Hi guys, I'd like to upgrade my mobo but I'm not sure what to look at. I currently have an i7-8700k, 32GB DDR4 3200MHz RAM, two GTX 1080's running in SLI. What mobo's could I look at that would have roughly the same amount of USB ports as my current mobo and support my hardware listed above?

Uuh. . . it just fixed its-self. . . I just re-put in the CMOS battery and put the new RAM in and now it recognizes 32GB of RAM. Technology is weird. :P

I'm 99% sure it's compatible. Every 16GB 3200 MHz corsair RAM is 2 DIMM supported in the QVL list. https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/LGA1151/PRIME_Z370-A/Memory_QVL.pdf I can go ahead and try manually downloading an update the BIOS.

Both RAM work in slot A1, only the old one works in B1.

This is really weird!! I put in my old RAM and now it recognizes the B1 slot!

I found the DIMM Control in the AI Control section. It says Channel A DIMM control and Channel B DIMM controls are both set to enabled.

So after doing the CMOS again and putting the two ram sticks back in A1 and B1, A1 is only being recognized in the BIOS. I can try putting one RAM stick in each slot but if the pair wasn't even working in A2 and B2 I'm not sure if using one single one in the rest will work. I enabled XMP and...

After taking the CMOS battery out for a minute, putting it back in, and having the new RAM in slots 2 and 4, the monitor does not recognize the PC.

Will performance be lower using the secondary channels? Just wondering.

It looks like the second slot of my memory is not being used despite it working for my old RAM before installing it. It looks like it's installed correctly and connected.

So my old RAM was 16GB 2400 MHz or something like that. I now installed 32GB which can run at 3200MHz. It's showing I only have 16gb but is running at 3200MHz. How can I tell if it's not detecting one of the RAM slots? In Task Manager it's showing I'm only using slots one of two.

I can set the RAM speed manually. Not sure what you mean by "Is this also with JUST the new RAM". I had 16GB, but completely switched it out for new RAM and 32GB

Ok so it looks like that worked. It had me go into bios settings. Doesn't look like it's updated the RAM though. Still showing 16GB's at 2200MHz

Just so I can be prepared while waiting to put the CMOS back in; if removing the CMOS does not work, what should I try next?

Should I take out the CMOS while the PC is plugged in but not turned on? Or completely remove power from it?
