Hi,
Posted a question on here about new RAM not posting but I seem to have narrowed down the issue
MOBO - ASROCK Pro4 Z170
CPU - I5-6600k
RAM
New - Gammix D10 (2x8gb) 3200mhz 16-20-20-38
Old - Gskill Ripjaw (2x4gb) 3200mhz 16-16-16-36
The issue is
- New RAM will not POST with default UEFI settings
- New RAM will post if set to 2133 or 2400 profile, but will not POST with the 2666 or 3200 (XMP profile) settings
- If I put a stick of my old ram in and mix, my system will always POST (generally with default UEFI settings) and the new ram will also show on the system
Things ive tried
- New ram in all different slots (single and dual)
- Different profiles 2133 2400 2666 3200 (XMP 1 profile)
My question
- Is this a RAM issue? Compatibility issue? I can get the new RAM to work, but the problem is it will only run to 2666 and more importantly if anything ever goes wrong with my system it will not post with default UEFI settings.
Do I send the new RAM back and ask them to send me another kit, or do i sent it back and get my money back and buy some new ram?
