Problem with DRAM on new devices
Problem with DRAM on new devices
Either the QVL or the board seems to be defective. It’s unclear if both RAM sticks are faulty.
It would be perfect if someone here enjoyed PCs. I might have to admit and visit a nearby shop. I don’t want to wait another couple of weeks just to fix it.
Further investigation reveals these vengeance sticks were likely a royal PIA. It seems they're funded through a slush fund of ICs. My current model is V4.34 versus the 4.32 listed by asrock. It would make more sense with a later version. It appears they might not be backward compatible. I plan to add RGB on a G Skill to test if it's just a Corsair limitation. I didn't realize there were such restrictions in the approved parts.
Memory check passed successfully after properly clearing CMOS. One stick was detected, and I rearranged it several times before confirming everything was in place. It appears to be functioning correctly. I’ll proceed with installing the SSD and test stability after the OS loads.
