Corsair's retribution unfolds in a gripping tale.
Hey, I see the issue. You managed to insert the Corsair RAM into the black slot, but it’s not fitting into the grey slots (A2 and B2) you expect. Could be a mismatch in slot type or a compatibility problem. Double-check the RAM’s specifications and ensure it matches your motherboard’s requirements. If needed, try using a different slot or consult the manufacturer for confirmation.
You probably already have additional RAM slots available. Check the small tab on either side or both sides of the DIMM slot. Also, align the notch properly. A common error is purchasing DDR3 RAM for a DDR4 system—it's easy to overlook, but it can happen. Double-check your RAM type before proceeding.
It looks like a lot of effort is needed, but maintain consistent pressure on both sides until you notice two clicks. If the pieces fit into the black slots, place them there.
the sole reason for moving them is that the docp mode isn't functioning, likely due to incorrect slot placement that the MB suggests
I started with one in and tried adjusting the memory settings in the BIOS, but then I got a new stick and it stopped working completely.
It would be best to retain both sticks in A1 and B1. I’m unsure why they aren’t working yet. Someone else might be able to assist, though it’s unclear if the problem lies with your hardware or my understanding. It’s suggested that the sticks should be paired together in the same box, which should still allow booting. Have you adjusted any RAM settings before adding the second stick?
