Hi guys. Hope everyone is well. I have been dealing with issues for weeks. This is from a new rig i built less than 2 years ago. The long and the short is my Corsair H100I died and had to be replaced. I also had to replace my G1 Sniper 5. I also replaced my i7 4770K just to be on the safe side.

With the new RNA Motherboard, it turns out that the 2 RAM slots closest to the CPU aren't working. I get multi beeps. I have tested this with two different CPUs (same type), same thing happened. I have the latest BIOS. My RAM is Corsair Vengeance 32GB (4 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory. As far as I can tell they are all working. I'm also using a EVGA GeForce GTX 980 4GB Superclocked ACX 2.0 Video Card and it's all in a Cooler Master HAF X ATX Full Tower Case. I made the build but I consider myself a layman and I can't seem to figure out the problem. Please Help! Cheers.

No. Only the two slots furthest from the CPU (closer to the Power) work. Either one or two slots filled. The other two slots don't work, with either a single or both slots filled. All I get is the multi beeps.

A Corsair H100I GTX. It's working well and temps are normal.

I'm going to replace my cooler with a corsair h110i gtx. Two of the 4 RAM slots are still not working. Should I try raising the voltage to RAM? I've heard people talk about such things. But I've never done and would never try it unless I knew exactly what I was doing.
