Did you check the users manual to see WHICH slots to put the two sticks into?
Thanks for helping. No. I don't have a manual and I didn't look it up. I didn't think it would matter, There are 4 slots. Board states max. 32 GB memory. 32/4 =8. I thought I'd be fine with 2 8Gb sticks. I'm thinking it's something to do with the processor allowing max memory, but I just don't know. Board allows overclocking and access to maximum cores so I'm thinking you may need a certain level of processor to access full 32Gb memory. Again, I just don't know.
