My build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/c6Fp4s (Only paid half that lol) I just received these components today. While examining my CPU, a few pins were bent. Nevertheless, I managed to use a plastic tool to realign them, allowing the CPU to fit into the socket. I kept installing the remaining parts, hoping everything would function properly. It didn't work on the first boot. I tried multiple times. Then I removed one RAM stick and it booted! Successfully entered the BIOS. I tried both sticks again, but it still didn't work. Swapping the sticks resolved the issue. When only one stick is present, it works. Placing both gives the DRAM + CPU LED on the motherboard. Any advice would be appreciated! Landon

You're asking about the RAM placement on your system. Specifically, you want to know if it's installed in slot A2 or B2.

I've placed both slots 2 and 4 active. I also experimented with slots 1 and 3. When only one button is selected, I chose slot 1.

It functions properly with just the single stick in slot 1 or 2.

Updated info: Placed RAM in slots A1 and A2, boots fine with both. BIOS reads 32GB 2133, no XMP enabled. Any feedback?

I don't understand, but verify if it works with dual channel. I believe cpuz should display that information, like an example.
