Hello, I am getting older, my eyes are not working so good, and I am on a cell phone, and easily confused lol,so I will keep this short.
I accidentally bought incompatible RAM (it works but caused BSOD loop after using XMP for a week) the RAM I bought is Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB DDR4 3600 MHz.
The motherboard is a Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Pro Wifi LGA 1151.
After getting the BSOD loop I took it to a shop and they said the beeps and LEDs etc indicated mobo and possible CPU issues, so I RMAd the mobo and CPU.
Let's back track a bit, During the build and after the BSOD I became sick with Covid, developed pneumonia, which was serious (I have COPD but don't need supplemental oxygen yet) and spent time in the ICU and it was pretty hairy but pulled through, but that contributed to my confusion and it taking so long to find out about that mobo and RAM issues/QVL etc.
.After much research now I discovered the QVL, but am confused about it, so please bear with me.
In the QVL there is a density column which says 4, 16, 32GB, but in the Model Number column on the lines where the Density is 32 GB there is never actually 32 GB for Corsair anyway, usually 64-128 GB.
For the Corsair RAM the actually amount of MHz is listed in the Model Number.
But, ignoring the density column and looking at Model Numbers I found Model number:CMD32GX4M2C3200C16
Corsair Dominator Platinum 32GB, 2x16GB, DDR4 3200MHz.
Would that be compatible?
If not can someone please help me figure out what brand is, and as there is some things I do that run so much better with 32GB I'd like 32GB of RAM.
Had I not been so sick during the ordering and building process and then stuck in ICU and then discovering this I would have gotten something else.
With nerve damage it took me an hour to type this on my cellphone having to retype every other word, etc...
Also, if I cannot reach the 3200MHz through the XMP can I go down to 3000MHz, etc until I do get it to work, or at the very least disable XMP and get the the native 2100 or 2400 or 2600 MHz or whatever it may be?
It is too late now, but tears my hide that I might have been able to simply disable XMP and boot up, but in 11 years I have never once had tom RMA a single piece of hardware to Newegg, so I might have very well had a faulty mobo, CPU, or both.
Thank you.
