I upgraded my i5-4670K with an i7-4790K. When I installed the i7 it killed my channel A memory sockets. Researching this I saw it has happened to other people. Now I will have to buy a new motherboard because I need at least 16gb ram. What would cause this to happen?
My setup:
Asrock Z87 Extreme 4
Intel Core i7-4790K 4.0GHz Quad-Core Processor
Memory Crucial Ballistix Sport 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Seagate Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
EVGA GeForce GTX 780 Ti 3GB Superclocked ACX Video Card
NZXT Phantom 410 (White) ATX Mid Tower Case
Raidmax 850W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply
Asus DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS DVD/CD Writer
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 (OEM) (64-bit)
AOC e2752Vh 60Hz 27.0" Monitor
BenQ RL2455HM 60Hz 24.0" Monitor
