Hello all i just recently built a new system comprising of the following;
- i5 6600k
- MSI Krait z170 mobo
- Corsair vengence DDR4 2666 (2x4gb)
- Gigabyte GTX 980
- SSD HDD ECT ECT....
So for starters according to Corsair and MSI the RAM is compatible with each other.
Anyway the problem im facing now (after hours of DRAM and CPU/VGA board errors, debug lights will be the death of me i swear) is that the ram i have installed is underclocked in the BIOS to 2133mhz and is sitting in separate channels ( 1x is in chan 1 slot 3, the other is in chan 2 slot 4).
The system is running atm and appears to notice all the ram however my issue is that when i go into the BIOS to change the ram speed to 2666 the system reboots, fails then resets back to the 2133 setting. Also the ram being used any other slot in any imaginable configuration the system does not read it.
Furthermore is this an issue?
Am i loosing performance (apart from the obvious mhz downgrade)?
Is the RAM or Mobo the issue (ie, dead sticks or faulty slots)?
Should i change RAM to a higher mhz or brand?
Anything i've missed?
Thanks heaps in advance
