Hello guys, 😉
I am new to this forum. I read a lot of good stuff here and I did manage to solve lot of my problems. But, now I have silly problem I could not solve. I wanted to make my first PC Battle-station. I bought ASUS Z390-E gaming mobo and Kingston Predator 3200 MHz RBG 2x16Gb kit HX432C16PB3AK2/32.
Before buying I checked manual for memory compatibility. At first, I tried to install memories in suggested memory slots, like I found in pdf manual in slots B2 and A2 and that did not worked. Then I put 2x16GB in slots A1 and A2 and that worked fine. After that I installed windows 10 pro with uefi bios and everything is working fine.
Month after that I bought one more kit to upgrade my machine to 64 Gb of total memory. But there is where the problem started. I put all 4 modules in all 4 slots, they all started to shine nice RBG patterns, but after few reset on starting the computer, yellow LED on mobo for memory started to lit.
I put new 2x16Gb in A1 and A2 and worked fine. Then I put old 2x16 Gb in B1 and B2 and then I got yellow light again. I tried all combinations, new and old memories in A1 and in A2 everything works. But when I put one module in B1 or B2 or in both B1 and B2 I got yellow light again.
I did not changed anything in my bios. It is all on default values. I am not an overclocking kind of guy so I want to keep all to run smoothly. Only thing I did is to update bios to latest version, but that did not helped.
I am out of ideas.
Is it possible that mobo can handle 64GB of regular memory but only 32GB of RGB memory?
Does RGB feature limits capacity?
Instructions for my mobo says it can uses 64GB with 4x16GB non-RGB, but for RGB modules, all combinations are limited to 32 GB (2x16, 4x8 GB). Or maybe there is not enough power to memory? That's what I concluded... And finaly I found on Crucial site that all memory combinations for rgb memory https://www.crucial.com/products/gaming-memory are kits of two. Even 64GB is kit of two, not kit of 4. Anyone has experience with this?
