I'll give that a shot though - the ram is in a snap packaging and should be easy enough to return. (but NCIX Return policy is balls sometimes)
do you think I should just exchange for the same set, or should I go with something else completely?

What I usually do is to *borrow* a set of different brand with lower CAS rating or higher speed rating from my friend to test.
usually mobo has problem with ram because the ram in question can't run at default setting correctly. Performance ram OTOH tend to have more tolerance toward different settings.
I'm mainly pointing to ram because I have very rarely come across a faulty mobo. And if a mobo is to have problem, it wouldn't work in any setting.
