Hi Forum!
I Have a Question About a Asus_PRIME_A320M-K.
I Have DDR4 3000-(PC4-24000) RAM. The Mobo Isn't Booting. No Video. The Orange Light on Mobo is Flashing Real Slow...Like a Stop Light at a Hwy 4Way, in Nebraska.
I Looked on Manual, and It Says It Only Accepts DDR4 3200/2933/2666/2400. It Doesn't List 3000. :/
2933 is PC4-23466, NOT PC4-24000.

What Do I Do. This Isn't About Overclocking, Because I Still Need a Working Baseline, of 3000. Not 3200 or 2933.

Am I Screwed?

Okay, So Here's What's Going On.

I Think I Fixed It, Kinda. If Anyone Else Has the Issue.

The DDR 3000 Works, But if You Happen to Have Timing 16-18-18-38, Then It Works. Tried With Just One Stick. Now, If You Have Timing 16-18-18-36 ..It Doesn't Work. These Two OLOy DDR4 3000 Worked in Tandem on My ASRock B450 Board, but With the Asus A320M-K, They Don't. When Both in the Slots, I Get What Happened in the Original Post.

I Didn't Think Timing Was THAT Big of a Deal. I Maxed Out My Bios Upgrade to I Think 4602 Version, but Different Timed RAM, Still Don't Like It.

In Closing, the Manual Excludes 3000, Which is Weird, but Another ASUS Page Included It.

I Bought the Mobo Asus On Ebay, So I Was Panicked. So Right Now, Just Running Single Stick W/Timing @ 16-18-18-38, and It's Working.

If You Have a Asus A320M-K Board...Stay Away From DDR4 3000-(PC4-24000). Just Go With DDR4 3200 (PC4-25600)

I May Just Upgrade to Two Matching DDR4 3200 With Same Timing, and Sell the 3000s on Ebay.

Thanks for Replying!
