So, I have two sets of 2x8GB ram from Corsair (32gb - 4x8GB in total)
http://www.corsair.com/en-us/vengeance-low-profile-16gb-dual-channel-ddr3-memory-kit-cml16gx3m2a1600c10r
These two sets works well together and I have been using them in a machine that I used fort virtualization before.
I have since acquired a proper server to replace this machine and therefore I don't have any use for the hardware.
In my everyday machine I also have 32GB of ram (4x8GB) but this is a single kit. (I need this much for game development)
http://www.corsair.com/en-us/vengeance-32gb-quad-channel-ddr3-memory-kit-cmz32gx3m4x1600c10
My motherboard is an Asus X79 Deluxe with 8 x DIMM slots http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/X79DELUXE/
My CPU is an i7 4930K
So I figured I might as well put the RAM in my main computer. I do sometimes reach 32gb usage and I woulnd't mind being able to use bigger RAM disks every once in a while.
I figured since these kits are so similar It might work, but it didn't.
I know you shouldn't really expect any ram that wasn't bought together to work together, but I want to at least try.
What kind of settings can I try to make them play along? I have tested some different settings but I'm not experienced enough with this. Some of the RAM shows up as "Abnormal" in BIOS and won't work when used together with the other kit.
Also, what would be the best placement in the dim slots for the different kits?
Thanks in advance!
