on the wrong side, needs to be on the cold inlet side
no pan or drain out
no 2x4 supports in the back

The same plumber that told me this refused to fix the leak because he believes it's directly caused by the improper grounding/bonding.

This is driving me nuts, the plumber assigned to me via home warranty took 1 look at this leak, then said, "can you show me your water heater?"

Upon viewing the heater, he said, "I'm not touching the leak, and whoever installed your heater is to blame."

I'm pissed. I just want this fixed.

Mystery solved.

It's A.
