1866mhz corsair vengance is it compatible with a H55M-UD2H (Socket 1156)

[spartanhorde]

I just bought 16 gig 1866 MHz corsair vengeance ram and I cant get it to work my mother board is a H55M-UD2H (Socket 1156) and my cpu is Intel Core i3 540 is this ram even compatible with my mother board the ram is 4 4 gig sticks my power supply is a corsair cx600 my graphics card is a gtx 970 incase im pulling to much power from the power supply thnx

This is the memory specs for your CPU, it doesn't support quad-channel.
Try using only 2 sticks on seperate channels.

Note (Note 1) Due to Windows 32-bit operating system limitation, when more than 4 GB of physical memory is installed, the actual memory size displayed will be less than 4 GB.

(Note 2) To use the onboard D-Sub, DVI-D, HDMI, and DisplayPort ports, you must install an Intel CPU with integrated graphics.

(Note 3) The DVI-D port does not support D-Sub connection by adapter.

(Note 4) You can use only one of the onboard digital graphics ports (e.g. DisplayPort, HDMI, and DVI-D) for output when in the BIOS Setup program or when during the POST screens.

(Note 5) For optimum performance, if only one PCI Express graphics card is to be installed, be sure to install it in the PCIEX16 slot.

(Note 6) The PCIEX16 slot operates at up to x4 mode when ATI CrossFireX™ is enabled.

(Note 7) Whether the CPU/system fan speed control function is supported will depend on the CPU/system cooler you install.

(Note 8) Available functions in EasyTune may differ by motherboard model.





some one said if I put an i5 in it that might fix it is this true ?

 

[lakimens]

Yes, it might,but I am not sure it will.
Your CPU sure doesn't posses the specs for that memory, but I think it should just underclock the memory and be fine.

The CPU can take 4 sticks of 4GB Yes, we aren't talking quad channel here - having four slots has nothing to do with Quad channel. You have a dual channel 1156 mobo - each channel can use 2 slots. That out of the way, the big problem here is the 1156 is an older mobo made when DRAM was made using low density memory ICs (chips), todays DDR3, going back to about the start of 2011 is made with high density memory ICs which aren't compatible with your mobo. There have been instances of people reporting using the newer high density DRAM on 1156, but few and far between. You could check for a BIOS update and then try, starting with 1 stick at a time, but don't get your hopes up. I'd look for the GSkill NT series of value DRAM

thnx for all the sound advice it seems I need a new cpu and mobo after speaking to ocuk where I got the system they said its overclocked and changing the ram will cause it to lose its overclock they recommended just leaving it as it is for overclock sake I told them the games I play now need the extra ram plus I cant upgrade to windows 10 with just 4 gig of ram so can any one recommend what mobo and cpu will be compatible with the ram I am now stuck with they gave me a recomendatin but I think thers better one out ther for a better price thnx again for all ya help

No worries 😉
