Aorus z370 gaming 5

Got a new build with this motherboard and 8700k.

Got 2 sticks of 8gb Corsair 4166.

The PC only runs with the sticks on the 2 slots closer to the cpu, never om the other 2, so np dual channel possible.

Tried Ballisticx 2400 ram and the behavior is the same. Got another 2 and it wont run, so 4 sticks the system wont run or any stick on the 2 right slots wont run.

Updated bios and nothing changed.

It seems to be slot related, any guesses?

Try removing the CPU and post here a picture of the CPU socket. I suspect a bent pin issue. Try firstly loosening a bit the CPU cooler.

Man, spot on!!!! Took the cpu of and had to look really close but there was a couple pins misaligned. Dont even know how that happened, but i used a blade to put it back and just like magic dual channel works like a charm! Thank you, you the man!
