kingston hyperx ddr3 1600 compatibility problem

ebarisonl · Mar 22, 2014

Hi everyone, i just bougt 1600 mhz kingston hyperx ddr3 (KHX1600C9D3K2/8GX) (2X4 GB KİT) for asus p5 g41 c-mlx motherboard and q 8400 processor And when i installed it, pc just starts but bios doesn't start, nothing on the monitor. are these rams completely incompatible with this motherboard?

i did bios update but latest update is 2011, so may be motherboard doesnt recognize new rams, i set fsb 1333 mhz and tried to change ram timings but nothing worked

Well they won't run at 1600 unless the FSB is at 1600, can try with FSB 1333 and the DRAM freq at 1333, will prob need additional voltage to the DRAM and the NB (where the MC (memory controller) is

it is ok for me if it runs at 1333 mhz cause mb supports 1333 ddr3 (O.C) but doesnt even bios start when these rams installed. i tried ( 9-9-9-24 with 1.65 volt) timings but nothing happened

Hi, I'm Jewel with Kingston Technical Support and would like to offer our assistance. It is possible that the HyperX 4GB memory modules are Single Rank as the latest builds of that part number are Single Rank. Up until recently 4GB modules were standard Dual Rank. Basically, the issue that can occur is that the memory module uses high capacity individual memory chips (DRAM) that the motherboard is not equipped to recognize. Usually, if a motherboard is able to recognized standard 8GB modules it should not have an issue recognizing Single Rank 4GB modules. A "1R" may be printed on the label which would indicate it as single rank. Otherwise, we can confirm this based on a reference number printed on the memory label that we can look up in our system. Other common issue with the DDR2/DDR3 combo motherboards that can be overlooked is that it only supports DDR2 OR DDR3 memory. This means you cannot have both DDR2 AND DDR3 memory installed at the same time, it is an either/or option. We do not currently support your PFG41C-M LX motherboard as we no longer manufacture memory that would be compatible with that motherboard. For any further assistance, please call us at 1-800-435-0640 (USA and Canada only) M - F 6am - 6pm PT and I or another available Technician will assist you. Please be sure to have the part in question on hand when you call.

Thank you for selecting Kingston as your upgrade partner.
