Hello everyone!

I’m working on a new setup, and recently I bought a GA-X99-SOC Champion motherboard.
For the memory, I bought C16 DDR4 DRAM 3200 MHz 16 GB (2x8GB) Vengeance® LPX (CMK16GX4M2B3200C16), and now, after put everything together, the system does not boot up, and the beep code is indicating memory issues.

Is this memory compatible with the motherboard? At the corsair website I can see SPD speed and tested speed, both indicating different values. The Gigabyte website says that it supports 3200, but the printed manual says it goes until 2133MHz.

I would appreciate if someone could help me.
Tks.
 
Solution
What CPU? Do you have the latest BIOS? Have you put the stick is the suggested slots, per the manual? They should default to 2133 and run, but the BIOS will prob need to be up to date


The CPU is an Intel i7 5820K. I tryied to stick the memories like the manual says: 2nd and 4th slots if two, and only 2nd if one, and all other possible variations, but it beeps continuously.

I guess I have the last BIOS, since I bought mobo two weeks ago.
 
What does that mean (from Gigabyte website):

4 x DDR4 DIMM sockets supporting up to 64 GB of system memory
* Due to a Windows 32-bit operating system limitation, when more than 4 GB of physical memory is installed, the actual memory size displayed will be less than the size of the physical memory installed.
4 channel memory architecture
Support for DDR4 3400(O.C.)* / 3333(O.C.) / 3200(O.C.) / 3000(O.C.) / 2800(O.C.) / 2666(O.C.) / 2400(O.C.) / 2133 MHz memory modules
Support for non-ECC memory modules
Support for Extreme Memory Profile (XMP) memory modules
Support for RDIMM 1Rx8 memory modules (operates in non-ECC mode)
* Note : For DDR4 XMP 3400MHz, please update BIOS to the latest version.
** Please refer "Memory Support List" for more information.
 
Found the mistake.

Despite the manual says to stick the memories in slot 2 and 4, the corret position is 1 and 3. Bu it only worked after I realize that I dind't have plug the graphicard's power cable.
