You are using two kits of the G.SKILL GSkill F4-2400C15D-16GVR memory, correct? If so, they are considered two unmatched kits, since they are sold separately. This memory, being 8GB DIMMs, is Double Sided (DS) memory, memory chips on both sides of the circuit board. That is shown in the Memory Support List. From the Memory Support List: Note3: For 2pcs (DS), please use A1 and B1 slot. So the A1 and B1 slots are the correct ones to use with two DIMMs of this memory. We can find the G.SKILL F4-2400C15Q-32GVR memory kit in the support list, which is the four DIMM kit of this memory. G.SKILL also includes this memory in their QVL list for your board. But the apparent problem is, you are using two 16GVR kits that are not matched. Mixing kits like this will be a gamble if they work together. For example, the two kits may be using different memory chips, or have different XMP profiles. What you can try is before putting all four DIMMs in the board, set the VCCSA and VCCIO voltages a bit higher than they are now. But the optimal VCCSA voltage may actually be higher or lower, it must be tuned for some memory. If both kits work in the A1 and B1 slots individually, but fail when used together, it most likely is the unmatched kits that is the cause. |
Awww man I'm such a dumb dumb... I haven't put a computer together for years and did this as an oversight. I think I will just return the kit and get a 32 comptabile one from the list.
I probably mixed all four as I was swapping in and out the ram modules, but now I know to make sure I bundle them properly for the return.
Thanks , appreciate the swift response!
PS Is there anyone on the recommended list that you guys recommend for this board?
