Thanks, Larry. Indeed only changing the command rate to 1T caused a failure
in these sticks. I don't know if I got a bad batch, or if it is indicative
of all Kingston HyperX, but I'm not planning to find out. These are going
back to where they came from, and a different brand showing up in their
place.
