RAM does not fit in the motherboard, but still it should fit.

So, recently i bought myself a motherboard from asus, ( https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/RAMPAGE_IV_BLACK_EDITION/), and i bought this RAM (https://www.hyperxgaming.com/us/memory/fury-ddr3). On the asus site it says that the motherboard runs DDR3 24 pin, and the ram is DDR3 24 pin, but still the little "hole" in the ram does not match up with the socket on the motherboard.

Hmm, turn the stick 180 degrees?

Have tried that...

Do you have the RAM slot clips open?

 

[bjarne022]

Yes, ofc, its the hole in the golden end on the ram stick that does not fit into the motherboards socket, i know this ram stick does not work, i am asking for one who does.

defo something wrong is the ram 100% ddr3 its not acc ddr2 or ddr4 have you any other ram

I know the ram does not fit, but the motherboard runs 24 pin DDR3 ram, as the ram is, so I am wondering if you could find a ram that actually fits into the motherboards socket.

Just look at the Memory Support list for your motherboard.

Ok, that's just not possible. Any DDR3 ram HAVE to physically fit into DDR3 slot. Unless you got SODIMM DDR3, which has 204 pins - your motherboard requires DDR3 240 pin DIMMs.

Pictures are worth 1,000 words.

DDR3 is DDR3.
Please show us a pic of this RAM not fitting.
