I'm trying to setup my 2x Corsair 8gb RAM (16gb) on that mobo but for some annoying reason the dual channel aint working. Here's what i did so far

(All the following tests WERE DONE in a wood plate also).

Cleared CMOS RTC Between all tests Upgraded BIOS to its latest version.

  • Used 1 stick on DIMM A1: Failed.
  • Used 1 stick on DIMM A2: Failed.
  • Used 1 stick on DIMM B1: Success.
  • Used 1 stick on DIMM B2: Sucess.
  • Used 2 sticks (B1/B2): Success.
  • Used 2 sticks (A2/B2): Failed
  • Used 2 sticks (A1/B1): Failed

Repeated all the tests with 2x 4gb, same results. For some reason DIMM A ain't working, pressed memok dozen of times on all configurations, no luck.

I've been googling seems like this mobo got a crapload of problems, did anyone know how to fix that? As I bought this mobo while traveling to USA im not sure if i can RMA that to Asus.

  • ASUS and Corsair often causes issues. Make sure the RAM was tested by ASUS and is listed in Memory list for your motherboard. Jul 21, 2013 at 18:14
  • It does appear on QVL.

  • A good start may be to call ASSU support. At least they could advise on an RMA if possible. It sounds like a cruddy board and if your research shows "crapload of problems" then you may be fighting an unwinnable battle to get it to work. Swap it for a new one.

Finding a replacement board that meets your needs is likely the best course of action.

I would recommend the Asus Sabertooth Z77, if you can find one. The board comes with a 5 year warranty as does all products in the TuF line. Note that it does have the same drawbacks as most manufacturers, in that there is a QVL for memory/SSDs/etc.

  • "I've been googling seems like this mobo got a crapload of problems, did anyone know how to fix that? " Hence my reply of finding a new board. Of course he can RMA the board, and get a replacement board if ASUS allows, BUT if the RAM set is not part of the QVL, and is known to be an issue, there is a chance that other issues will crop up.

  • Your suggestion should have been submitted as a comment not an answer. If you want to suggest an RMA provide more substance to your answer.

  • @Ramhound Do you have any links that would clarify what exactly qualifies as an answer and what qualifies as a comment? Or are you going by your personal viewpoint on this matter? Sep 28, 2016 at 1:36
