The Old Hyper X RAM isn't suitable for the new Hyper X Memory RAM.
Hello good day, I'm in a pickle right now as the item that I have ordered seem to be an entirely different model but the same type of DDR4 ram from Kingston. Here is the image of the item I bought, it is the same Kingston HyperX Fury DDR4 4gb 2400MHZ which is on the left. The left one is the new model while the right is the one I owned which was an older model bought around 2017. I owned four of the old model which was on the right, the 4th one broke so I tried getting a new one. They gave me the one at the right which looks different. It WORKS by the way but for some reason. It is the only RAM detected by the entire system. No matter where I plug that RAM it only detects 1 ram which is the new one. It ignored the rest of the three rams I already owned. Things I tried: Set the bios settings to default auto.(It boots but still detects only 1 ram, the new one.) Tried cleaning all the dim and other three rams. (Nothing happened.) Tried to also updating my bios(Made it worst, it is the same but at least all four rams are detected in bios but no fixes still 4gb.) Tried switching from new ram to all the DIM slots, nothing changed. Tried using other motherboards, it still the same, no fix Also tried CMOS restart with jumper. No fix Last resort.... I reformat my entire PC. It got worst as now it only detects the new ram and ignore the other 3 rams, BUT they are detected at bios that all slots are in use. My last idea is that I get another one of the new ram so I have 2 new models, and 2 old ones. If I place the new one at the slot A1 and A2 for dual channel and the rest of the old ones at B1 and B2. Will this work? Please help me Covid-19 virus is making my life more difficult as I can't do work well. NOTE: The old ram btw are still Kingston HyperX Fury 4gb 2400MHZ and all of them are CL-15 as I thoroughly checked. I don't know why the old model doesn't pair with the old one despite them same clock speed , same model and same frequency. https://ibb.co/c8XcwyQ
All three are recognized and functioning, though I avoid the third option because it may cause instability. From my experience, it should boot, but there could be frequent restarts, loops, and occasional crashes. Currently, I’m using two RAM modules. I’m unsure why the latest model isn’t working, considering brand, clock speed, and size match. Still, we’re here.
Try one old stick and the new one. What CPU do you have? Ensure there are no damaged memory channels or bent pins.
I've got a Ryzen 5 2600 and a new MSI b450 mortar. Both are brand new so no dust yet, but I ran a small air blast to be sure it's clean. I also cleaned the RAM with an eraser and alcohol using a cotton swab. I've tried mixing one old stick with one new one, but the system picks up the new one and ignores the old one. It still shows up in the BIOS, and I've placed it in Slot B1 and B2 without any change. All RAM is set to Auto, but the results are the same. Any suggestions?
Only because main schedules match doesn't guarantee everything is identical. Sub-schedules may vary and lead to issues. Even if the brand on the heat spreader matches and the model numbers align, the actual chips inside could differ in type, manufacturer, or similarity. A few years ago I purchased two DDR3 modules for an upgrade. Both were from the same brand and model, but one was dual-rank and the other single-rank. They functioned well together.
