ASUS P5G41T-M LX2/gb and 1333mhz g.skill Aegis

zhirax · Nov 5, 2015

Hey everybody

i have an old system that i'm trying to udate a bit

System:
intel 2 Quad E9400 2.66Ghz
ASUS P5G41T-M LX2/gb
2x2 kingston pc3-10700
650w energon psu
Ati Radeon HD 5830 1gb ddr5

I have tried upgrading the ram with a 2x4 g.skil Aegis ram set (F3-1333C9D-8GIS)

But the pc will not boot with the ram inserted, i read on another thread that the motherboad and ram might be incompatible, can that be true?

according to CPU-Z my cpu is running an FSB at 1330 and the motherboard should support 2x4 gb 1333mhz with the correct cpu....?

can anybody give me a hand with this problem?

P.S:
I have already tried starting with one module, different sockets, updating the bios to 0504 (newest)..

Motherboard specs

Technology - DDR3 SDRAM
Bus Clock -1066 MHz, 800 MHz

Doesn't look like DDR3-1333 is supported, regardless of what your CPU is running at.

Det ser desværre ud til du har ret

ville disse være kompatible ? Ripjaws G.Skill 8GB DDR3-1066 (PC3-8500)Kit

Wolfshadw · Nov 5, 2015

Yes. Those DDR3-1066 RAM units should be compatible with your motherboard.

Thank you for all your help...i have no idea how i didn't see that my board didn't support 1333mhz...i must have been looking the wrong place

Sooo.. quick update.
i bought the Ripjaws G.Skill 8GB DDR3-1066 (PC3-8500)Kit and...it doesn't work either...am i really stuck with the world's worst motherboard or am i doing something wrong.?

Can you try with just one RAM module installed? Try them both, individually.

Just tried the following

both rams in,
one old in socket 1 one new in socket 2
first new ram in socket 1 and then socket 2
second new ram in socket 1 and then socket 2

nothing... the bios screen does not show, my screen (samsung syncmaster p2450) just cycles between the different options (vga, dvi, hdmi...) the screen is connected cia HDMI

update:
I tried bios reset and tried setting a static dram (my options was 800,1066 and 1333 sooo it seems like i should be able to run the Aegis ram)
i set the dram at 1066mhz and tried with the ripjaws ram
i set the dram at 1333mhz and tried the aegis ram
nothing worked

If it's at all possible, test your new RAM in another computer to verify it works. If it does, then I would say your motherboard is dead.

I don't have the possibility to test in another motherboard

thank for all your help, i will return my ram with a small loss (freight costs) and start saving for a new motherboard/cpu/ram system

I have googled the issue alot, and the problem keeps coming up with this kind of motherboard, i am not alone in my upgrade problems, another user, has had the exact same issue with the same ripjaw rams....it seems like the g.skill ram and this motherboard is just not compatible :S
