Hello, I recently purchased two RAM kits (Team Group T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4 3200Mhz PC4-25600 64GB 2x32GB CL16). My goal was to install 128 GB, which is the maximum supported by my motherboard (MSI Z490-A-PRO). However, I encountered issues—I couldn't get it to work. I could only use a single stick of 32 GB at most before Windows would fail. When I tried all the kits together, they all functioned properly, but combining more than one didn’t help. I’ve tried several fixes: updating BIOS, adjusting frequencies, boosting main timings, tweaking VDDR and VCCSA voltages toward 1.5 and 1.4, clearing CMOS, and randomly testing different settings. Still no success. I’m wondering if there’s another approach I should try, even though I have an i7 10700K and an RTX 2070.

Did you purchase RAM from the QVL on the motherboard? If yes, compatibility might be an issue.

I’m not sure where to look for it.

Check the memory support page for the Z490-A PRO model.

Check the provided link, choose the compatibility option on the left, and press the "Memory by 10th gen and other CPU" button. It should have helped me.

Appreciate the reminder, it seems that was overlooked.
