Hello, I bought a pair of Team Group Vulcan Gold 8GB (2x4GB) 2133Mhz 1.65v to try and use them in my Core 2 Duo E7600 (OC @ 3.7Ghz) and MSI G41M-P25 motherboard setup, and they don't work. I just get the 3 beeps and PC doesn't boot. Shouldn't they be able to run but at lower frequency? 1333Mhz maybe?
I'll upgrade to a new motherboard in about 2-3 months but I needed extra RAM now so went for ones that would be suitable for the new motherboard. Any idea on what I can do to make it work? I updated the BIOS, tried clearing the CMOS, different FSB switch settings, no success.
Update:
Just tested the rams in a new PC, AsRock motherboard (Z87 chipset if I remember right), i7 4770k and tested them at 1066Mhz and 1.5V which my motherboard supports, and they worked just fine, so I'm guessing my motherboard is simply incompatible with the RAM even though the RAM itself can run at lower frequency and voltage.
Am I guessing right that I have no way of using them unless I upgrade my motherboard?
