Asus Rampge V Edition 10 - Memory missing

[Starling]

When I originally built this pc, I had 4x4gb G.skill Ripjaws V Series 3200mhz, I was getting the bd error and the pc would not post.

I followed the instructions here and got to roughly 1.5v before I started to gert concerned. Around this time it occurred to me that it may just be one dodgy stick, so I started testing them one-by-one in the same slot and found only one of them worked. I wrote this off to bad luck and RMA'd the set.

Now I have 2x8GB G.skill Ripjaws V Series 3200mhz and I have the same issue again. I have tested them individually and yet again, it only posts with one of them.

Is this bad luck, a defective motherboard that's breaking sticks or am I breaking them? I'd be really grateful for some help.

You should stay with kits tested by ASUS...

Because 2x8GB is dual channel, you need Quad 4x4 or 4x8 or 8x8,...4x16.

If one memory kit not work only way is to check every DIMM on other board, only to read them, nothing more.
If other board read them than problem is with motherboard.
For now for your board I would stay with Dominator Platinum 2666-3200 or GSkill TridentZ 3000-3200.
They are launched later and probably modules are little better than in Dominator Platinum, but that's not 100%.
If two different kits give error probably is motherboard.

Alright. I have ordered 4 platinums and I will see what I can do about trying them on a different board this weekend.

Thanks for the response. Will let you know how I get on.

Hey Starling,

Have you tested your memory with stock config ? No xmp?. If you leave it stock, do you see all your ram ? If so, means you gotta tweak the system agent.

I restore it to the stock settings after testing each stick individually, however I did not test them again individually. I'll give it a go.

I tested them all in D1. I will test them in other slots too today and update with results.

Tried them in other slots, it wouldn't post. I didn't go much further because the 2666mhz 4x4GB
Corsair Dominator Platinum's arrived.

I tested each Corsair in the D1 slot and pc posted each time.
I put them all in and tried to boot, it wouldn't post.
I enabled xmp, restarted and it posted and loaded windows perfectly.

Problem solved! Thanks very much for your help everyone. This is a testament to following compatibility lists, I guess. I'm just glad this headache is over.
