Hi, I recently built a new PC and I currently am using 32GB of ram (8 sticks with 4GB each) that are sitting in my X99 MSI Godlike motherboard. The RAM is LED and all of the ram sticks on the left side of my CPU are blinking while the ones on the right are not. I've tried different combinations which still don't help. When I replace one stick that's blinking with one thats not blinking the one that was blinking stops there for there's probably nothing wrong with the RAM. The RAM I use is called: "KM4C8GX4N-2666 RED DDR4 Klevv Cras Red Creative Evolution"
I tried taking out the RAM and reinstalling it which didn't work and one thing I found strange was that when I took out half of the RAM (leaving 2 sticks on each side of the CPU) they stopped blinking... I find this very strange since I know a guy that has the exact same RAM as me and the exact same motherboard as me and his RAM isn't blinking. Please help. Thanks :)

So, your ram has the LED lights. I thought the MOBO had like a warning light or someting... But its the RAM LED effects.

Your MOBO can take a 4 pin or 8 pin power, do you have the 8 pin hooked up?

Are you having any other problems with the ram? Computer detecting all 32GB? any BSOD?
 


The RAM doesn't have effects and it shouldn't be blinking just shining. Theres nothing warning me about the RAM blinking but I've had an issue before in which half of my RAM stopped working for some reason but I changed the clockspeed and now it works fine. I have connected an 8 PIN cable for my CPU into my motherboard but do I have to enable it in the MOBO? If so please tell me how to do that, thanks :)

 


Uhm my bad I meant the RAM is working fine and now I have 32 GB but its still blinking.. Sorry I was unclear when I said that it worked fine.
