Got some ram that was on the AVL and..... performed worse than the Corsair RAM. Going to test one more kit and reach out to asus support (the timings in the kit didn't actually match the AVL and didn't help). Hoping they'll give me some support with the other AVL kit, I'm starting to suspect the memory controller isn't working right, either a power delivery issue or something.Well, got my support answer from ASUS which was "not on the AVL so can't help". Guess I'll stop at Memex on the way home and get some ram for testing.
Pretty lousy response, not even a "we can't support, but would recommend trying X". I know Asus' support has had a reputation for declining over the last 5-10 years so I'm not shocked.
