I recently purchased a Hyper X, while my previous RAM was an ADATA and Kingston model. After installing the Hynix, it didn’t function properly, leading me to believe there was a memory incompatibility. I then bought two Hyper X units, testing each one separately, but all failed.
That seems unusual. I assumed the upgrade would boost the RAM clock speed to 1600 MHz, but it mentions 4xDIMM and a max of 32 GB. Check your motherboard compatibility. The file you shared looks like a spec sheet.
Sometimes dirty socket pins cause issues instead of being ignored. Instead of silent failures, you might see errors and an E1 code on the PCI debug card related to RAM. To fix this, soak the pin in 99% isopropyl alcohol, cover it, and let it sit for a day. This method has helped prevent problems on several boards.
I don’t have 99% alcohol on hand, but I’m willing to give it a shot if I can find one.
You might want to test half of the available slots. Use two pairs and then the remaining two. If a single pair prevents the system from starting, that could be the issue.
Yes, that matches my previous configuration. I have two sets of the assorted, two sets of hyper-x, one each of the other types, and I've also tested the remaining slots. It seems there might be an issue with the RAM cap.
