hey guys!

i Begin with my build:
I5 7500
MSI z270 Gaming pro(non carbon model)
RAM 2x8gb Corsair vengeance lpx 2133mhz ddr4 cl13
ASUS GTX 1070 dual 8gb
CORSAIR CM750x
Phanteks enthoo evolv atx

The system won*t boot whatever i do, I tried all possible combinations with all slots and also one at a time.
so i started with buying a new kit of ram 2x4gb 2400mhz crucia ballistix, installing them, the system worked perfectly.

now i know that the problem is my old ram which are almost new,
checking on the ram sticker i saw 6th gen I5/7 which is a little bit weird,
on my mobo compatibility list for memory i saw the same exact model but with voltage rated at
1.25v on my ram the voltage is 1.20v,

When i boot the system the EZ Debug Led stays on ram for 2 seconds and then flashes on the cpu for half a second and then again ram, cpu etc...

is it possible that my cpu doesn"t support these ram? or is it my mobo for that 0.5v difference?
any help is appreciated
 
Solution
The "ver" number indicates the memory chip manufacturer and the module revision.

Corsair memory part number CMK16GX4M2A2133C13 is (supposed to be) compatible according to the tested memory QVL here. And note that the memory voltage should be at least 1.25 V for this Corsair memory.

Does the motherboard have the latest BIOS (7A59v23)? If not, try downloading it from here and updating the present BIOS. The latest version(s) of BIOS improves memory compatibility, so installing the latest version might help to run the Corsair memory.

Hey,
Thanks for your answer,
How do I change the voltage from bios?
When I go there the voltage is not changeable!

Hey,
Sorry For My late answer, I figured it out after a few minutes but it didn't work neither, I tried 1.250v and 1.350v
Corsair website states that the compatibile motherboards are only the Deluxe x99 and rampage v xtreme
Is it possible?

Hey,
Thanks for your answer,
I was desperate so i returned the motherboard this morning and ordered an Asus Prime Z270-A
I hope that the ram memories are going to work with that mobo otherwise I'm gonna need to return the ram.
I will update tomorrow when I put hands on the mobo!
Thanks again,
