ASUS Maximus viii ranger ram issues

[Sean_72]

so put together my rig, and keep get the 1 continuous beep followed by four beeps, indicating hardware component failure. unplugged everything and reinstalled it, same thing. Called ASUS and the sayd from what the can tell is the my ram wasn't compatible. i have the GSKILL ripsaws V 2x8gb(16gb) (f4-2400c15d-16vr). in the mobo manual it does not have this part number under its compatible RAM. But under PCpartpicker the ram is compatible. i was wondering if it is or isn't, and to see if i may have another problem instead of just waiting 3 days for the new sticks to come in

Try buying a 3 pin to molex adapter and connecting the pump to the power supply.

i will be trying this but right now is priority to get this up and running fine then i will get that to install the better cooler

Tried a different PSU?

OP's system works with the stock cooler but refuzes to boot and spewes out all sorts of error codes when he connects his AIO cooler to both the CPU header and pump header, so i don't htink it;s teh PSU. You had/have such a setup if i remember correctly, right? Have you ever heard of such issues?

Wondering if coolers mounting plate or the installed mobo may be shorting on case - or if PSU is marginal and Cooler shorting not getting full power for pump, also might be the thermal compound and the the CPU overheats and shuts down

well it has been solved i guess. thanks for all the help. my system is fully installed (except cpu cooler). as for what i did, well pretty much 8 hours of unplugging and reinstalling everything. once i bare backed the system and was able to update bios, i installed just the gpu. booted up system several time until if finally took the graphics card and loaded bios. then i installed hard drive which has windows on it. then changed the boot sequence. once everything updated i installed the other stick of ram, the ssd, installed all the drivers for the gpu, and mono and no she works like a champ. ( i was afraid to install everything right away as soon as i got windows to load, so i did it one at a time and made sure the mobo took it)
