Your RAM isn't fitting.
I'm setting up a new PC for the first time and facing issues with the RAM not fitting properly. The motherboard I'm using is the Rog Strix X670e-E gaming Wi-Fi, and my RAM is an AMD Expo Trident Z5 Neo RBG 6000 DDR5. Could you assist me?
Doesn't match the orientation of the DIMM in either direction? Please share a picture of a DIMM placed directly in the slot. Also, can you provide details about the technical label on one of your DIMMs? (Make sure we’re not swapping DDR4 for DDR5.)
DDR5 demands significant force to install, you’ll notice a distinct click. Apply pressure on each side using your thumbs (it may need considerable effort). Verify that the slot in the motherboard aligns properly with the socket.
According to page 46, yes. It seems you may need to apply some pressure, but they simply go straight through.
It's clear the DDR5 installation put a lot of strain on the board, causing noticeable flexing.
