Hi. I recently bought 2x4GB sticks of G.Skill Ripjaws RAM but when I plug it in it won't work. I have 4 RAM slots, 2 are filled with other RAM (The generic stuff that comes with an ASUS CM1855-CA003S Computer AMD FX-8120, 10GB RAM Eight-Core CPU. I've tried plugging it in with the other RAM and without the other RAM but it doesn't work. Is it compatable with my motherboard. If it is an I have to fool around with the timings or whatever, can you tell me, in great detail, how to do it? Also, would I be able to keep the other 2 sticks of DDR3-1600 MHz. Also, when I go into system it says that I have 10.0 GB of RAM but only 5.xx GB is usable. Is there any way to diagnose what's going on and how to fix it? I would greatly appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.
