Hey guys!

To start, I have 4GB x 4 Corsair Vengeance (red) RAM. This has been in Quad channel for quite some time with no issues...until now.

I recently installed a Corsair H105 water cooler and a 2nd EVGA GTX970 FTW 2.0 (SLI). I booted back up and everything was just about fine. The only issue is that 1/2 of my RAM isn't working. The BIOS doesn't see the RAM, Windows doesn't see the RAM, CPU-Z doesn't see the RAM. Have cycled each other ram with the working side of my DIMMS and all the RAM works fine.

Does anyone have any idea why 1/2 of my RAM slots would stop responding? I have linked a picture from my BIOs here that shows that it doesn't see the RAM. Keep in mind that is is plugged in.

Thanks in advance for all of your help!

Specs:
ASRock x79 Extreme7
Intel i7-3930k @ 4.4GHz
Corsair Vengeance 16GB @ 1600
EVGA Nvidia GTX 970 FTW 2.0 SLI
Samsung EVO 850
CoolerMaster 850W Silent Pro
 
Solution
Sounds like you may have adjusted your new cpu cooler too tight and it's causing some channels to be invisible due to tipping of the CPU. Re-install it and see if that helps

I'll give that a shot when I get home!

Thanks!
