Hi,
I have asus p6t se mobo, and i wanted to upgrade the ram, so i bought G.Skill ares f3-1600c9d-8gab (it should be compatible according to Asus manual).
I installed the ram in the slots specified in the manual. powered on the pc - no screen (black) with no beeps! I cleared the BIOS config using the CLR pin and tried again - didn't work.
replaced the old ram and the PC worked again.

Is this ram compatible?
Thanks

Make sure you have the latest BIOS. Depending on build date, there are some dual channel memory kits that can work with that motherboard.

According to the manual the mobo does support dual channel by using the Channel A & B, It's sure not in the QVL list but 90% of the memories are not there (the old RAM isn't in the QVL list).
I'll try to update the BIOS.

I have the latest BIOS. It seems that the memory isn't compatible I'll check with the store.
My mobo is not the newest, and the QVL list isn't comprehensive and is old, how can I get a compatible RAM?!

You can get a compatible memory by downloading the QVL and searching "the part no." in a online store like newegg.

@SR-71 Blackbird I thought i miss something there..

then the only solution for you is to buy a compatible memory listed in QVL.

It seem to be not campatible, but single channel memories are good and supported, I bought 2 single channel and they word togther as dual when installing them acoording to the manual.
I bought G.Skill ripjaws-x 8gb cl1600mhz.
