Alright, so, i went for a test boot, before putting everything in my pc tower, and now i got q code 53. After researching, i read that it was a memory issue. I reseated everything, changed the order, updated bios, and nothing new happened. I checked the
manual, and i figured it wasn't compatible with my ram.

My RAM: F3-12800CLD-8GBSR
Required RAM: F3-12800CLD-8GBSR2

Does that '2' really matter at the end? I seriously dont want to waste another $50. I already updated the bios if that means
something. So, can someone give me a hint or something? Thanks!

Specs:
i5 4670k
Cooler Master Seidon 120xl
Arctic Silver 5
Maximus VI Hero
G. Skill Sniper F3-12800CLD-8GBSR (2x4 GB)
HDD's: (I didnt even install, shouldnt matter).
Video Card: Sapphire r9 280x Dual-x
Rosewill hive 650w

Also: I posted this in motherboards section too, because it has to do with the motherboard AND RAM. Delete this thread if you want to.

As to the 2 on the end of the one model number - that just indicates those Snipers are low voltage - it's a 1.25 set - your set should be fine - do you have the sticks in slots 1-3 if so try in 2-4 or in 2-4, try 1-3, if still no joy you may have a bad sticks or a problem with mobo or CPU - do you have a pair of different sticks you can try? Can try each single stick by itself in slot 1 - if 1 works and not the other then that might be a bad stick
