970 Extreme4 RAM error

   Just to add to wardog's advice, if you're trying to run those modules @ 1866 MHz, then it's an overclock no matter what AMD CPU you have. This is why you might need more CPU-NB voltage (note: not the same thing as NB voltage). Depending on your CPU and the type of memory modules you have, it might be a mild OC or a big OC. If it's mild, you shouldn't need to do much to get it stable, if it's a big OC, you might be better off setting your RAM to run on a lower clock speed. The effect of performance will be negligible in normal use and you may also be able to tighten the timings a bit to compensate for the lost MHz.

	Oops. Sorry for the late reply. I somehow missed your post. Do you still need help or you get it sorted? Either more CPU/NB voltage, or the two 16GB(8GBx2) kits you have(had?) had differering SPD profiles programmed on them.
