[SOLVED] Corsair Ram Compatible with motherboard?

[KurtizZ]

Hi all!

I'm currently building a pc for a friend, I built it all up and then proceeded to boot it, however it did not reach the bios screen. I rebuilt it uncaged, outside the case and still did not manage to get it to boot. I tried a different monitor, monitor cable and still nothing. I have checked compatibility and no issues stood out, however on MSI's official page the mobo did not have support for the ram. I crossed checked with pcpartpicker and a few other sites and all of them said that it was compatible.

The parts are as listed.
--------------------------------------

Motherboard: mag b365m mortar

CPU: intel i7 9700

Ram: Corsair 16gb 2x8GB vengeance pro RGB 3600mghz. (CMW16GX4M2C3600C18)

GPU: Gigabyte 2070 8gb.

--------------------------------------

I have tried a single ram stick in each slot, nada.
Tried it without the GPU, using mobo HDMI, again nothing.
The motherboards EZLED debugger doesn't show any issues either.

my suspicion lies with the ram because of that compatibility issue, however and please correct me if I'm wrong but I always thought that Ram adjusts it's clock speeds to be compatible with motherboards that don't support its speed.

anyone have any thoughts on what could be the problem please let us know!

There are no CMW16GX4M2C3600C18 RAM kits listed on the MB QVL so they have not been tested.
Your MB and CPU officially supports up to 2666MHz so return the kits you have and choose a kit that have been tested.

Thought as much, thanks for the reply! I'll go do that ASAP
