THIS IS SOLVE - SEE EDIT BELOW

Hi everyone,

I just bought a new pc, built it together myself.

Parts List:

MB - NZXT N7 B650E
GPU - GIGABYTE RTX 4090 Aorus
CPU - Ryzen 7 7800
RAM - 2x32gb Silicon Power Zenith 6000mhz
PSU - 1000W be quiet!

All mentioned components are brand new, the ram was bought together and the motherboard is on the latest bios.

Problem I'm having is that when I try to boot with two ram sticks it wont start.

Only using one ram stick in slot B2 gets me to the bios.

Sticks are running at 4800mhz natively.

What I noticed is that I can dual boot with two ram sticks when I lower the mhz to 3200.

Turning on XMP Profile doesn't solve anything.

If you could give me any tipps I would appreciate it very much. Been sitting on this problem for the past 2-3 hours.

I am literally losing my damn mind.


EDIT: So turns out I had to run the sticks in the A2 / B2 configuration for them to work. With this I can even run them at the advertised 6000mhz.

I kinda chipped the A2 locking mechanism and the ram stick wouldn't enter there so I tried using the other slots. Turns out there was just some plastic wedged in there, removing that let me insert the stick and the pc booted up flawlessly.

Was the RAM purchased as a set or as two individual items?

Your RAM may not be supported by your motherboard. It's not on the list provided by NZXT, here: https://www.datocms-assets.com/34299/1697857443-n7-b650e-memory-qvl_231003.pdf
